"I keep having people names the same. what's up with that?"

"What's with these names?"

Funner reasons to answer that question:

• They ran out of names

• It was traditional to name the first born son after the first born

• His father's first name is her sons middle name

• We wanted some thing unique, it sounded like it should be from our home country

• No no that's right.

• That is what has always been... why change it.

• If we went with tradition or followed with what your uncle said is right- it wouldn't be appropriate - example Harry Dyck so we went with the other uncle's name

• It costs money to register the names. That is the real reason you all have the same first name

• It was a translation issue. That is what the name became at the border and we don't know enough of the language to be unique.

• Does it matter what I named you? I picked it so you can pay to change it.

• "I pretty sure they did it for legal reasons"*sighs* I am not sure which side of the legal we are concerned with.

• They didn't know how to write so just put the X.

• So we wouldn't have to change the name of the business the child would inherit.

• The spiritual leaders chose the name. ~*sighs* way to set the bar high tribal elders....

What are some of the fun reasons you've seen?
