Teacher Name?

Writers' Corner

[name_f]My[/name_f] friend and I are working on a story and I need a name for a teacher character. She’s very maternal. [name_f]Imagine[/name_f] Miss [name_f]Honey[/name_f] from [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] but older. She’s also very strong, resilient, and determined. The story is set in modern day and she’s maybe in her late forties.

So far, all I’ve come with with is [name_f]Meg[/name_f]. Any ideas?

I really like [name_f]Meg[/name_f]! I think it has the perfect feeling for a Miss Honey-type character.

[name_f]Laura[/name_f] / [name_m]Laurie[/name_m], [name_f]Erica[/name_f], [name_m]Mel[/name_m], or [name_f]Jane[/name_f] also come to mind.

I also thought [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (play on honey) would work.

Thank you for the replies, everyone!

@EagleEyes [name_m]Mel[/name_m] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are very sweet!
@Victory55 thank you! I love those names for her! Especially [name_f]Donna[/name_f], [name_f]Julie[/name_f], or [name_f]Holly[/name_f]. I also LOVE the idea of [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] as a play on Miss [name_f]Honey[/name_f].
@Sagebrush Another vote for [name_f]Meg[/name_f]! [name_m]Ty[/name_m]! I also love [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_f]Joan[/name_f], or [name_f]Kate[/name_f] for her.
@Lily_Anarchkitty I hope you and your loved ones are safe after the storm!! Also ty for the suggestions, I love all of them! Definitely a lot of amazing suggestions.

I like [name_f]Meg[/name_f]! [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] feels similar but more elegant or stronger overall. I second [name_f]Amber[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f]! Maybe [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Jenny[/name_f] was Miss Honey’s first name, just remembered) as well? They came to mind (not meaning-wise, just feel-wise). [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] is a play on Mel/Honey that I think fits the character feel-wise too (Melissa still stands if you’re looking for the meaning). Maybe [name_f]Maya[/name_f] or [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] too? How do you feel about Yasmim/Jasmine and [name_f]Lila[/name_f]? Those are the ones I could think of rn, but I’m also really tired.
