  1. Old Customs

    Share Share Post
    The first of a family whether a boy or a girl is called after his grand-parent. If it is a girl she is called after her fathers mother and if it is a boy he is called after his father’s father. The second boy and girl are called after her mother’s father and mother. But if the first boy is to be called after his grandfather, and that his grandfather has the same name as his father then the rule is broken because it is said to be unlucky to have a child, parent and grandparent of the same name in one house.
