Jean/Gene/Jene vs. Way to honor grandpa?

Patrick Alexander Schaffer is the name we decided on for our son. My grandpa recently became very ill and has been diagnosed with cancer. Everyone in my family feels we should include his name into the baby’s name some how. Grandpas name is Eugene but he goes by Gene. I really don’t like that name for a guy especially with the G. His initials would be PAGS which I don’t like... Would it be weird if I spelled Gene either JENE or JEAN for a boy? Jean spelled this way is actually my, my sister, my mother, and my grandmothers middle names...I would much prefer his initials be PAJS if I have to have 2 middle names. What should I do? I don’t want to hurt my family. Any ideas? Thanks for your time. By they way I will NOT use Eugene...my grandpa can’t even stand his own name he has always gone by Gene.

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
