Hi,

I was wondering about naming after family members. Does your family follow any traditions?

My first name "Lisa" is named after my grandmother (father's mother) who was named Bessie. I never met her as she passed before I was born. My middle name "Pearl" is named after my other grandmother (mother's mother) who has been my only living grandparent, 91 years old!

In Judaism, usually we don't name children after living beings. I can't answer why my parent's decided to break from this as my sisters are only named after my grandparents who have passed, but I am very happy with my names.

Thanks!
