Boy Names to Honor My Mom

I would love to honor both my mom and my dad with my choice of a boys name, but I need some help. Her name is [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], middle name is [name_f]Sue[/name_f]. Very feminine names. [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] means stranger. foreigner and [name_f]Sue[/name_f] has a feminine meaning -lily. She was born in [name_u]August[/name_u] so I had once thought about [name_u]August[/name_u], but I cannot decide. The boys first name will be [name_u]Ricky[/name_u]. I have found [name_m]Gershom[/name_m] and [name_u]Wallace[/name_u] mean stranger, but I am open to suggestions??

Ahh I love your ideas! Some of these are a bit bold, these were just what came to mind. Middle names for [name_u]Ricky[/name_u] I thought honored [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f], were

[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_m]Barney[/name_m] / [name_m]Barnes[/name_m]
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] / [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_u]Barra[/name_u] / [name_u]Barrie[/name_u] / [name_u]Barry[/name_u] / Barro
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_u]Robert[/name_u] (Barb from [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], and [name_m]Bob[/name_m] from Robert)
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_m]Barlow[/name_m]
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_m]Barron[/name_m]

[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] for [name_f]Barbara[/name_f]
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_m]Steven[/name_m] for [name_f]Sue[/name_f]? maybe
[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] is also great!

That’s so sweet! Maybe Barxley or [name_m]Bartley[/name_m] would be a more manly name

[name_u]Blue[/name_u] would make a cool middle, with the B from [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] and the ue from [name_f]Sue[/name_f] :slightly_smiling_face:

[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_u]Blue[/name_u]

You could use [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Calla[/name_f] to honour a sue due to meaning.

I love the idea of honouring your mom ! I think [name_u]August[/name_u] is a cute and unexpected way to do that!!

I will also suggest [name_u]Leo[/name_u]

[name_u]Ricky[/name_u] [name_u]Leo[/name_u]

[name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_m]Crew[/name_m] / [name_m]Cru[/name_m]
Sual
[name_m]Subhan[/name_m]

Names that sound honour [name_f]Barbara[/name_f]

[name_u]Barrett[/name_u]
[name_m]Bartlett[/name_m]
[name_m]Babar[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
Barrack
[name_m]Boone[/name_m]
