This happens in my family quite a lot! There is a John & William in every generation, and the only way to tell them apart is by their mother's maiden names.
I was almost named for my mama - Dixie Lee - but my parents were afraid that I would be stigmatized by anyone who put a racist connotation to the name. I often wonder, "What if...?"
As for the Jennifers & Melissas - they're old names that have enjoyed a recycling. Enjoy the history of it!
