Thanks for the post, I didn't know about the tradition behind naming. I'd guess there aren't too many families who get very far down the list these days. Still, back when infant mortality was higher I bet it was commonplace to use a lot of those options.
My first name is my mother's mother's father's last (great-grandfather), and my middle name is my mother's mother's mother's (great-grandmother) maiden. Both of those names were lost in my generation due to lack of male offspring, so I got them. My full name is a little unusual and combersome as a result, but I like it, and I like the tie to my family that it represents.
