Kinda...my folks thought my dad's family had a tradition of giving the first born son the father's name as a middle name so my brother is Brian Allan. Problem is, years later my dad got into genealogy and it turns out the tradition was using John (or an ethnic derivative) going back hundreds of years LOL. Brian should have been Brian John or something. Brian used a family name as his son's mn (Alex Arthur), but it was actually my younger sister who brought back the John(athon) LOL.
