Every eldest boy in my family has had the same first name for about 5 generations , it's a tradition saints name, very plain, my parents gave it to my brother as a middle name.
My brother has just had his first son and is not using the name as they don't really like it.
My parents are a bit hurt, but not saying anything.
I kind of think it's not a big deal, but it's a small thingthey could have done to make GP's happy.
I did it with my sons and gave them both welsh family middle names to please my IL's. we don't use them so it doesn't matter.
