I guess it depends on the era they were born, but being from Mobile, AL that was founded by French and French Canadian's , I'm a little familiar with some of the naming patterns.Early French, and later Spanish that controled Mobile, were Catholic's.Early christening records reflect that the child usually named after one of the God parents at christening while still an infant.They also named after mother or father though, aunt and uncles etc...so who knows.
