What about a name tradition where a name "concept" is passed on? ... Ok, I really don't like Claude names at all, but this is an immediate example:gen. 1: Claudine
gen. 2: Claudette
gen. 3: Claudia

Well, for some reason which goes against almost everything I wrote up there I consider Claudine, Claudette, and Claudia all the same name, so that doesn't bother me at all. *shrug*

Donovan
Donnegan...just realized that last one almost sounds like the silly pun of "Don again".

Except those aren't the same name. Totally separate roots.

Part may also depend if you're going for the meaning or the sound or both... I don't think of Claudia, Claudette and Claudine as the same name in and of themselves, but dif. feminizations of the same name.
