For little Edward Arlo Butler, the choice of name was something of a formality.
Some 87 days after his grandfather, Eddie Butler, sadly died in his sleep at the age of 65 during a walking expedition for charity in Peru, Edward Arlo arrived into the world sharing that famous name. The loss of Butler in September was felt far and wide, well beyond the constraints of the rugby world.
He was the bardic voice of the Six Nations, with his effortlessly poetic nature making him the go-to narrator for any montage - be it a lyrical summation of the Olympics to a perfectly-pitched tribute to the Queen. He was also a Wales captain, a Lion, a historian, a journalist, an author and a passionate supporter of Welsh independence - a man who for whom a word, be it written or spoken, was rarely wasted.
