To: myknowledge

In my wife’s family it is a tradition to name the eldest son after the father and the eldest daughter after the mother.

Interestingly, my wife’s brother (named after his/fer father) broke with tradition in a good way — her younger brother was killed in a tragic car crash and thus is now the name of his eldest son.

We don’t (and won’t) have kids, but we are eying our nieces and nephews as our heirs (but they don’t know it).
