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 :-) -- Fabian Don't you believe insanity claws?
