[name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] – cute, personally I would prefer more of a full name nn [name_f]Indie[/name_f]. That’s a personal preference though, the combo is cute ([name_f]Indira[/name_f], [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], any –inda name)
[name_u]Ember[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] – for me it’s too taken by [name_f]Amber[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] the celebrity/former stripper. My name is [name_f]Amber[/name_f] and I get this association all the time. I like [name_u]Ember[/name_u] better than [name_f]Amber[/name_f], but I think its just too close.
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] – cute, but sounds like one name to me ([name_f]Coralynn[/name_f]/[name_f]Coraline[/name_f])
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] – my favorite of your top combos!
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u] [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] – not a fan of either name personally, and with a unisex name, I’d prefer to pair it will a more feminine name to suggest the child’s gender
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] – don’t like the way they rhyme, [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is lovely, [name_f]Fay/name_f has a bad association for me but is a fine name
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] – I actually think this name is really cute
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] – [name_f]Belle[/name_f] names are a little frilly/overly popular for my taste.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [honor name] – this is lovely. I love the combination of unique/nature with classic and unisex with feminine. They are just different enough in style to be perfect together!
[name_u]Brinley[/name_u] – Not a fan
[name_f]Aveline[/name_f] (like adeline, but with -v) nn Avvy – its cute
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] – to me the friends association is too strong (not that it is a bad association), but it’s a good name
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] – not a fan
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] – cute, haven’t fully developed my opinion of it yet, but its growing on me
[name_u]Laken[/name_u] – never heard it, initial reaction is that I don’t really like it
[name_u]Reagan[/name_u] – It’s cute. A surname name for girls that I am ok with.
Aaryn – don’t like the unique spelling
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] – beautiful, I like this better than the more popular [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u] [more MN] – I prefer [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] for boys
Elliette/[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - prefer for boys
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] – never been a fan
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] – [name_u]Love[/name_u] classic [name_f]Rose[/name_f] on its own! I would love to use it, but its much too popular where I live
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]/[name_u]June[/name_u] – its cute, wouldn’t use it myself but it’s a strong choice
It sounds like you aren’t really a fan of the honor names you have available. I would say don’t use them! If you really want to honor someone you could try to do so in another way (birth month, birth stone, favorite flower, a special place name, etc). If you really want to use a name, maybe try different forms of the names (and remember you can cross genders using honor names as inspiration). Personally, I think [name_f]Althea[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are great names. Here are some other options:
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] –[name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], [name_f]Anthea[/name_f], [name_f]Thalia[/name_f], [name_f]Alleah[/name_f], similar meaning “healing” - [name_f]Peony[/name_f] (or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] for a boy)
[name_f]Elva[/name_f] – [name_u]Alva[/name_u], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], [name_f]Alvina[/name_f], [name_f]Ivanna[/name_f], similar meaning (“ruler of the elves”) - [name_u]Avery[/name_u], ([name_u]Evan[/name_u])
[name_f]Agnus[/name_f] – [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Nessa[/name_f], [name_f]Ines[/name_f], [name_f]Aneska[/name_f], similar meaning “pure” - [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and variants
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] - [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], [name_f]Hetty[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f] ([name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m])

[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] – [name_f]Jessa[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f], [name_f]Jessalyn[/name_f], similar meaning “Gift” – [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f],
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] – [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Edie[/name_f] ([name_m]Ed[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Edwin[/name_m])
[name_f]Selena[/name_f] – [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Celene[/name_f], [name_f]Serena[/name_f], similar meaning “moon” – [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] – [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], any –belle/a name

[name_u]Lynn[/name_u] – [name_f]Linnie[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], any –lyn name
I think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] overall is nice, but I’m not sure I like it that much, haha.
