Re: Naming children for dead siblings
in reply to a message by lac
It might be unpopular now, but it still happens. I was born in 1995. A girl from my high school class has a younger sister named Maria. Before my ex-classmate was born, her parents had had quadruplets, all of whom died within days. One of them was a girl, whose name was also Maria. Honestly, I find it somewhat creepy.
I'd say that this trend stopped being a trend when children mortality rate went down.
