The
Chasam Sofer (Shu”t E.H. 2 : 18) writes
that We don’t find Yaakov to be called
by both names at the same time.
We
also don’t find in all the names of Tanach, Shas and early Poskim*, someone to
be called by two names.
Naming someone with two
names is a new phenomenon that didn’t exist in the olden days
Harav
Izak (Yitzchok) Ausband zt"l (R.Y. Telz) was
considering
naming
his son after his
Shver Harav Avraham Yitzchok Bloch H.Y.D.
He
had a חקירה Someone with two names is it
1)
one single name made up with two words in it.
2) two single names.
If 1)
is correct then he can name his son " Avraham Yitzchok "
which
is a completely different name than his own name " Yitzchok".
If 2)
is correct then he can't name his son Avraham Yitzchok
which
are two names and one of them is Yitzchok.
(same
as his)
R.
Izak asked Harav Eliezer Silver zt"l who answered him
that
1) is correct and a person with two names has a completely
different
name than the person with one name.
His proof was from the Pasuk (Bamidbar
32:42) ונבח הלך וילכד -
Novach named the city Novach after
his -ויקרא לה נבח בשמו
(own)name.
In
the previous Pasuk when Yair b. Menashe named the villages
because he had
בשמו it
doesn't say it was named
חות יאיר
one
name, יאיר and called it two names(חות יאיר)
that
is not בשמו (his name)
As
far as I know Harav Avraham Ausband shlita (R.Y. Riverdale)
is
not named Avraham Yitzchok even though R. Eliezer Silver
Paskened that
his father R.Yitzchok can name his son
Avraham Yitzchok.
*There
is a Bal Hatosfos named Yaakov Yisrael (Tosfos Chulin 112a dh Hani)
