[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ashkenazi here- 1. Name after deceased relatives to honor their memory and keep them alive through stories. Using the first letter only allows multiple grandchildren to name after the deceased without having a whole generation in one family named Benjamin. It really does keep the kids connected and interested in family history every time we say you were named after your great-grandma Sylvia she was a fantastic swimmer, blah blah blah. 2. Naming after the living isn’t done because evil eye, superstition/tradition of the idea that the angel of death might be confused and take the younger person first. [/quote] I’m the one with twins who just used the Hebrew name - it was my mom’s. My brother used the first letter of my mom’s nickname (different letter than her real name) for his daughter’s name. Other brother used mom’s real name for his daughter’s middle name. So we are all covered. [/quote]
