My Aunt has aways been in my life and i see her as more of a mother then anything.
id love to honor her hopefully with my first born. My aunts name is a little dated to me so i wouldn’t like to use her actual name but am at a lost of how to honor her.Her name is [name]Lisa[/name] [name]Marie[/name]. We both share the same middle name so i was thinking [name]Maire[/name] for a middle name fersure where a there’s a distinctive connection to her and i. as far as that im stuck … help berries!

[name]Chantel[/name] [name]Marie[/name]

[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Alissa[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Alyse[/name]
[name]Elisa[/name]
Leisel
[name]Lisanne[/name]
And this one is kinda far fetched… But [name]Sallie[/name] or [name]Selah[/name]… Something with the letters or sounds of [name]Lisa[/name] rearranged.

[name]Hope[/name] these help!

Oh, two more…
[name]Anneliese[/name]
[name]Annalisa[/name]

4

[name]Alisa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] (I’ve always loved [name]Alisa[/name])
[name]Elisa[/name] [name]Marie[/name]

5

[name]Isla[/name] is also the letters from [name]Lisa[/name] rearranged

6

[name]Alisa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] [name]Marie[/name] are my favorites from the pp. I can’t think of anything better.

I like the idea of [name]Marin[/name] to honor her, or a variant of [name]Elisabeth[/name] which has [name]Lisa[/name] in it. Or using her initials, L.M. or reverse initials M.L., or just an L name.

Or better yet, use something she likes. Using her name is really honoring her parents more than her since her parents picked the name. Ask her what he favourite girls name is, and maybe work with that? Or her favourite colour, or country and use a name from there. Or have her pick out the girls name with you, that way your daughter’s name will have your aunts hand in it. I think that’s more honoring.

i was thinking of asking her for her opinion on her favorite girls names im sure she has tones where as she had 5 boys and only one girl herself

You could also broaden the scope a bit and figure that [name]Lisa[/name] is a short form of [name]Elizabeth[/name] and what the other options could be:
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Betty[/name]
[name]Bess[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]

to name a few.

10

[name]Marie[/name]-[name]Lise[/name] is a good one, [name]Lisette[/name] works for the [name]Lisa[/name] part too.

11

I like the suggestion of [name]Lisette[/name].

For [name]Lisa[/name]:

Lisanna (leese awn ah)
[name]Felicia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Alyssa[/name]
[name]Anneliese[/name]/[name]Annelise[/name]
Emmeliese/Emmelise

If you decided to use something other than [name]Marie[/name]:

[name]Marielle[/name]
[name]Mariella[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]

12

[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Liza[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Elisabetta[/name]
[name]Elisa[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Alison[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Talisa[/name]
[name]Callista[/name]
[name]Felicia[/name]
[name]Alicia[/name]
[name]Julissa[/name]
[name]Larisa[/name]
[name]Larissa[/name]
[name]Lee[/name]
[name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Mischa[/name]
[name]Wallis[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] (same letters, just scrambled)
[name]Marisa[/name] ([name]Lisa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] smush that’s actually a name!)

I think [name]Lisa[/name] [name]Marie[/name] is sweet.

[name]Marie[/name] variants
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]

You could also try another route, say, what’s her favorite flower? Or is there some place you both visited that has special significance for the two of you, or is their a shared family name that could work as a first name? You could even ask her input: if she doesn’t have a daughter, for instance, she might have a favorite name that she would love for you to use. [name]Say[/name] roses are her favorite flower and she loves the name [name]Katherine[/name], you’ve got…[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Or [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. Something like that. :slight_smile:

14

Well [name]Lisa[/name] is a shortened form of [name]Elizabeth[/name], so there’s a huge variety of variations to pick from.

[name]Eliza[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Liliana[/name], [name]Elisa[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Liesel[/name], etc.

You could also do the thing were you just use the first letter of the name to honor her, i.e. pick a name you like that starts with L.

15

I think if you use [name]Marie[/name], you can just explain to your daughter that this name connects her to use and to this special aunt. You could make a point of telling your aunt that you had her in mind when choosing this middle name. Otherwise, maybe you could use something special to your aunt-- a favorite color, character, flower- something that is symbolic or special to your relationship with her. I think it’s very sweet that you want to honor her!

16

I would just keep it simple and use [name]Marie[/name] either up front or in the middle. I feel that when people start getting too complicated with honoring people, the purpose gets lost and it just gets confusing.

17

[name]Marisa[/name] isn’t just a [name]Lisa[/name] [name]Maria[/name] smush it’s actually a name on to itself :slight_smile:
