Gary> And I'm not sure how to define this use: "I was named after my Great Gary> grandfather. That would be something like "in a manner inspired by", assuming you don't just decide that "name after" is an incompletely-analyzable phrasal verb. (In my 'lect "after" is still generally productive in this sense, so I don't hold that latter view, but I can understand those who might.) -Mark
