This puts in perspective the American Redditors blaming it on the stimuli they received in 2020. It's a much wider problem.

It's interesting to see that in their culture 10% of the boys shared their first name with their father to begin with. It's almost unheard of in my country and would probably be considered a bit egoistical to name your kid to honor yourself.

But it's quite common for kids to be named after the deceased, example if one of the parent has a dead parent or a sibling they name the kid after them.
