Kurosawa's women, when they do take part in the action, are positively frightening. (Doesn't he know any NICE girls?)
I liked this post; we have the same tradition. Typically, the firstbon son is named after the paternal grandfather, the firstborn daughter is named after the paternal grandmother, the second son is named after the maternal grandfather, and the second daughter is named after the maternal grandmother.
It's a wonderful way of preserving family history and traditions.
We try to work in both sets of grandparents - my daughter is named after both grandmothers, as well as THEIR grandmothers who both happened to have the same name.
