HelpRe: Giving all your kids the same name
in reply to a message by kvpp88
I agree with the others, it's not sweet, it's just silly. They could have named one child Paul or Paula, or they could have chosen Paul or forms of Paul for middle names. The celebrity you're thinking of is George Foreman. His sons are called George Jr, George III, George IV, George V and George VI. He also named two daughters Georgetta and Freeda George!
In Sweden we don't have the tradition of naming children after their parents, like being Paul Jr., for example. The most common tradition is to give your children their middle name(s) after grandparents or other people that are dear to you.
But there are exceptions.
Swedish tennis champion Stefan Edberg has a son called Stefan Jr, Swedish musician Mikael Rickfors has a daughter called Leakim (Mikael backwards!) and Swedish singer Mikael Samuelson has a daughter called Mikaela.
Also, Swedish actor/comedian Claes Malmberg has named his sons Nils, Nicholas and Nelson.

Because of our longing?
