sounds a bit weird, but you still have respect him, pick another name if it avoids an argument

I agree with ceo. It would be one thing if your DH had dated the girl, but his friend?? What if you were namimg after a relative and it happened to be the same name. I wouldn't worry. I can hear the reluctance...before my daughter was born we highly considered the name "Leah". We really like the name, but I had two friends with that name who basically turned on me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use the name (we ran out of women to name after, and were choosing our own). Anyway, I decided it didn't matter because it wouldn't be like I was naming after THEM. (In the end we used a totally different name because the baby didn't really look like a Leah when she was born!)[/quote]

I never understood why children are given two names. If you like the name Adina, why not just give the name. Chana Rochel for example:
both are perfectly fine, wonderful names. But what has Chana got to do with Rochel? How do you take two Biblical figures and put them together into one person?

I understand if you're naming after someone with two names then it can't be helped, but how did this business with two names ever start? The next generation will be Yaakov Dovid Chaim Yitzchok after two grandfathers who were each named after 2 grandfathers.

True... it's a problem. But it's not new (Tosafos Yomtov had 4 names)...

I think it started with people being named for 2 or more people, and also with people giving both a Hebrew and Yiddish name (Zvi Hirsh).

Because of too many people to name after, I plan to give 3 names to my children. I don't know if the kids named after them will have the full name or if 3 kids will be named for 1 person, the parents will do what they think is good, as I will do...

One name is becoming rare today where I live (the norm would be 2 I think, but 3 isn't rare, I have heard the mohel is surprised when there's only one name), because of the lower fertility rate and the Shoah (= many people to name after). But I wouldn't create a combo just because I liked it either.

I agree with the above, why is it like a LAW that you have to give your kids two names? Like it doesn't sound right if they don't have a middle name... its strange to me.

Could it be cultural? In America people seem to have two names, so Jews do the same. In France, the most common is 3 names, so Jews do it (unless they give 1 or 2 secular names and 2 or 1 Jewish name). In countries where people have only one name, maybe Jews try to just have one...?

One of the reasons why people call by two names is because they want to call the child after someone who passed away at a young age or under unusual circumstances. One of my children who has two names is for that reason.

One boy I know is called Baruch Mordechai, he was born on Purim and everyone should know it!

Sometimes the reason for calling a child two names is because each of the parents has a name that they like and they do the double-name trick to compromise.

I don't know why ppl give one name vs. 2 or 3 or 4..

My brother is named Yoel Avraham.. Yoel is after the satmar rabbi and Avraham is after my grandfather.. he wanted him to be named after both ppl I guess.

We give middle names because:

1. Helps to tell kids apart is first and last name are common.
2. Allows you to name after a relative and still use a name you like.
3. Gives an option if a name turns out to be unpopular later. [Believe it or not, my grandmother had an uncle named Adolf - yuck.]

lol
A VERY common Jewish name before ww2! It stands for Aharon or Avraham most of the time. My dh also has a great grand uncle or something named Adolf, and a cousin named Benito (Baruch). LOL

This Adolf has a grandchild named after him (goes by Fofo, not Adolf), born after WW2! The parents really wanted to keep the name apparently!!

Until it comes to names of famous Rabbanim who have a double name and all their talmidim have a child who is called that double name. Like a classroom full of Avraham Yitzchaks and Tzvi Yehudas (as in Rav Kook's followers, with no offense meant).
