Different areas/times/families had different naming conventions.
No general rule applies in every case. Babies are often named
for family members or baptismal sponsors, and sometimes a pattern
can be found.
Often a person does not go by his first given name, especially
if that first name is Johann or Maria. The name actually used
(termed the Rufname) is often denoted by an asterisk or by
underlining or bolding.

(and he traveled around the world). I need some advice, any advice, on how I could find a record of him being there or even any record of him being in the German Navy there. A genealogist that could help, or where the records might be housed. I did see on another post that some German records were destroyed in Berlin in 1945, but I don't know those details. I appreciate any comments. Thank you.
