My Great-gran was born in 1855. My mum, my nan and her all share a first name. In addition some of my uncles married women with the same first name.

So there began a tradition of naming the girls in the family with the name or a version of it, either as a first name or second name. We are a big family, spread around the world.

I have a new granddaughter due this year I was so pleased that this baby is going to have the name also.

Has this happened in any other GN families.
