Lots of people like to name their kids after someone in their family. Honor a grandparent, a mother's maiden name, what have you. My family line includes the following not-so-typical names:
Socrates
Ulysses
Agamemnon
Dead serious. There was a Socrates Stockton. (And not too far back on the family tree, either - I'm not talking about ancient Greece.)
I think I will have to pass on passing these on, should I have kids. Although we did have a giggle at naming a baby girl "Ulyssa."
