Well, the tradition in my family is that the eldest son is named by
swapping the first and middle names of the father. All other names are
based on whatever you feel like, but usually from something in classical
mythology or a saint. Apparently, this is the norm for Christian families
from a middle eastern background.
Unfortunately, some poor kid in the next generation is gonna get called
Alfred :-)
