Actually, I am named after my grandfather.
He was the first child (on my father's side) of our family to actually be born in the United States.
My immigrant great-grandparents were so happy to be here (legally) that they named their first child after the President: William McKinley. (He was the GOP President who won the Spanish-American War which resulted in Cuban Independence from Spain.)

Of course, this doesn't mean anything to someone who is hellbent on making a jack@$$ out of themselves, such as yourself.
