Is this narcissistic?

Don't wish to out myself so am trying to explain this situation with equivalent names rather than the real ones...

Is it narcissistic to name my DD with a variant of my own name? For example, if I were named Eleanor and I named my daughter Helen.

Of coarse not! When pg with ds we considered sadie if he was a dd - sadie being a variant of sarah. Most of my dads side of the family have 'wee' so and so named after them :)

Personally I'd find it a bit weird. I know of a couple of people who have the same or similar names to their offspring and I can't get my head around it. Sorry to be blunt.
