Naming someone after a woman who had a difficult, almost unbearable personality?
Question
Is there any point in naming someone after a person who died?
Does it give that deceased person anything?
There was a woman in the family with a very difficult personality, and some say she was downright wicked,
but in the family there are people who are happy when someone is named after her.
Is it advisable?
At least to make the living happy?
Does it affect the child?
Answer
I do not believe in such effects.
