Some parents decide to name their son after their father. Or to name their daughter after their mother.

At first glance, the decision seems right. Mom or dad are very pleased. In addition, there is an opportunity to make family relationships more trusting.

However, folk signs do not recommend taking such a step.

It is believed that if there are namesakes in a family, this can lead to undesirable consequences.

Why You Shouldn't Name Your Child After a Parent

According to signs, if you name your son after his father, then as he grows up, the child may never find a common language with his close relative.

The same thing can happen if you name your daughter after her mother.

It is also believed that after decades, someone may begin to force the namesake to leave the house.

Another important point

Folk omens advise against naming a child in honor of a deceased relative.

You shouldn't expect good consequences if a son is named after a father who died before his child was born. The boy may "inherit" his father's unfortunate fate.
