[Opinions] Re: Hulda

The emotions behind it make sense. I still think honoring should be for people you knew personally, but that's just how I look at it. If it's something you want to do, it doesn't matter what a bunch of strangers on the internet think.

Here's the thing:
I do see it as honoring people I know personally. I think it would mean more to my mother to have a granddaughter named after her grandmother than it would to have a grandchild named after her. Ditto for my dad - I know he'd find it much more meaningful to have a child named after his sister and his dad than himself. So I do it in part to honor relatives I know.
