Opinions on my Top Two!

[name_u]Marion[/name_u] [name_f]Solveig[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]

Summary

[name_u]Marion[/name_u] is a variation of my mom’s middle name. [name_f]Solveig[/name_f] is pronounced SOHL-vay and means “daughter of the sun.” [name_u]Louise[/name_u] (I hope) balances this combo out with it being more common place. [name_u]Louise[/name_u] also happens to be the main character from a short story and movie, Arrival, both of which I love.

[name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_f]Altalune[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]

Summary

Although not a direct ‘honoring’, [name_u]Simone[/name_u] is the last name of one of my favorite musicians, [name_f]Nina[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]. It also has the wonderful meaning of “hearkening” or good listener. [name_f]Altalune[/name_f] means “over the moon.” [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] (I also hope) balances this combo out, and it also means “compassionate friend.”

I’m still not 100% sure about [name_f]Altalune[/name_f], so if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them!

Marion [name_f]Solveig[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is strong and beautiful

Simone [name_f]Altalune[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is okay but a bit awkward. [name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_f]Idony[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_f]Alba[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_f]Eluned[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!

I’m glad someone else likes/has heard of it! It’s one of my favorite movies and think [name_u]Louise[/name_u] [name_u]Banks[/name_u] wouldn’t be a bad namesake to have.
