Some of the individual elements are way stronger than others.

  • I would say prioritize variations of [name_f]Caitlyn[/name_f], as she seems to be the person you want to honor the most
  • Of the names in honor of your dad, I recommend [name_f]Selena[/name_f]. That story is sweet
  • I would use [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] as the name after your mom
  • Did you have a strong connection to the aunt [name_f]Ines[/name_f] is after? [name_u]Or[/name_u] is that more someone your are honoring just to honor?
  • It is also worth noting that [name_f]Ines[/name_f] and all of the [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] variations mean pure. So an honor name after [name_f]Caitlyn[/name_f] can serve double duty if desired
  • [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is one of those names where if it fits, use it, but it isn’t a priority
  • [name_f]Megan[/name_f] could be nice, especially if that is your paternal grandmother and she only had sons
  • [name_u]Bear[/name_u], [name_u]Blue[/name_u], [name_f]Belle[/name_f], and [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] all feel far weaker connection wise

[name_f]Ines[/name_f] is a pretty important honor actually, kind of like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], I’ve grown up hearing stories about her.

and my grandma doesn’t all have sons, she has two boys and a girl, but she wanted another girl.

[name_u]Bear[/name_u] is the only honor name for my mom me and my mom can agree on right now, she loves the idea of using [name_u]Bear[/name_u] to honor her.

[name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] holds a lot of special memories for me and my dad so [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] is also pretty important.

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is sparky, elegant and charming

[name_f]Selena[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Bear[/name_u] flows beautifully and feels meaningful

[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] has flair and unexpectedness

[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Ines[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u] is bright and pretty

[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] [name_f]Megan[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] feels quite regal and charming

[name_u]Jersey[/name_u] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] has a different vibe to the others, but I imagine these might not all be used, so it’s not a big deal. It has balance and freshness

I like the creativeness of your honours :slight_smile:

I like all of them and I love the stories behind them as well.

I feel [name_f]Caitlyn[/name_f] seems to be someone you most want to honour so prioritise her, but overall the names are super pretty and have some really sweet meanings.

It was hard for me to not put an honor name for her in every combo.
