It is tradition in Italian families that the first daughter and son be named after the father's parents, and the second daughter and son be named after the mother's parents. I, along with 3 of my cousins, am named Phyllis for my father's mother. My brother, Russell, is one of 4 in our family. My middle name, Rosa, is for my mother's sister and my father's sister... that's what you get for being Italian!
