Naming Practices of our Davenports

Did the children of Wm & Comfort's names follow any of the naming patterns??
John - first son, possibly could be Wm's fathers name
Mary - first daughter, possibly could be Wm's mothers name
Agnes - second daughter ?? from Comfort's line??
Thomas - second son, ?? from Comfort's line??
George - ??
Wm - after the father
Sarah - after the mother "Sarah Comfort Fisher"
Margaret - ??

Did any of these names/naming patterns continue? Can these patterns give us any hints?
