Historically, in the United States,the traditional English naming schemefor children was often used – especially since in the old days there were many offspring in families. The first son, according to this tradition, was named after the dad’s father, the second – in honor of the mom’s father, the third – in honor of the father himself, the fourth – in honor of the eldest of the dad’s brothers, and so on. The same principle was usually applied to the choice of names for girls, only here priority was given to the names of relatives on the maternal side.
However, many centuries have passed since then, and the rigid system of naming children is a thing of the past, leaving only some of its elements: for example, naming a son after his grandpa, and a daughter after her grandma. On the other hand, history must be known and respected – no one argues here, but it should not prevent us from looking to the future.
