Does that make sense?
Not really...
My middle name is my dad's first name, his middle name was my grandad's first name, etc etc (for something obscene like 15 generations). Which technically makes me Nicholas Andrew Nariman Surabji [...], but we got into the habit of stopping at two
My family has name traditions too, only on the female line rather than the male... Every first born daughter has 'Goverina' - or some variation of it, as either their first or second name.
This could get quite confusing if there's a load of first born girlies in the room, so the variations are used, I (used to) have a whole plethora of aunts called things like:
Ina
Ietje
Mina
Sija
Wija
Vera
Verina
Verine
Veertje
Govje
Govie
Rina
Rine...
Can't remember any others atm... Oh, thats my Dutch side of the Family btw

My parents had my sister, and then another daughter, she was very ill and only lived seven months, her middle name was Louise, which is my first name. My sister's middle name is Jane, which is my middle name. Hence my sister named me after the sister i never met and she wanted me and her to share middle names.
