I also don't like naming sons after fathers, because if the name isn't something that can be shortened a few different ways (i.e., William Sr could be Bill and William Jr could be Billy), it gets confusing. Plus, the kid eventually gets sick of being called "Little" (name) after awhile.

Well in my family my brother is named after my dad.. both Michaels.. my dad has always gone by mickey though to family and friends.. though my brother just goes as michael. Now the catch is I am dating someone named Michael (goes as mike).. haha..
then my cousin is named after his dad John Michael.. he uses his full name.. so thats not so confusing in our fam..
most of my family has used all family names.. which I will probably do the same.. I was almost Victoria Elyssa though (which is a family name but my mom and dad feared people calling me Vicky..)
