Hi everyone!
I know Iāve posted about this several times, but I am determined to find the perfect way to honor my late maternal grandma with a future daughterās name. Her name was Ma.ry, middle name Elizabeth. Iāve gathered a list of names that remind me of her in one way or another with short descriptions of why I think of her when I hear these names.
If you donāt mind, Iād love to hear your thoughts on these and any suggestions you may have. What should I add or remove?
Molly (double honor for my grandma and my mom)
Eliza (a variant of our shared middle name, Elizabeth)
Faith (Grandmaās Faith was the most important thing in her life)
Vera
Evangeline or just Evie (Grandma could always find something good in each day, and was such a positive and loving presence in othersā lives and always made the most out of life)
Aurelia (because one of her favorite colors was yellow)
Frankie (She was a friend to all who knew her and was fiercely strong and independent )
Charlotte or Charlie (My mom has a cousin named Charlotte, but Iāve only met her once or twice very briefly. Is This weird? Iām also having trouble deciding between Charlotte and Frankie, so the are both here!)
Lola (a fun take on Mary)
Elena (Does anyone know the German pronunciation of this? My grandma was German, so I always thought it would be fun to use a German name someday!)
Lucy (she was such a positive influence and a light in my life)
Ellie
Anna (Grandma gave everyone such grace and every bit of love she had inside her. It was, and continues to be such a gift in my life)
Annika
Willow (Grandma was one of the strongest people Iāve ever known.)
Thea (She showed me Godās faithfulness and the love He has for me everyday)
Eliana (This name reminds me of how much she prayed for me)
Another option I will likely to connect the name to Grandma even more is to use Elizabeth as the middle name, unless I choose Eliza.
Any feedback you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!
