We have some friends who have several children, including boy/girl twins. They named the boy twin after his father, and the girl twin after her mother. First name for first name. Just always seemed a bit strange to me... I totally agree with the concept of naming sons after their father, but it just seems odd to have a daughter named directly after her mother. Do you agree? Would it be any different if say they gave the daughter the mother's middle name as a first name? Should any part of a mother's name ever be given to her own child? What are your thoughts?
