[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys! I’m not expecting yet, but I decided to start a list of names I could use someday! (Boys and girls)
These are some names I would like to honor: [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_f]Megan[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_u]Stacy[/name_u] and [name_u]Cody[/name_u]. I wouldn’t use those exact names but something similar, I was thinking maybe [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] as a nod to [name_u]Ashley[/name_u].
Some of the names I like are: Gia, Nora, Beckett, Bennett, Harper, Theo, Jona and Loren.
Got any suggestions? Also, do you prefer one or two middle names?
[name_f]Ashlyn[/name_f], [name_f]Ashlan[/name_f], [name_f]Asha[/name_f], [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_f]Aisha[/name_f], [name_f]Aizah[/name_f], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_u]Ashby[/name_u], [name_u]Lee[/name_u] for [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]. They don’t all have the same meaning as [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] though except for [name_u]Ash[/name_u] and maybe [name_f]Ashlan[/name_f]. I like your idea of [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] though
[name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_f]Zandra[/name_f], [name_f]Sandra[/name_f], [name_u]Alexis[/name_u], [name_u]Lexus[/name_u], [name_u]Alexi[/name_u], [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]? for [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and [name_f]Eustacia[/name_f] are variations of [name_u]Stacy[/name_u]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Meg[/name_f], Margot, or [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] for [name_f]Megan[/name_f]. [name_f]Megan[/name_f] is a diminutive of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] which means [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
With numerous names on my list, 2 middles appears attractive so I can use up more names but I find double middles to be more difficult to flow well
One middle name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] partner has two middle names and some companies or utilities always miss one of his middle names off correspondence etc.
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u]-alexandra
[name_f]Anastacia[/name_f]- [name_u]Stacey[/name_u]
[name_u]Ashton[/name_u] to honour [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
I can’t think of any other alternatives for cody or [name_f]Megan[/name_f]
I found some names that might honor the ones you wrote, how about:
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u]:
[name_u]Ashby[/name_u]
[name_u]Ash[/name_u]
[name_f]Ashaley[/name_f]
[name_f]Ashalee[/name_f]
[name_f]Ashla[/name_f]
[name_m]Asheley[/name_m]
[name_m]Ashelie[/name_m]
Welcome to NB and sorry for any repeats since I haven’t entirely kept track of what’s already been suggested! Since I’m sure the best honor names have been exhausted I’ll aim to give some with a more abstract connection.
Ashley
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f] - because the meaning of [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] is listed as “dweller near the ash tree meadow”
[name_f]Cendrine[/name_f] or [name_f]Cendrillon[/name_f] - “little ashes”
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] or [name_f]Ensley[/name_f] - “one’s own meadow”
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] - “king’s meadow”
[name_f]Lea[/name_f] or [name_u]Lee[/name_u] - can mean “meadow”
Megan
Any variation of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or a name meaning [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] could work as a more abstract honor name.
[name_f]Margareta[/name_f]
[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] or [name_f]Margery[/name_f]
[name_f]Margarethe[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Gretchen[/name_f]
[name_f]Mairead[/name_f]
[name_u]Dara[/name_u] - “pearl of wisdom”
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f] - can mean “pearl”
Alexandra
Any variation of [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] or a name connecting to the idea of defense since it means “defending men”
[name_f]Alissandre[/name_f]
[name_f]Alessandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u]
[name_f]Alejandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Alessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Aminta[/name_f] or [name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Xandra[/name_f]
Stacy
Any variations or names meaning “resurrection.”
[name_f]Stasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Staska[/name_f]
[name_f]Tassia[/name_f]
(Maybe you could consider names having to do with rebirth? I know it’s a stretch but I’ll list a couple.)
[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], [name_f]Yara[/name_f], [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] all mean “butterfly”
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f], [name_f]Cerelia[/name_f], and [name_f]Laverne[/name_f] all have meanings relating to spring
[name_f]Idony[/name_f] - “renewal”
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] - “new day”
[name_f]Neoma[/name_f] - “new moon”
[name_f]Signe[/name_f] or [name_f]Signy[/name_f] - “new victory”
Cody
Since [name_u]Cody[/name_u] means “helpful” any name with such a meaning, like [name_u]Ezri[/name_u], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], or [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f]
I know these are a less clear connection in some cases but it seems soundalikes are well covered already!
