Traditional names had meanings, now virtually lost. There are still a scattering of Biblical names out there, and a few folks who carry on names of ancestors in their memory.

My son and his wife had their first baby 2 weeks ago. He is named after my son, who is named for his grandfather (my father) and his wife’s father.
My father’s name goes back to the 18th century in my father’s family. Family names still strong choices in the South.
