That's especially true with Welsh names. The son took his father's first name as his surname. So, there are only so many variables like John Thomas, Thomas Benjamin, Benjamin Edward, Edward Richard, etc etc. Other nationalities used mother's maiden name as the child's middle name.

It's fairly simply with English & Irish family trees because they used centuries-old naming pattern: 1st boy named after father's father; 1st girl named after mother's mother; 2nd boy after mother's father; 2nd girl after father's mother; then brothers & sisters starting with oldest.
