ArchivesRe: french naming conventions
in reply to a message by Wade
No, you don't have to use a name that's previously been in the family. In fact, in the last forty years there's been a fairly wide (non-French) range of names applied to infants - ther 70's fad for Russian first names comes to mind.
However, there is still some control over what moronic parents may name their children, unlike here. Perhaps someone else on this board knows the current state of name-control in France.

I agree with you, I haven't heard of this tradition either.
I just know that Jews like to use names in memory of family members that have passed away but that's about it.
