Honoring Maura

Girl Names
1

I would like to honor [name_f]Maura[/name_f] in a middle name spot, but I don’t feel it flows well with most of my first name choices. Can anyone suggest a name combo using or inspired by names on my list that:

    • Uses [name_f]Maura[/name_f] as a middle
      or
    • Uses a name inspired by [name_f]Maura[/name_f] in either first or middle spot

These are my current favorite name combos. I love vintage and nature names that aren’t too frilly. I’d especially love it if anyone could honor [name_f]Maura[/name_f] with [name_f]Lark[/name_f] as a first name. Thanks guys! :smiley:

[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] ("[name_f]Silvie[/name_f]")
[name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u]
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]

awww thanks for honoring [name_f]Maura[/name_f]! What’s wrong with [name_f]Maura[/name_f] as a first name? I like [name_f]Maura[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] better than [name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f], though. [name_f]Maura[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] is just adorable! [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] IT!

I think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], in your signature, honors [name_f]Maura[/name_f] perfectly. There’s also {[name_f]Lark[/name_f]/[name_f]Fern[/name_f]/[name_f]Oona[/name_f]} [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], {[name_f]Fern[/name_f]/[name_f]Willa[/name_f]/[name_f]Oona[/name_f]} [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], and {[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]/[name_f]Oona[/name_f]} [name_f]Margot[/name_f].

[name_f]Lark[/name_f] Amaura/Amora
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] Amorette
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] Amor/Amour/Amore
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]

Or, you could do a double middle name…

[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f] [name_f]Ismay[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] Amora
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Nora[/name_f] kinda honours [name_f]Maura[/name_f] already

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Prairie[/name_u] Amour
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]

[name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] Amour
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Maura[/name_f]

I do love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], that’s very pretty~ but I gotta be biased, [name_f]Maura[/name_f] is a lovely name, so lovely we have three Mauras in my family

Thanks for the help, everyone! I’ll have to take some time to think about your suggestions. :slight_smile:

If you wanted to go with it as a first name [name_f]Maura[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] or [name_f]Maura[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] would use names in your list and flow well. Also, if you wanted to honor a [name_f]Maura[/name_f] but add your own twist you could always use [name_f]Moira[/name_f] - its a similar name but definitely has its own flare.

I would use [name_f]Maura[/name_f] as the first name.

You could try a different name with the same sound (e.g., [name_f]Maureen[/name_f]), same meaning (some Googling tells me that [name_f]Maura[/name_f] is a variant spelling of [name_f]Maire[/name_f], which is [name_f]Mary[/name_f] in Irish, so you could try any of the [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-derived names), or same initial.
