Taboo against naming the dead

Okay kiddo, let me explain to you why we don't use the names of people who have died.

You know how we feel sad when someone we know and love dies? Well, some people believe that naming the dead can make them feel even sadder, or it might even bring bad luck or make the dead person's spirit upset.

So, to avoid any hurt feelings or bad luck, some cultures or families have a tradition of not using the name of someone who has died. Instead, they might come up with nicknames or use terms like "grandma" or "uncle" to refer to them.

But not everyone believes this, and it's okay to use someone's name if it makes you feel better or if it's important to remember and honor them. It really depends on your own beliefs and culture.

Remember, it's important to be respectful and kind to those who have passed away, so choose what feels right to you and always show love and respect for those who have left us.
