I’d like to honor my grandmother who recently passed. Her name was [name_f]Janice[/name_f]. However I feel like that name is dated. Any suggestions?
TIA😊

[name_f]Janice[/name_f] is a variant of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (which is a variant of John) so I would say [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or any of its variants would work…
[name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Janessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Jana[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Janet[/name_f] is ripe for a comback!

[name_f]Joana[/name_f]
[name_f]Jeanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] (from the meaning and ending)
[name_u]Jae[/name_u]

[name_u]Jessie[/name_u]

Certainly [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_u]Jay[/name_u], maybe [name_f]Anise[/name_f] / Annes (both pronounced ANN-iss) as well. 
If you liked [name_f]Alice[/name_f] as a middle name, you could do a J first name with [name_f]Alice[/name_f], e.g. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] giving you the start and ending letters of [name_f]Janice[/name_f]. It’s hard to lose a grandparent and I’m very sorry for your loss.

Although [name_f]Janice[/name_f] is not common I think it would be cute paired with strong beautiful middle name. Suggestions:
[name_f]Janice[/name_f] [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] (Jada)
[name_f]Janice[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] (Jaicy)
[name_f]Janice[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] (Jada)
[name_f]Janice[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] (Janie)
[name_f]Janice[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] (Jacky)

[name_f]Janie[/name_f] could be really cute! And then you have every letter from [name_f]Janice[/name_f] but the C.

And the list goes on.
But my favorite way of honoring anyone is using the real name, but putting it in the middle. It makes a dated name rather charming. (I’ve done it with two kids and am about to do it with a third.)
