This has happened in my sil's family - the name that is carried on from generation to generation. All variants of Anthony (Antonius - her Opa, Tony -her dad, Anthony - her eldest brother, and Little Anthony - eldest nephew). It isn't too bad most of the time, and I know the her bro gets Tony at home so that te and son have different names, but it's not for me!

DD's name came about due to DH wanting to name her after me and me not being a Dan of the same name being passed on. He looked at lots of variations of my name, then thought maybe the month of my birth (May/Mae) then to my birthstone. We liked the birthstone best...
