My first name is that of my mother's favorite uncle.
The interesting thing is that it's his surname, not his given name.
It is also my uncle's middle name.
This means that the name has gone from a last name, to a middle name, to a given name over three generations, which I find interesting.
I still have relatives with the same surname as my given name, but they're all still in Ireland.
My daughter's given name is the same as my maternal grandmother, Evelyn.
Her middle name is Clare, named for my wife's paternal grandmother. We thought this tied her nicely to both families.
Cheers,
B.
