Boxer George Forman named all of his sons, George. Is there a tradition anywhere of children all being given the first name of a parent?

Hello, George Foreman actually wrote a book to share the name George and his theory behind it.I've included a link here for you:

Barnes & Noble.com - Let George Do It! - George Foreman - Hardcover

George said he wanted his children to know who their father was since he found out he was an illegitimate child.

There is an excellent piece here on George and his family.

George Foreman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are obligatory family traditions with patterns all over the world and one of them is "same name tradition" .There is even one Scottish Island where all names of the inhabitants are the same.

Behind the Name - the Etymology and History of First Names

An excellent website above . Enjoy!

Also, the question is not about George Forman. He simply prompted the question:
I'll re-phrase it; Is there a tradition anywhere of giving all your children your first name
