Honor Names

I really love honor names, but I’m struggling to find names that aren’t too direct but are still related. Here are the people I’d love to honor-

[name_f]Kara[/name_f]
[name_m]Tony[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_f]Sharon[/name_f]
[name_f]Shawna[/name_f]

Girls:
[name_f]Karaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Antoinette[/name_f] nn “Toni”
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], maybe relating to laughter since it’s in Isaac’s meaning
[name_f]Sharona[/name_f]? You could also do anything nature-y to go with its meaning or [name_f]Shari[/name_f] possibly?
I don’t have one for [name_f]Shawna[/name_f] other than maybe [name_f]Shae[/name_f]? [name_f]Charity[/name_f]?

Boys:
For [name_f]Kara[/name_f], I’d go a little obscure since “Cara” means “face” maybe go with something meaning beautiful (Bonita) or otherwise.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Antonio[/name_m], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] maybe?
[name_m]Shane[/name_m]?
[name_m]Shawn[/name_m] is the obvious one

[name_f]Kara[/name_f] - I’ve often considered this to honor my mom (her name is similar), so I wonder if other similar names might work? [name_f]Carys[/name_f], Ciaran/Kieran/Ciar/Ciara/Kira, [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] or [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], etc.?

[name_m]Tony[/name_m] - so many lovely [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] variants: [name_m]Anton[/name_m], [name_m]Antoine[/name_m], [name_m]Antonin[/name_m], [name_f]Antonina[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f], [name_f]Antonella[/name_f], [name_m]Antony[/name_m]! I’m having a moment with [name_m]Anton[/name_m] myself lately.

[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - don’t have many ideas for this, love [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] as it is. But maybe [name_m]Ike[/name_m], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], Zachary/Zachariah, [name_m]Isidore[/name_m], etc.?

[name_f]Sharon[/name_f] - maybe something with the [name_m]Ron[/name_m] sound, like [name_f]Verona[/name_f] or [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] or [name_f]Sharona[/name_f], or maybe Simone/Simona? Big [name_f]Simona[/name_f] fan, so I would make her work :joy::joy:

[name_f]Shawna[/name_f] - I would go [name_f]Siana[/name_f] or maybe another [name_m]John[/name_m] variant - [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] or [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m], [name_m]Johannes[/name_m] or [name_m]Hans[/name_m] or [name_m]Hanno[/name_m] or [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_m]Eoin[/name_m] or [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] (which I sort of think are variants of [name_m]John[/name_m] but I am probably wrong lol), [name_m]Yochanan[/name_m], [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], [name_f]Jean[/name_f] (or something like Jean-Pierre), [name_m]João[/name_m], [name_m]Ivan[/name_m], [name_m]Evan[/name_m], [name_m]Yannick[/name_m], [name_m]Yanni[/name_m], [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_m]Ianto[/name_m], [name_m]Jovan[/name_m], [name_m]Jowan[/name_m], [name_m]Jan[/name_m], [name_f]Zhanna[/name_f], [name_f]Jana[/name_f], [name_f]Ivana[/name_f], [name_f]Janina[/name_f]?

Good luck!

Related to Sharon’s meaning, you could use [name_f]Prairie[/name_f], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Savannah[/name_f], Zavanna, [name_f]Blair[/name_f], [name_f]Vega[/name_f].
If you like surnamey options then some plains-related meanings are found in -
Crofton
[name_f]Hadley[/name_f]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Tye[/name_m]

I love the previous suggestion of [name_f]Shari[/name_f] :heart:
