Names to honor someone or someones!

General Name Discussion
1

I’m not pregnant or anything, still a teen. But just looking for new names to add to my list, names that would honor family members. I’m going to leave my signature on so that you guys can figure out my naming style. I like some classics but I’m definitely not afraid to be bold. Most of the names on my signature list are moving to the mn slot because I realized they sound terrible with my three ln and I’m kinda heartbroken because of it, so I kinda need more names to inspire me again and what wouldn’t be any better than to find names that would honor someone!

Here are the names given special honor;

[name_u]Rosario[/name_u] (I might use my mothers name as a mn)
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] (three people got this name, grandfather, father and older brother, I’m not using this name)
[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]
Timotea (hardie, I know)
[name_m]Ramon[/name_m] (I’m honoring with Ramona)
[name_m]Henri[/name_m]/Honri/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (my grannie changed her name about three times, I do like Henry)
[name_f]Dulce[/name_f]-[name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_m]Francisco[/name_m] (I already like [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], but would like to see other options)
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] (I really hate [name_f]Susan[/name_f] but I adore Lily, but like to see other options)
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Julio[/name_m]
[name_m]Apollinaire[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] (I already got [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], which I love!)

Thanks for everything and cheers!

All of my names are meaningful, but most of them honor fictional or historical figures, not real people. The exceptions:

First Names
[name_f]Faye[/name_f] (my beloved mentor)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] (my aunt)
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] ([name_m]Louis[/name_m] is a family name, and one I love, but unfortunately it’s unusable for me as it’s my estranged father’s original first name)
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f] (my grandmother’s name was [name_f]Yvette[/name_f])
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] (my sister’s name is S0phie, which means wisdom, as does [name_f]Thea[/name_f])
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] (a soundalike of S0phie - and incidentally, [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are both protagonist in another wonderful mentor’s novels)
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] (there are a lot of [name_f]Marys[/name_f] in my mother’s family, and it’s her middle name)
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] (another [name_f]Mary[/name_f] honor name - the sea also has a great deal of family significance)
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] (for my grandfather)
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] (the name of a dear friend)
[name_m]Abram[/name_m] (ditto)
[name_m]Ajax[/name_m] ([name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_m]John[/name_m] are family names, but both are too popular for me to consider as a first)
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f] (an updated version of [name_u]Jean[/name_u], the name of a mentor)
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] (this is VERY roundabout, but my favorite memory with my grandmother is of watching ruby-throated hummingbirds in her garden)

Middle Names
[name_m]Fritz[/name_m] (my grandfather’s name)
[name_f]Frida[/name_f] (a feminization of [name_m]Fritz[/name_m])
[name_f]Selma[/name_f] (my grandfather’s mother’s name)
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] (my mother’s name is Sus@n)
[name_m]John[/name_m] (traditionally, the name of the firstborn son in my mother’s family - I would use [name_m]Jack[/name_m] as a first name, if only it weren’t so popular!)
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u] (my grandfather and one of my mentors were/are avid sailors)
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (my mother’s best friend)
[name_u]Tailor[/name_u] (a maiden name on my mother’s side)
[name_f]Elfrida[/name_f] (a combination of two honor names)
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] (the name of a friend)
[name_f]Columbine[/name_f] (I go to school at a big college with a soundalike name…pretty sure you can figure this one out)
[name_u]Jean[/name_u] (mentor)

Oh, it’s such a shame. I’m not really feeling any of the “[name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Dulce[/name_f], or [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]” names. I just find them a bit bland.
Out of the [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] names, I really like [name_m]Kenji[/name_m], maybe [name_u]Kenya[/name_u] (if it wasn’t a country) and [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u]… or [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]? I feel like this name is too popular? [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]McKenna[/name_f]?
[name_f]Asta[/name_f], my oh my, I looked up the meaning, it is very beautiful name! I like [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] too!
[name_f]Ramina[/name_f] is lovely too, but I think I like [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] more. I don’t know about [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m]. I feel like you have too be one of those people who just don’t shock you, “ballsy” people and while I have a huge personality. I’m definitely not those… lol
[name_m]Enrique[/name_m], I think it’s so funny how my mother named me after a song by [name_m]Julio[/name_m] Iglesias who just happens to be the father of [name_m]Enrique[/name_m] Iglesias, so maybe its meant to be? haha. I like [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]. [name_m]Beacon[/name_m] and [name_m]Beamer[/name_m] are warming up to me. They just sound so cool.
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Julius[/name_m], are middle name contenders, especially [name_m]Julius[/name_m].
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] is very beautiful name. But sadly in spanish, two L’s next to each other makes a J sound and the whole name sounds like “Ahpo-Jenie” or “[name_f]Apple[/name_f]-[name_f]Genie[/name_f]” (lol) so I guess thats a no.
I also thought [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] was a stretch from [name_m]George[/name_m]? But I like it!

Thank you so much! I’ll be adding some of these to my list. Maybe it can get my hopes up, it kinda just sucks that the first of my last names starts with a [name_m]Kirk[/name_m]-. I noticed that names ending in A or E just sounds better with the harsh [name_m]Kirk[/name_m].

Thanks again.
