I'm fine with first born sons being named after their fathers--and especially in Billy's case, it made sense that he would want to pass on his father's name. (I can't think of another son named after the father after A-M and Bill....I guess there's Phillip and Harley's kid Alan Zachary, but he was just Zach. I must be forgetting someone.)

I am humbly grateful however, we were never stuck with anyone naming their daughter after "dead" Reva. That's a step too far.

You're lucky you never watched EastEnders, where characters regularly name their kids after dead relatives even in the most contrived of ways, like when a teen mother named her daughter Peggy after a grandmother she had barely even known for most of her life. (the show, a few years later, also named a nightclub after Peggy and had a huge portrait of her on the wall)
