i'm commenting on one post... and it makes me wanna make a new post! lol sorry. i'm just copying/pasting from my comment.

my question is:

have you come across anyone named after a dead family member/friend... like, they were named as a token of rememberance?

ok, my best friend is naming one of her sons *first name or middle* Atticus; i may as well.
story behind:

her best guy friend (ergo, one of my friends/aquaintances) in High School was a huge skater and always sported at least one item on him that was of the Atticus line. So she dubbed him, and his nickname became Atticus, and after a year or so no one remembered to call him by his real name - he just BECAME 'Atticus'; even to his family. lol.

He joined the Army after high school, was shipped to Iraq, made it home after infantry touring, sadly died in an accident while stationed in KY.
So i think we're going to bring that name into more common-place use in his memory. :) i think it's a lovely name. :D

I have an Aunt named Carla who died in 2000. My cousin had a daughter, and named her Qarla. Yes, with a Q.

Also, Edward is a big family name as well.
