They did call him Al at one point, didn't they? Not much better, though.

Maybe Harry won out over Ginny by virtue of having *so* *many* dead people he wanted to name his kids after. ;)

I dunno, I always feel like giving someone the first name of a dead person is creepy, because names have such connotative power, especially when said child resembles the dead person. It's one thing to honor someone, and quite another to burden the namesake with that memory. Middle names are best, because they're not commonly used, but still say that the person's memory was honored. Does that make sense?
