Help honoring my Mom <3

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Everyone!

We are having a little darling boy and would like to use his middle name to honor my late mother, [name_f]Mayra[/name_f]. Unfortunately she truly disliked her middle name [name_f]Marcela[/name_f] otherwise we would consider Marcel/Marcellus/Marceau. So far all we can come up with is [name_m]Marius[/name_m] but I’m not completely sold on it.

Thank you for your help!

Does she have a middle or maiden name you could utilize instead?

[name_f]Mayra[/name_f] means “beloved” and [name_f]Marcela[/name_f] means “young warrior” so with that in mind here are some names with same/similar meanings and/or starting with “M” to honor her.

[name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Myles[/name_m]

[name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_m]Zane[/name_m]

[name_m]Duncan[/name_m] [name_u]Milo[/name_u]

[name_m]Kevin[/name_m] [name_u]Milo[/name_u]

[name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]

[name_u]Callan[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]

[name_u]Dawson[/name_u] [name_u]Micah[/name_u]

[name_m]Kane[/name_m] [name_u]Micah[/name_u]

[name_u]Connery[/name_u] [name_u]Merritt[/name_u]

She unfortunately disliked her middle name, [name_f]Marcela[/name_f]. Her maiden surname was Spanish and rather long… ending in “ez”. Can’t think of any names that would be similar.

Why not use the letters of her names and rearrange them to one that you like. There are apparently 1546 options…
These are a few I liked but you could have a look at the other options if none suited you.

[name_u]Ray[/name_u]
[name_u]Ace[/name_u]
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]
[name_u]Amal[/name_u]
[name_m]Mac[/name_m]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u]
Calam
Lamell
Lamere
Mallee

[name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favourite is Mallee which is a type of tree where I’m from or [name_u]Marley[/name_u] which is a more established name.

All the best!

With both her first and middle name starting with an M, I would say any M name would work. I also like the idea of using the meaning of [name_f]Mayra[/name_f], or going with Mayes.

What about using the meaning of [name_f]Mayra[/name_f] to honor your mom. Like an actual word in the meaning or a name with the same meaning.
