I hadn’t thought about that but makes me wonder if it will become more common since not taking your husbands name has become more common. I wouldn’t think so, but I’m pushing 50 and can’t think of ever meeting a female named after her mom so if it shows up at all in the data that would be interesting.
replyFunny enough, I think it’s common for the female middle name to be a mom/grandma/aunt name.
Doesn't everyone do that? My brother has a grandparents name as his middle. I never thought of it as a gendered tradition
replyIs it a specific cultural thing I wonder
Possibly. I’ve just heard it more with girls and wouldn’t expect it’s evenly common on relative basis but certainly could be wrong
