I think the sound of [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is great, but unfortunately I don’t think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] works as an honor for [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] because the first syllables sound different and it’s not an immediate connection. I think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] works better because of the pronunciation. I definitely wouldn’t recommend the Yvelyn spelling, because I think it would prove confusing. I really do love [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f], and I think it has the best flow of the names on your list.

[name_f]Imo[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] doesnt really work as a honour name for [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f], and besides I think that [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] is the best combo you have.

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] sounds like two completely different names to me, so I voted for just using [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f], it’s a lovely name. Or [name_f]Eva[/name_f] works too, but it doesn’t really flow with [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]. [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] is the best.

Thank you to everyone for your time and comments. I think that you are correct in saying that [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] does not truly work as an honour name for [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f]. Now I am leaning more towards [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

I think it works, but [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] is nice too.

I do think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is a bit of a stretch compared to the other names you are using.

Since you went with variations on the names you want to honor, I’m going to recommend [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f], [name_f]Yveline[/name_f], and [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] as honor names For [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f].

[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] is also really lovely if you don’t mind using the direct name.
