Why “The great grandson of Husnu Sensoy” ?

One of the traditions in Turkey is to name the first kid of the family with the name of his/her grandparent/great grandparent’s name. It is also same for me. The name of my great grandfather (my father’s father’s father) was Husnu Sensoy, just like me 🙂

So I’ve grown up and become a computer science student. And I realized that there was a very strong recursion in this trandition:

Husnu Sensoy = The great grandson of Husnu Sensoy
