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

Good. Let kids have their own identity. I’ve always cringed at the Ebeneezer Gortlegump IV’s of the world.
What I have seen is it is much more common to have the firstborn daughter have a middle name of an ancestor, often grandmother.

Can confirm myself, my mother, and my maternal grandmother all have the same middle name. Call it a southern thing I suppose. I killed the tradition by being childess and my younger sister refused to pass it to my niece.
