Summary/Abstract: The article provides an analysis of names, which are used by a small group of family members. The author speaks about one extended family. Grandfather and grandmother are in the head of the family. They give some information about the family life and family history to all members in minor place-names, furniture-names, electric machine-names, etc. The name creator chooses the words from a special level of the language. Since the grand parents speak dialect, the most names have also some dialectal traits.
