alt Hacker NewsI hadn’t thought about that but makes me wonder if it will become more common since not taking your husbands name has become more common. I wouldn’t think so, but I’m pushing 50 and can’t think of ever meeting a female named after her mom so if it shows up at all in the data that would be interesting.
Funny enough, I think it’s common for the female middle name to be a mom/grandma/aunt name.

Doesn't everyone do that? My brother has a grandparents name as his middle. I never thought of it as a gendered tradition
Is it a specific cultural thing I wonder

My guess is no, because carrying the family legacy is falling out of fashion as much as taking the husband's name, maybe even more so.
