Yes, MAfan, this is very interesting, and it seems to me that in this family it is custom, to transmit to all children the first christian name of their father. All this reminds me also of the great poet Rainer MARIA Rilke...."Die Blätter fallen, fallen wie von weit, als welkten in den Himmeln ferne Gärten......"

MAfan, do you mean the poem of Rainer Maria Rilke? Let me try: "The leaves are falling, falling as from far, as if above in heaven were fading distant gardens......"...........

You are welcome, you should read the whole poem, even if you do not understand all the german, because the poem is beautiful.
