What do you think of parents naming their children after them? For example, recently a friend Alexandra "Alex" Heather and her husband Louis called their daughter Lexi-Lou. I've also met a Joseph "Joey" Russell who's mummy is Josephine "Josie". But what raised this question is that Belinda"Billie" is planning on calling her child William Martin/Billie-Mae (sibs and step sibs are Conner, Connor, Morgan-Jean (f), Sarah-Lou, Charlie-Paige) and I can't decide what I think about it?

Also my at my twins playgroup there was a new family (unsure of age order but they're all under 4) Elsa "Elsie" Bryony, Olive "Olly" Maria, Harriet "Hattie" Anneliese, Mabel "May" Francesca. Mum (Francesca/Fran) was pregnant with Theodore Peter and Greta (possibly as a nn for Margaret or Gretchen, but likely just Greta) Lillian. Dad was "Eddie".

ETA: Just realised Alex spelled her daughters name Lexxie-Lou, not Lexi.. Sibs are Lucy-Lou, Luca-Lee, Louisa-Lee and cousin Lacey.

See, I think it's really cute that your daughter is named after her father. The thing I wasn't sure about is the mother and the child going by almost exactly the same name. I'm also unsure how I feel about juniors so maybe that what my problem is.
