Family Names...what do you think?

Its hard to pick one name over another. In the Jewish religion the tradition is to name the child after someone who is no longer alive, to honor their memory. Also, it could be confusing if 2 close relatives have the same name, although in my family this happens a lot and there doesn't seem to be any problems (my name is Alan and I have 2 cousins with the same first and last names, but I don't see them very often). If your great grandparents are no longer alive and you knew some of them or heard stories about them, she might want to use one of their names. If the child is named after a living relative, maybe she could adjust the name slightly so it is similar but not exactly the same.
