Help[Opinions] Re: ditto (m)
in reply to a message by Ludwig
but I am interested :)
Most of those family names I'd consider for honoring I've chosen because to me they represent not so much the person individually, but the relationships within that whole family. Like, I never met my maternal grandmother but I've ALWAYS wished that I had. No, I don't know that much about her personally but I know that my mother and grandfather really loved her and she is what connects us all - the "catalyst" so to speak - so using her name is sort of a way for me to honor all three of them, in addition to my aunts, whom I'm also close with

I love that - 'catalyst.' I feel the exact same way.
