I’ve always wanted to name my child after my grand mother, but only had a son. This is my last child, and I am afraid this one will be a boy as well. I would still like to name my child after my grandma, but I’m having a hard time thinking of names. I want a boys name that has a same sound, most of the letters in her name or a derivative. I am not very good with word puzzles. I want to avoid any -an -in -on (ie [name_u]Mason[/name_u]) ending names. Any suggestions?
I have:
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
My grandmother’s name is [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] & [name_m]Eames[/name_m] use many letters from her full name, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. I think with all the puzzling though, it does take away from using the important namesake, to a point that it gets way too obscure from the name itself.
I think your best bet for a namesake that is still obviously a namesake, is to use a name beginning with [name_f]El[/name_f]-. Your [name_m]Eli[/name_m] would be fantastic, also perhaps [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] or [name_u]Elisha[/name_u], the latter containing the S too which is great. You could also use her initials E.M. to honor her that way, using any E or M name you like.
I didn’t think about E and M initials. I’m having a hard time because I’m not liking any [name_f]El[/name_f] boys names. Also, a lot of the names I’m finding it seems they are extremely popular. I might look up [name_f]Em[/name_f] starting names too. Thanks for the suggestions.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] reminds me of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
Another option is to use [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]'s maiden name as the child’s middle name.
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] is an anagram of [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] (minus the last 3 letters) & [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is a diminutive of [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f].
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_u]Max[/name_u]?
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] is the boy’s name that I feel is closest to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. And [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_u]Max[/name_u] would be a combo that matches [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] fairly closely.
If you don’t like [name_u]Elias[/name_u], I think any combo of a 5 letter E name and a 3 letter M name would be a nice connection.
