      reusing a forename was quite common in former times in Scotland. On OH's side, one couple had 5 Margarets before one of them survived

        My (Scottish) OH's great grandfather had the same name as his deceased elder brother. My (English) grandfather had the same first name as his elder brother who died the next quarter.
