Ah! Many ancient peoples used that form of naming, such as the Norsemen. Surely you've heard of Leif Eriksson? He was Leif, son of Erik. In response to your question, I love that people are trying to get back to their roots by doing that, but it makes it very difficult to trace ancestry if the line is not updated by every generation.
