Honoring a Shelly

I need boys/girls names to honor my cousin [name_u]Shelly[/name_u]. Her full name was [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f] if that helps but she hated it and always went by [name_u]Shelly[/name_u]. I already have [name_u]Shai[/name_u] on my list for boys, and I’m just going to say right now that I really do not like the name [name_u]Sheldon[/name_u].

Any ideas?

Shai is cool!

Maybe another -chelle name, like [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f].

Shelby and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] have similar sounds. [name_u]Shea[/name_u] (or [name_u]Shay[/name_u]) too—I like [name_u]Shea[/name_u] and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] for a boy or a girl.

Ronan and [name_f]Elle[/name_f] came to mind. Anything that means “meadow” would work too because that’s the meaning of [name_u]Shelly[/name_u].

Would her birth month work for you? Perhaps [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]January[/name_u], [name_f]April[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f]… Or possibly her birth stone or flower? There’s also perhaps her favourite vacation spot, a hobby, or something relating to her occupation. If this idea feels usable to you we could brainstorm names relating to them.

[name_f]Rochelle[/name_f] means little rock and [name_u]Shelly[/name_u] means clearing on a bank; who is like god; ewe; little rock, so anything that has a similar meaning would work. Also, some names I’ve found sound similar as well.

Shell would actually be adorable! Too close for you?

Chelsea hasn’t been mentioned yet. I love @WhiteGardenia’s suggestion.

I like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Shane[/name_u], [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] (I think that’s @ceryle, @fearlessfirefly, @anon25197097, and @shells15)

@WhiteGardenia and @Estrela, she lived in Oregon and was a teacher. Her birthday was in [name_u]November[/name_u]. She liked cats? I was already thinking [name_m]Lev[/name_m] as a Hebrew name for whatever honor name I go with because [name_m]Lev[/name_m] means heart and she was one of the first people to have the heart surgery that I had to have, so maybe more names with heart or medicine related meanings? [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] is also already on my list.

Shane [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and also thought of [name_u]Shaun[/name_u] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]?
I’m trying to think of more girls names.

Reagan/Orion/Oriana - after Oregan
Nova or Ember - after November (maybe Winter?)
Hart - similar to heart
Names with the nickname Cat - Catherine, Caterina/e, Catia/Katia, Catarina/Catharina, Cathleen/Kathleen,…
If she’s born in November is she a Scorpio or a Sagittarius?

I’ll be back for more suggestions :blush::wink:

One of my cousins is named [name_u]Sean[/name_u] so I can’t use [name_u]Shaun[/name_u] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] but I like [name_u]Shane[/name_u] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]!

@hanna_walker96 I like [name_f]Helen[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]!

@Estrela she was a scorpio :slight_smile:. [name_u]Ember[/name_u] is one of my guilty pleasures too

The Hebrew name [name_f]Liat[/name_f] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u]-AHT) literally means “you are mine,” and [name_u]Shelly[/name_u] in Hebrew actually means mine… The name [name_f]Libi[/name_f] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u]-bee) or means “my heart.”
