Question
Should we name a newborn girl with two names, one after the grandmother and another just because the grandmother's name is less common, or is it better to give only one name that the wife likes?
Answer
Hello
Although adding a name makes it not exactly the same as the grandmother's name, there is still significance in naming after the grandmother, as it shows respect to the parents who name after their own parents.
