G'day, I didn't see a reply to your question so am sending

naming patterns which I have used successfully on Welsh family names.
Perhaps they should be called Celtic Naming Patterns!!
First son named after father's father.

First daughter named after the mother's mother.
Second daughter named after father's mother
Some name the next children after themselves and some after the parents
elder brothers and sisters. Hope these guidelines help.
