My family uses grandparents and great-grandparents names traditionally, but my cousins have declined to use almost any of them. I love them all (with a few exceptions) and want to carry this on, but I'm getting stuck.
Maternal:
Betty Louise Cedars (
Louise also my mothers mn)
Herschel Curtis Miles (I used
Curtis for my son)
Paternal:
Jeanette Octavia Mutchler (born
Octavia Jeanette, she switched them on her marriage license)
Clurel
Travis Hunter (
Travis as mm used for ALL uncles, male cousins, nephews, etc. I don't like it)
Both of my grandfathers were from large families who used the "same first letter" trend in the aughts:
Herschel Herbert Harold Howard,
Clarence Cecil Clyde Clurel etc. I'm not sure I want to use these.
Other, older names I could use:
Diademia,
Hazel,
Elsie,
Phillip
So! this is what I have come up with.

Phillip HerschelMiles Cedar
Love either girl names, totally uncertain on boys. Need opinions!!
