Ideas to Honor 🌷

Name Advice
1

Hello all! I am constantly trying to find ways to honor my loved ones, but it’s obviously impossible to honor everyone I care about with only the 3-4 kids that I someday hope for. Therefore, I’d love to hear any and all ideas that you have to honor the following names (maybe even multiple honors in one!) – as stretchy or as obvious as you’d like.
[name_f]Geraldine[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]Kristin[/name_f]
[name_f]Nunzia[/name_f]
[name_f]Florinda[/name_f]

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Stephen[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
Thanks in advance! I can’t wait to hear what you come up with!

[name_f]Kazia[/name_f] (Kathleen + Nunzia)
[name_m]Tide[/name_m] (Thomas + Clyde)
[name_f]Thomasine[/name_f] (Thomas + Geraldine)
Katie-Beth (Kathleen + Beth)
Floren (Florinda + Stephen)
[name_f]Florine[/name_f] (Florinda + [name_f]Geraldine[/name_f] and Kathleen)

[name_m]Mattia[/name_m] (Matthew + Nunzia)
[name_f]Clorinda[/name_f] (Clyde + Florinda)
[name_m]Mattan[/name_m] (Matthew + Stephen)
[name_f]Bethan[/name_f] / Bethin (Beth + Kristin)
[name_f]Floria[/name_f] (Florinda + Nunzia)
Geode (George + [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] – I think this one is so cool!)
Jordine / [name_m]Jordan[/name_m] / [name_m]Geordie[/name_m] (Geraldine + [name_m]George[/name_m]? but spelled different)

[name_f]Geraldine[/name_f]- [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] feels like an updated version of [name_f]Geraldine[/name_f]. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] might work as an honor name.
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]- I love the option of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] for this because it makes such a darling middle name.
A name like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] also goes in [name_f]Geraldine[/name_f] and Kathleen’s sounds.

Beth-I’d use [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for sure. [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] could work but a bit of a stretch. Maybe [name_f]Belle[/name_f].
[name_f]Kristin[/name_f]- I like [name_f]Christiana[/name_f]. Something like [name_f]Tinsley[/name_f] might work.
Nunzia-i think using the first letter of a name works well if you don’t want to use the exact name. [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] would all work.
[name_f]Florinda[/name_f]- [name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_f]Flora[/name_f] would be beautiful honor names for this.

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], or [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be my favorite to honor the names from the list.

For [name_m]George[/name_m] I love [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] for a girl.
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] is darling to honor a [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
To honor [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] maybe [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
I love [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] as a middle name option in its own!

[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] or [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] would be very handsome.
