Many parents decide to name their newborn child in honor of a deceased relative.
Some mothers and fathers are sure that there is nothing wrong with a child bearing the name of his long-dead grandfather.
On the contrary, the memory of a person who is no longer alive is preserved.
However, folk signs say that giving a child the name of a deceased person is not the best idea.
Who You Shouldn't Name Your Child After
According to popular belief, a baby should definitely not be named after a person who died too early. Otherwise, the child may repeat this fate.
Therefore, it is not a good idea to name a boy after a father who passed away before his son was born.
In addition, it is not advisable to give a child the name of a deceased brother or sister.
As for the names of deceased grandparents, there is no such strict prohibition.
If a mother or father really wants to name the baby after their parent, then this can be done. But if there is even the slightest uncertainty, then the idea should be abandoned.
