to think it is odd to call your children your name

[CheeseEloise1]

Found it very strange when my brother and his wife named their daughter after wife's name. She is Mexican so put it down to tradition. They are about to have a second child and are going to call it my brother's name.
I can't say anything to them but find it very odd that daughter has mother's name and so has father's name. What would a third child be called? AIBU to find the whole thing a bit odd?

[Baconyum]

Just a wee note mac does mean son of but, Gregor, Donald etc were surnames originally not forenames. So eg

Macdonald means son of the family (clan) Donald not son of the person Donald.

[MrEBear]

It's debatable chicken & egg. Where did the Clan (family) name come from was there a Donald who was the original / first clan chief?

To the person who mentioned McKenzie being used as a first name traditionally in Scotland the Mc would be dropped.
