What's REALLY in a Name?

So, I had a post earlier this year that explained Caleb's name.  That post was named "What's in a Name?".  In that post, I explained how we chose Caleb's name in part due to the correlation of Caleb to Joshua in the Old Testament.  I also explained how his middle, James name was chosen (practically) at random.  Well, so we thought at least.

I recently got into genealogy.  This was sparked by both the new show on NBC "Who do you think you are" and the birth of our first son.  I have been thinking a lot of legacy.  In case you didn't know, I am the only one bearing the Black name for some generations.  I was not sure how far back, but the idea of legacy caused me to begin tapping into the abundant resources online to find out about our family.  Pertaining to carrying on the Black name, I am the only one going back 4 generations at least.  I still have to trace distant cousins to see how many of us are carrying the torch.  As for my other discovery...  We thought Caleb's middle name of James was completely random.  However, I found that starting 5 generations ago, there were at least 4 generations of James' in my Black family lineage!  I have noticed in my family studies that it was very common for children to receive at least part of their name from a family name.  We thought this occurrence was intriguing.  We pray that Caleb carry the Black family legacy with pride.
