But really - when people in the real world have children, do they really
name them after somebody they know, or do they just pick their favourite
names??? Can the WW not do the same? Particularly if the children seem
likely to spend a lot of time in the muggle world (viz. Ron's driving
lessons, and their muggle grandparents, now safely restored to the UK)

Well, lets see.  One of my cousins is named Samuel, after his father, Sam,
but called Andy because his mother found calling two people in the house Sam
was confusing. Anderson was her maiden name so she called him Andy. A friend
of mine is a Colgate (yep from the toothpaste family) and her second son's
middle name is Colgate. I also have friends who are naming all of their
children after friends and relatives. Their oldest is David Rosario, after a
friend of the family and his paternal grandfather. The second is Madison
Rosario also after a family friend and the same paternal grandfather.  I
have been told that all the kids they have will have the middle name
Rosario.  Its a family tradition.  So it does still happen, to varying
degrees.
