Who are your people btw? I know of a few cultures who believe that traits of recently dead relatives are passed on to children born shortly after their physical death.

Yupik, we're coastal Eskimos in my family. We all get names when you are born, after someone who passed on before you. Like I got my great grandma's name, who she got from one before her so and so forth as long as we've had that naming convention -- who knows we might even have brought it here with us to Alaska.
I'll add more to this when I get home since it looks like people are having a serious discussion here.
