You don't need to name your kid after someone in your family to avoid naming trends.

Also, it seems needlessly complicated to have a family where everyone is named after each other. Must make get togethers fun - or trying to talk about deceased family members. Of course, you could go with nicknames but that brings me back to the original point - why name your kid someone if it's not even going to be his actual name?

And it's great that you don't - but some kids do. And there's no way for parents to know at birth. Giving a random name is neutral. Unless you call a kid "Adolf" or "Cain" or something.

There aren't a bunch of living people with the same name in my family. My aunt and I were alive at the same time, but my great-grandmother wasn't, so there were only two of us at once. My dad's first name was my grandfather's middle name and my middle name is my grandfather's first name (it's kind of unisex), so it's not like any of us are being called the same thing.

As for "why name your kid something if it's not going to be his actual name," well, do you think people should just name their kids Bob and Bill and Tom and Katie instead of Robert, William, Thomas, and Katherine? And if the parents do use the name they want to call their kid, should they enforce some kind of "no nicknames ever" policy? Like, don't anyone dare call little Christina "Chris" or "Tina," because if they wanted to call her one of those, they'd have put it on the birth certificate?

(Oh, and relating to your last comment, there was a kid named Adolf at my school. He was black!)
