The Grandparent Question

By IWIPIH | Updated 2025

Naming After Relatives

Many families have traditions of naming after grandparents or other relatives. It's a way of honoring those who came before.

When It Gets Complicated

What if the grandparent you should honor has a name you really don't like? Or if several family members want the same name?

Alternatives Exist

Middle names, variations, or names with similar meanings let you honor without copying exactly.
