I am coming up short trying to figure out a way to honor my late grandmother. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering if I am missing something? Any ideas?

That’s tough! I think it’s possible if you connect the names through the name meaning of [name_f]Helen[/name_f] (bright, shining one). Boy’s names that mean bright/light/shining (these are just a few):

[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Bertram[/name_m]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_m]Arjun[/name_m]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m]

[name_m]Heller[/name_m] is a name that I heard recently. That could work.
Or something with the nickname [name_m]Len[/name_m]?

What about Heli It’s the latin form of [name_m]Eli[/name_m]. I think it’s the closest similar name you can get to [name_f]Helen[/name_f] without it being too heavy of a name.

Helder
[name_f]Helge[/name_f]
Helias
Helmo
Helmfrid
[name_m]Helmut[/name_m]

You could look into greek mythology as inspirations, looking at name info on nameberry [name_m]Zeus[/name_m] and Trojan could work.
My friend chose to honour her Grandfather but when the baby was a girl she used her Grandmothers name because of his love for his wife, sometimes it could be the image that person convey that you could use to honour them, something you think of and tie to them. I have [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] on my list because it something I always tie back to the weekends I spent in my Grandparents garden.
I also know many people who use the initial of the person they are honouring and use another name with that same letter.
