Honoring Robert

General Name Discussion
1

Hello berries,

I need your expertise on unique ways to honor a [name]Robert[/name]. I have definitely always been my daddy’s little girl and it’s very important for me to find a way to honor him for a girl or a boy. The catch is that my future DH’s last name is an extremely common patronymic of [name]Robert[/name] so using the name or any of its obvious derivatives is not an option.

I have thought of ways of honoring him without specifically using his name, but I was just hoping y’all could point out some potential names I may have missed.

[name]TIA[/name]

(and FYI this is purely hypothetical at this point)

[name]Roan[/name]
[name]Rocco[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Rogen[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Roscoe[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
Pretty much any name that starts with [name]Ro[/name]- that’s all I can think of right now.

There’s [name]Roberta[/name], but not sure if that’s out because of the last name… I see the PP suggested “ro” names so I’ll give you some “ber” and “bert” names… yeah a bit cheesy but here goes:

[name]Albert[/name]
[name]Gilbert[/name]
[name]Bertram[/name]/[name]Bertrand[/name]
[name]Cuthbert[/name]

[name]Alberta[/name]/[name]Albertina[/name]
[name]Gilberta[/name]
[name]Bernice[/name]/[name]Berniece[/name]/[name]Berenice[/name]
[name]Bernadette[/name]

What is your father’s middle name? Could you use that to honour him instead? I even know of women who use their maiden names to honour their side of the family.

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately his middle name is unusable as it has some negative family connotations and he has all but gotten rid of it, and my last name is a long almost unpronounceable [name]German[/name] monstrosity and while I have come to love it I feel that it’s one of those names that just doesn’t translate well into the first or middle spot.

maybe names that have the same type of meaning

[name]Baer[/name]
[name]Albert[/name]
[name]Roderick[/name]
[name]Rupert[/name]
[name]Roald[/name]

[name]Alberta[/name]
[name]Albertina[/name]
[name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Bertha[/name]

What about [name]Robin[/name]?

Or [name]Bobbie[/name] as a MN?

7

Well, I don’t see an issue with using [name]Robert[/name] as it is. Great classic name. You could use it as a first or middle name.

A few international variations of [name]Robert[/name]: [name]Rupert[/name], [name]Roban[/name], [name]Rubert[/name], [name]Roberto[/name]… There are more but these are the ones that stood out to me as interesting :slight_smile:

Boy: [name]Bert[/name]/[name]Burt[/name], [name]Bertram[/name], [name]Gilbert[/name], [name]Albert[/name], [name]Bertie[/name], [name]Bobby[/name], [name]Robin[/name],

Girl: [name]Robyn[/name], [name]Roberta[/name], [name]Bertie[/name] (as a stand alone name or a nn for [name]Beatrice[/name]), [name]Bertha[/name], [name]Alberta[/name], [name]Bobbie[/name] (Same as [name]Bertie[/name] but for [name]Barbara[/name] or [name]Roberta[/name])

Best Wishes x

[name]Robin[/name]/[name]Robyn[/name] is the first thing that came to my head, besides [name]Bob[/name]. [name]Bob[/name] is more of a nick name, if you ask me. The meaning of [name]Robert[/name] is ‘bright fame’. Some other names that mean bright fame are:
[name]Roberta[/name], which is for a girl. And Bare, which is for a boy. [name]Roberta[/name] is [name]German[/name] and Bare is Barvarian. Another way to honor [name]Robert[/name] is to use a [name]German[/name] name, because [name]Robert[/name] is [name]German[/name]…
[name]Ralph[/name]
[name]Leon[/name]
[name]Jonas[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Frank[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]

[name]Barbara[/name]
[name]Doreen[/name]
[name]Karin[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Manuela[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Sabine[/name]
[name]Petra[/name]
[name]Yvonne[/name]

The last idea is to just use a name that begins with R:
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Ray[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Remington[/name]

I hope I helped, I am sure you will find a way to honor [name]Robert[/name]!
