I have several generations of those named John (first name) Paul (last name). We got to John Paul IV (which I personally find hilarious).
I also have several generations of those named George (first name) Paul (last name). Two of those were George William Paul.
I've more than one branch where a child was named for a deceased sibling.
My longest living rellie, 2nd cousin twice removed, Maggie Gordon Vernon Stewart, was named for her family lineage. Her grandmother was Margaret Gordon and her great-grandmother was Margaret Vernon. And, of course, there's the Margaret that for her was Maggie when she was born and Margaret when she died.
My Granddad was named for one of his father's best friends (and a colleague, and also a brother-in-law of sorts)., and used that name as his preferred use-name rather than his actual given first name.
My Uncle (I only have the one, my dad was an only child) was named for his paternal grandmother's family (Gordon) and also his mother's family (Newton). Fortunately for him, both names worked as forenames.
My younger brother was named for TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia).
My children are named, in part, for (gr)grandparents and an uncle. My son was also named for Douglas Bader, someone I had the absolute pleasure of meeting when he was in Western Australia in 1976. (I also met his second wife, who was with him. Delightful people, both of them, and very gracious hosts to someone who was meant to have only a "10 to 15 minutes" meeting (his words on setting up the meeting) that went on for over an hour.)
My one grandson is named for my family name.
Me .. I wasn't named for anyone but myself because my mother liked the names she gave me (and, no, she had not read, or seen, Gone With the Wind at the time).
