       @nalvolzipcpi @Rasp Well that just sounds boring.At least the reference bit adds something to it, no need to call a name something else just because they're dead.

       @Paradox @Rasp There's a bit more to it when you look at the page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronym )Different cultures have different ways of referring to, regarding and honoring the dead.The main example presented is the practice of naming new children after relatives who have died; that is, having a name only become available for naming a newborn in a family when it becomes a necronym

       @nalvolzipcpi Oh okay, so people used to care a lot more about the names of dead people.

       @Rasp so a collection, or book, compiling a list of such names would be the Necronomicon?

       @Rasp It's cool as hell, but why would you ever want to stop using your necronym?
