Naming Patterns of SCOTTISH people
http://www.fairacre.demon.co.uk/Celtic/Scotland.htm
Until as recently as the 19th century it was common for Scots to follow a
conventional pattern of naming a child after various relatives. When a chi=
ld
died in infancy, the name was often re-used for the next baby. A surviving
child could have the same name as a half-brother or sister if one parent h=
ad
re-married.
Child Named after this relative
Eldest son Paternal grandfather
Second son Maternal grandfather
Third son Father
Eldest daughter Maternal grandmother
Second daughter Paternal grandmother
Third daughter Mother
Others Aunts and Uncles
