Comment on I have never met a woman named after her own mother

Yet I’m sure they exist.

From some random article:

Naming a daughter after a mother isn’t a modern phenomenon; in some cultures, the tradition of matrilineal naming goes back centuries. In Ireland, and several other European countries, it was commonplace to name the first daughter after the maternal grandmother, the second daughter after the paternal grandmother, and the third daughter after the mother.

The practice is also prevalent in several Spanish-speaking countries, where it’s common to carry on both parents’ last names as well.

And then there’s Iceland.
