first, i am ashkenazi.
I am insulted that you (you know who you are) refer to our minhag
as myopia.
second. at least two posts said that sefardim never name after a living parent. Oh really. I was personnaly acquanted with a boy named after his father and looking forward to growing up and naming his son after himself.
Would apreciate some clarification. perhaps this varies in different communities.
third. I am utterly disgusted at the tone of some posters.
and last, the ashkenazi MINHAG is not claimed to be HALACHA.
