Question
Hello, I have a daughter born, and I wanted to ask: I want to name her Devorah Sarah after my grandmother, but my mother-in-law's name is Sarah Atara, and she is alive. Can I name her this way, or is it considered the same name?
Answer
Hello
Although there is room to discuss whether a name given with another name is considered the same name or not, the practice is simply not to name even when there is an additional name.
