ArchivesRe: Naming children for dead siblings
in reply to a message by Anneza
Thanks for the answer. I've heard about Afrikaaner name-splicing. It's very interesting. Have you ever heard of it being done for boys?

Don't think I have! Boys tend to be named more conservatively than girls, of course. I'll keep an eye out for examples, and provide them here if they ever turn up.
The full names of everyone who passed the 12th-year school-leaving exam used to appear in the daily newspapers, but there has been a policy change so my major source of teenage naming info no longer exists. Pity!
