Imagine your grandfather’s name was Eli Isaac*, his father’s name was Isaac Eli, and his father’s name was Eli Isaac, and so on as far back as you can find. The names skipped a generation because your grandfather’s only living children were girls, but as you were very close to him you would like to use them for your son.
Would you choose Eli Isaac, which was your grandfather’s name and accounts for the missing generation, or Isaac Eli, to continue the alternation?
*These aren’t the actual names, so please try not to take them into account!
The real names do run into each other the same way Eli Isaac does if that affects your choice at all, and both are popular names but the “Eli” of the pair is more classic.
Thanks! :)
