Way to go Dory!!!!!!!!! I don't think John Jr would name one son John and another Jonathon. I have heard in rare circumstances that if one child dies young, that a later child would be given the same name. This has happened in my Czech roots. Another possibility is if each parent came to a marriage with prior children and one would be from each side, and they all end up with the same last name.
