Mom honor names

in honor of mothers day, I was wondering what you would name your daughter to honor your mom.

I would name my daughter [name_f]Nathalia[/name_f] [name_f]Peony[/name_f] because my mom has always loved the name [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and I consider [name_f]Nathalia[/name_f] to be the feminine version of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_f]Peony[/name_f] is her favorite flower

What an awesome question. :smiling_face:

I’d name my daughter [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] to honor my mother. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] as a double first name (mom’s name is Alisyn!) and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as the middle (which is her birth flower, as well as my sister’s name by coincidence). :purple_heart:

I’d love to do [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f], too, (similar story of [name_f]Alice[/name_f] for Alisyn; [name_f]Amy[/name_f] for her birthstone, amethyst). But I think today I’d go with the former.

Have a happy Mother’s [name_u]Day[/name_u], all mama berries and families celebrating today!

I asked my mom what she’d name a daughter to fully honor her mom’s name, and she said: ā€œI’d give my daughter my mom’s full name. Easily. I love my mom’s name.ā€

The name is Oliv!a Lou!se. :smiling_face:

i would use morwenna i think !! or maybe morrigan, which both share a first syllable with my mum’s name. i would consider emeraude as a middle for her favourite colour. and maybe aurembiaix - it’s my favourite name but she loves it and really wants me to use it one day!

I’d consider:

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f] (both my ma’s names begin with J and [name_u]Jay[/name_u] is her nn; she also loves bumblebees)

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Sian[/name_f] (again, the J initial; [name_f]Sian[/name_f] is a variant of one of her names)

[name_u]Juno[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] (J initial; my mum is one of the most optimistic people i know, hence, a happy name)

[name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] (J initial + happy meaning; lavender is one of her favourite plants)

[name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_u]Juno[/name_u] (Mavis means songbird, taken from [name_u]Jay[/name_u], as in jay birds; J initial)

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_u]Rumi[/name_u] :strawberry::candle::sunflower:

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is my mother’s favourite flower, and co-incidentally my father’s birth flower. [name_u]Rumi[/name_u] is poetic but also has a similarity to her name.

Today, I would name her [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Hydrangea[/name_f], as hydrangeas are my mother’s favorite flowers, and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is for her middle, [name_u]Marie[/name_u].

On another day, I would go with [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_u]October[/name_u] for similar reasons above.

What a lovely question. I’m strongly considering my mum’s name Beverl3y as a middle one day, but if I was getting more creative…

[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u] ā€˜Bee’ (bees are significant to her + she loves family history, [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is both an old family name plus an honour for someone from her childhood)

[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] [name_u]Rosamel[/name_u] (means ā€˜bear’ which was her nickname as a kid + honey → bees)

[name_f]Ethel[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u] (another old family name + her birth month)

And a GP one…

[name_f]Belphoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f] ā€˜Bee’ (same initials as mum + bee + honey!)

Ahhh how sweet!!

I honoured my mum already with my daughters name [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] using Ashkenazi traditions of using the first and last letter of my mums name. Along with choosing a name that is Eastern European just like her cultural background.

To choose another option to honour my mum I would go [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] again uses the same start and end initials but is also a Feminisation of the male name Leonard/Leonardo which runs in her family tree (along with my dad’s) so yep for a new honour name I would go [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]! Maybe [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] as she’s born in [name_u]December[/name_u] and despite being Jewish not celebrating [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] as a child she loves that time of year.

We used my mom’s first name (Nancy) as middle name for my daughter [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].

We’re planning to use my mother-in-law’s first name (Cynthia) as the middle name for our 2nd daughter (due in September). (Choosing another first name is the hard part!).

[name_f]My[/name_f] parents gave me both of their mothers’ first names - my maternal grandmother’s as my first and my paternal grandmother’s as my middle! When they had my younger sister, family names were ā€œused upā€ so she got two names they liked :slight_smile:

I love this question!

[name_f]My[/name_f] mom’s name is [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] so for a more direct honor name I would use [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] as a middle name (I like the idea of a different spelling so my daughter would still have a bit of her ā€œownā€ name if this makes sense)

For a fun nickname that honors my mom I would use [name_u]Kit[/name_u]

For an unrelated name I would use [name_f]Violet[/name_f] because purple is her absolute favorite color and always makes me think of her. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] could work too because it’s her birth flower but I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] so much more

For a boy I would use [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] as a middle name because that’s the name of a town her family is all from and we have many wonderful memories there

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Angela[/name_f] [name_f]Fay[/name_f] or [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Circe[/name_f] [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] :butterfly::ring::dove:

my top combo is a honour for both my parents - darcie joanna!

darcie → her name is danielle ā€˜danni’, joanna → my parents other girl choice

if i was to come up with something completely new, ella rosanna or meg roza :rose:

ella → from the ā€˜elle’ ending, rosanna → roses are her favourite flower + from the ā€˜ani’ part of her name

meg → her middle name is margaret, roza → polish word for rose reflecting her heritage

[name_f]My[/name_f] mom’s initials before she was married were SKR and her middle name is [name_u]Kay[/name_u]. I would name a daughter [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] to honor her. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom in-law’s initials were LAB before she was married. I would name a daughter [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] [name_f]Amaia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] to honor her. :heart:

I would use [name_u]Lee[/name_u] for a middle name, as that’s my mom’s middle name!
I’d also use [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], as that’s my mom’s grandmother’s name that she loved and always wanted to use but never did.
[name_f]Jolee[/name_f] as a middle would honor both my mother and I. And names ending in -elle would honor both my mother and my sister.
I’m also open to using her first name as a middle name :slight_smile:

I would name her [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] was her childhood nickname and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] her favourite name.

[name_f]Liliwen[/name_f] [name_f]Maureen[/name_f]. [name_f]Liliwen[/name_f] since it’s a mix of our names and [name_f]Maureen[/name_f] is her middle name.

I think I would go with [name_f]Clover[/name_f] Susannah!!

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] comes from a song whose title is my mom’s actual name, the lyric talks about a four-leaf clover and I feel it just describes her perfectly

[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] has the same meaning (lily) as my mom’s name! I’d use [name_f]Lily[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is too plant-y lol
