We were early adopters of this trend. We’ve got a Helen and a Bernadette, though in Catholic homeschooling circles, those names are common enough.

My kids were born in 2001, 2003, and 2004.

They area named for my wife’s aunt (and me), our mothers, and our fathers.

They are all ladies, so we feminized our dad’s names (Gene to Gina, Max to Maxine, etc.).

When my grandbaby was born, my oldest daughter named her for her mom, and grandbaby daddy’s mom. (Unfortunately, she wasn’t married, and they’ve now split, but that’s another problem).

Seems like we were on the leading edge of this fad of naming our kids after our ancestors.
