ArchivesQuestions on Greek names in general
These are all to do with the tradition of naming babies after their grandparents:
1. How would a baby be named if, for want of a better description, the parents have run out of grandparents to name baby after? (for example, they have more than two sons or daughters, or more than four children)
2. What would the custom be if the baby’s/babies’ grandparents share the same first name?
3. What would the custom be if the baby has a non-Greek grandparent to be named after, especially if this grandparent has a name which does not have a Greek equivalent?
4. How would Jewish Greek families name their children, if the grandparents were still living?
