My 7 months old grandson has very old fashioned first name (some story behind the name but not for a relative) but a middle name is for my sons in law grandpa who passed away during my daughter’s pregnancy. Both names are very old fashioned old men names but we love it. I won’t post here but if anyone wants to know I’ll PM you hahah
And if my daughter has a baby girl (if it happens for them to have a second kid), it will be given my moms name. Very uncommon in the US. Also kind of old fashioned.

There was a tante Blemah whose name did not get recycled. :-)
We also used the first letter of the names to name the baby “after” them.
