Lisa:

Well, my kids are David Andrew, Jr., named after his father; Alexa Rae, 
middle name after my huband's grandma; and Amy Catherine, middle name 
after my mother.  First names are otherwise those I like.  However, I 
have a friend whose family only uses family names when naming their 
children.  Most of my friends don't take family names into 
consideration at all.

I think the point of contention here is that the Potter children 
had "significant" names, and Bill & Fleur's child is Victoire 
("victory" in French), so it's assumed that Rose & Hugo are namesakes, 
as well.  My guess is that these are Hermione's parents' names, if they 
are indeed namesakes.
