A couple of notes on the "son of" thing.
*The common Gaelic surname Prefixes "Mac" and "Mc" also mean "son of"
*Look back at history. The viking "Eric the Red" (he had a red beard and red hair) who discoved Greenland later had a son, Leif ERICSON, who also went on to be a leader. I think that both of these names are good examples of what was previously mentioned.
