I am mixed...I like the thought of not having your child be one of 4 Sara's in there class, but I also think some people go overboard with the spellings!

As for people passing names on...
John Adam Smith I, John Adam Smith II, etc......

My birth name is Angela, My grandmother's name is also Angela, but we have different middle names, we also happen to (at one point) live next door to eachother. So.... we would ALWAYS get each other's mail, get eachothers phone calls.... and we went to the same drug store to get our perscriptions. Well...when ever I would go there I would make SUPER sure I gave the people my address and my middle int to make sure I wasn't getting pills under my grandmothers name. Do you belive they once gave me my birthcontrol pills under her name!!! Why would a 80 year old woman need birthcontrol pills!!!!
As funny as that was, one day it could have caused a problem.
I think passing names on is a wonderful thing, but people need to pay closer attention!
