not so fast. I was named (Hebrew name I admit) for one of my mother's uncles. But my English name is derived from that.

In the event since I'm a guy I was named for my maternal gradfather, but had I been born female I would have been given a name unrelated to any deceased relative just because my parents liked the name.
