Please recreate mine and my husband’s grandmothers’ names for me and help me come up with cool ways to honor them!

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Maebelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Pauline[/name_f]
[name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]
Phoebe Jane

A couple I’ve come up with are [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Mauve[/name_f] for [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] and [name_u]Ember[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] for [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Maebelle[/name_f]. I’m curious to see what other Berries can create!

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you want the first name/middle name combos to be used together for a baby?

These are the names I don’t think need to be re-done because they’re already awesome: [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].

This is what I’d do…

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] - [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f] - [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Maebelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Pauline[/name_f] - [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Paulette[/name_f]
[name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u] - [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] - [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]

I agree about [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I love it as is. Unfortunately my last name starts with [name_m]MAN[/name_m] and I can just see a little [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] being ridiculed with “hairy man”. [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is really great as is too, but I actually have an angel baby named [name_f]Flora[/name_f], and while I don’t want to use [name_f]Flora[/name_f] exactly, I wouldn’t mind honoring her as well with [name_f]Florence[/name_f].

I really love [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] for [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] for [name_f]Maud[/name_f], and [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] for [name_f]Frances[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] would be close enough to [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]. My husband really dislikes [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but likes [name_f]Coraline[/name_f].

I’m not actually expecting ATM. I just had my baby girl, [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], in [name_u]March[/name_u]. But I’m always on the look out for new ways to honor family should we have another baby girl in a couple of years.

Thanks so much for your response!

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f] - [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - this is lovely, I wouldn’t change it
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Moriah[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Maebelle[/name_f] - [name_u]Ember[/name_u] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Pauline[/name_f] - [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - totally works
[name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u] - [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] or [name_f]Varya[/name_f] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] - [name_f]Faye[/name_f] [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]

I’m a fan of the contraction Marjane for [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f]… I would totally use the middle name, probably spelled [name_f]Maude[/name_f]. It reminds me of the amazing poem by [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m]! Or perhaps…[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Leanora[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f],or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] … [name_f]Maribel[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u], or [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f].
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f] … [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Elora[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] … [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Maebelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Esmae[/name_f], [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Maelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Pauline[/name_f] - [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] definitely works for a mashup of these two! [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u] - [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] Katriel, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Kerenza[/name_f], [name_f]Keira[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] - [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Mariette[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_f]Angeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_u]Delaney[/name_u], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u], [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] [name_u]Julianne[/name_u]
