Parents refuse to name their baby 'Henry' after his paternal grandfather, grandmother berates them for not following family tradition of naming male heirs 'James' or 'Henry': 'She said I was breaking a tradition that went back hundreds of years'

• The in-laws in this story are wild about their familial naming traditions. They alternate the first names “James” and “Henry” for the first-born sons of each generation, which doesn't leave much room for creativity. One of those Jameses and his wife decided enough was enough, causing a big stink within the family.
