so growing up my grandma used to read me the [name_m]Little[/name_m] House on The [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] books by [name_f]Laura[/name_f] Ingalls [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and I absolutely adored them. it’s a core memory of growing up for me.
[name_f][/name_f]I was rewatching the show today (I just found out there’s going to be a reboot so I’m rewatching it in preparation) and I was thinking about using [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] as a way to honor my grandma. is this too stretchy?
I’m of the stance that if it feels like an honour name to you[name_f][/name_f] then it’s an honour name 
[name_f][/name_f] however, if you’re worried your grandma may not see it that way, and it’s important to you that she[name_f][/name_f] does, you can always ask her if you are able to
I don’t think it’s too stretchy because you’re not just honoring your grandmother, you’re also honoring memories you love and something you bonded over. It might take a little explaining, but it’s a great way to honor your grandmother.
I don’t think it’s too stretchy at all! I think it’s a great way to honor your grandma and still use a name you love. And honor names can be for memories and experiences as well 
I think if it’s meaningful to you, that’s the most important thing [name_f][/name_f]- and you can share that memory with a future child 
[name_f][/name_f] works for me
I’m all for this kind of honour/tribute name! [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] idea 🫶🏻
I think an honor name which honors a memory with someone is just as precious as using their name. if you want your grandma’s opinion I would ask her 
that’s the problem my grandma would still probably be “but [name_f]Prairie[/name_f]” even after I explained it. she’s kind of traditional when it comes to names lol
Haha yeah not surprising! maybe try talking to her about name trends and how many people use word/nature names nowadays, like [name_m]River[/name_m], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_m]Robin[/name_m], etc [name_f][/name_f]? [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] is more unusual but fits right in with the sound and vibe. or, consider it as a mn if she still thinks it’s strange lol.
I already have but mostly doesn’t like nature names… I’m not really concerned about her absolutely hating the name, I’m just concerned about he questioning why I just didn’t go with [name_f]Laura[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or something like that
[name_f]Prairie[/name_f] is such a sweet, colorful and lively name! I love it!
[name_f][/name_f]I adore honor names that are indirect, meaningful, creative, and sentimental. In my opinion, [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] is a beautiful way to pay tribute to your grandmother.
[name_f][/name_f]Ultimately, any name that reminds you of her is a wonderful choice. What truly matters is the love behind the choice and the memories the name carries.
No if it has meaning for and you’re honouring a memory I think that works
Definitely not too stretchy at all! I love [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] as an honour name for my grandmother because she always wore pearls. [name_m]Honour[/name_m] names definitely do not need to be taken from the name itself. I think this is a really meaningful way to honour.
[name_f]Prairie[/name_f] sounds like a super fun way to honor her! [name_f][/name_f] Some of my favorite honor names honor things my favorite people love/loved. [name_f][/name_f] She may wonder why you didn’t just use [name_f]Laura[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or any other name from the books, but I agree with @GreenEyes375[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- for me if it feels like an honor to me, it counts. [name_f][/name_f] If you love it as a honor name for her, maybe slowly start feeding it to her now, so when you actually are able to use it she’ll be used to it and love it haha.
[name_f][/name_f]Is she the grandma who answered our name questions a while back? [name_f][/name_f] She seemed pretty lovely, hopefully with time she’ll warm to it!
she is!! my only problem is that she hasn’t really forgiven my cousin for giving her daughter a unique name so I’m cautious when it comes to what I’ll name my future kids
