Hello! My wife and I would like to try out a different kind of honor middle names thingy. Since both of us are women, we would like to kind of, say, honor some LGBT activist by using their name for our daughter [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]'s middle name! Please help us out!
Hmmm
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Audre[/name_f] ([name_f]Audre[/name_f] [name_m]Lord[/name_m])
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Laverne[/name_f] ([name_f]Laverne[/name_f] Cox)
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Martina[/name_f] ([name_f]Martina[/name_f] Navratilova
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] Rivera ([name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] Rivera)
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] (DeGenerous)
The ones that come to mind immediately to me:
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f], for [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_u]Zia[/name_u]
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] Urvashi, for Urvashi Vaid (urvashi means “capturing the heart,” which is just so beautiful)
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Audre[/name_f], for [name_f]Audre[/name_f] Lorde
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] Takei, for [name_m]George[/name_m] Takei
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] Rivera, for [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] Rivera
And my personal favorite,
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f], for [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] Tran
Oh hey, a topic I know a lot about!
I think [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Storme[/name_f] would be an awesome choice, and extremely applicable. [name_f]Storme[/name_f] Delarverie is known as the “[name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_m]Parks[/name_m] of the gay community.” She was a lesbian whose fight with police “was the defining moment that incited the [name_m]Stonewall[/name_m] riots, spurring the crowd to action” according to her Wikipedia page (worth a read!). She essentially started the [name_m]Stonewall[/name_m] riots (which she preferred to call a “rebellion”). She was a mixed-race performer and was extremely influential in the gay rights movement.
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Storme[/name_f] has a great sound to it, I think :).
OMG I’m just so excited to see someone else with a LO named [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]! Can I ask how you chose it?
Regarding the suggestions above, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Helen[/name_f] is nice, and [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] is actually a variation of the name [name_f]Helen[/name_f], as is [name_f]Eleni[/name_f]. So it would be kind of a 2 in 1 honor name.
I think [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Storme[/name_f] sounds cool. Come to think of it, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_m]Stone[/name_m] has a similarly cool sound.
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_f]Margarethe[/name_f]
