Which leads me to think that “roundabout” seems like such a quirky English way to refer to what growing up in North Jersey I just called a “circle”.

Did not know this but also never heard anyone call my dad Chip.

Farther down the stream: T-something is a way to indicate being named after a parent in creole Louisiana. T standing for “petit” Like father Bob and son T-Bob
Seeing Chip Carter's beautiful eulogy is reminding me of a fancy-people thing that I never learned until well into adulthood.

Chip is a nickname for a guy named after his dad.
Skip is a nickname for a guy named after his grandfather.
Trip is a nickname for a guy named after his dad AND grandfather.
