[name_f]Honey[/name_f] is my guiltiest guilty pleasure name. It’s probably my favorite name on nun list right now. But would it be cruel to give it to a real little girl? Is it that out there, and are there any full names that make the diminutive [name_f]Honey[/name_f] work? (I can’t imagine an unrelated given name and the nickname [name_f]Honey[/name_f] would stick.)
I’ve known a [name_f]Honey[/name_f] and she wore it well!
It reminds me a bit of names like [name_f]Holly[/name_f], [name_u]Sunny[/name_u], [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_u]Connie[/name_u], [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] etc and i think it could work
Maybe:
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Honey[/name_f]’
[name_f]Honora[/name_f]/[name_f]Honoria[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Honey[/name_f]’
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Honey[/name_f]’
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Honey[/name_f]’
I think it could only work as a middle name
Really cute on a little girl but come on, she would outgrow that before she’s five. [name_m]Just[/name_m] think of how it looks on an adult
Can you imagine a CEO, lawyer, doctor etc. named [name_f]Honey[/name_f]?
Since you can use honey as nickname for literally any name, I think using it as a given name is ridiculous and unnecessary
I love the name [name_f]Honey[/name_f]! But I do think it would be better used as a nickname.
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] would be nice with the nn [name_f]Honey[/name_f]?
I can only see it as a term of endearment.
It feels overly familiar to me so I’m not fond of it on a real human. I would group it with other endearing monikers like Darling, [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_u]Angel[/name_u], [name_u]Baby[/name_u], [name_f]Dolly[/name_f], and so on.
It could work as a diminutive for [name_u]Hudson[/name_u], [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], [name_u]Chauncey[/name_u], [name_f]Shona[/name_f], [name_f]Shawney[/name_f], [name_u]Shannon[/name_u], [name_f]Sharon[/name_f], [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_u]Havana[/name_u], [name_u]Harley[/name_u], [name_u]Holland[/name_u], [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] or [name_f]Undine[/name_f].
My issue with [name_f]Honey[/name_f] is that it’s a term of endearment. I would not want my boss to call me [name_f]Honey[/name_f] (I understand the difference of it being my name but it still doesn’t fix the problem). It’s not that I think the name is unprofessional because I think the right person can pull off any name and make it professional, it’s just that in any other circumstance, a person in a position of power (like a boss or captain, etc) calling a woman “honey” would be completely inappropriate. So it seems weird to me, if that makes sense.
I suggest using the advanced search feature to look for girls names that start with H and contain an O to see if you find a full name you like for nn [name_f]Honey[/name_f]. I can only see it as a nn or middle.
I used to know an older woman named [name_f]Honey[/name_f], and it worked for her.
However, in today’s day in age, a girl/woman could feel demoralized by being called [name_f]Honey[/name_f] by every man/guy she meets.
I wouldn’t do it as a first. I’d happily use it as a middle.
[name_f]Melina[/name_f] or [name_f]Melita[/name_f] mean honey. You could call her honey as a nickname/term of endearment, but she could use [name_f]Melina[/name_f] outside the family.
It won’t age well
