My mom gave me her younger sisters middle name for my middle name. And that same younger sister (my aunt) did the same thing with her youngest daughters middle name, giving her my mothers middle name. What's really strange is I look like my aunt (we're the only 2 redheads in the family), and my cousin looks more like my mom than I do.
Mostly it's a middle name swap that seems to happen in my family. First names are usually chosen at will.
I don't know if I'll name any of my kids that way, should I have any someday.
