How Hebrew names are chosen

Jewish naming splits along a line that surprises people who assume one custom: Ashkenazi families, from central and eastern Europe, avoid naming a child after a living relative and name instead for the dead, often a grandparent, sometimes only matching the initial letter. Sephardi families, tracing to Spain, Portugal and North Africa, do the opposite and name for living grandparents — frequently in a set order, the first son for his father's father, the first daughter for his father's mother. A boy's Hebrew name is announced at the brit milah on the eighth day, a girl's at a naming in synagogue. Once it has been announced the name is treated as fixed. The reasoning offered for naming after the dead is that it keeps the name in use and ties the child's soul to the person remembered; it is custom rather than religious law.
