True, there certainly can be, but there doesn't mean that there have to be. In my experience (my brother is a "IV"), that kind of imposition of expectations is the exception, not the rule -- and if those expectations are in fact there, they are likely to be there regardless of what the kid gets named.

I like her names in general, and Harry naming his kids Lily, James, and Albus Severus isn't the same as twin naming his son after his dead brother. It sets off warning bells.
I see your point, but like I said, it seems very normal to me. I would expect other family members to refrain from naming a kid Fred because they would think it's George's prerogative to use that name. And I would expect George to name his son Fred -- and I trust George not to expect little Fred to be brother Fred reincarnated.

The real question is -- who did George marry?
