Re: Naming children for dead siblings
in reply to a message by lac
Don't think I have! Boys tend to be named more conservatively than girls, of course. I'll keep an eye out for examples, and provide them here if they ever turn up.The full names of everyone who passed the 12th-year school-leaving exam used to appear in the daily newspapers, but there has been a policy change so my major source of teenage naming info no longer exists. Pity!

I always thought that fictional figures Jane & Ken would go on to have Kane & Jenny. Perhaps, the male form of name-splicing/portmanteaux results in existing names.
