Thoughts & suggestions?

[gabhart]

I love all things names but when it comes to names I would actually use I get caught up with doubt when trying to include honor names. I need advice on some combos I’ve come up with but also would love any and all suggestions with or without the honor names!!

[name_f]Honor[/name_f] names I’d really love to include but not sure how: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Kaye[/name_f], [name_f]Eisele[/name_f], [name_m]Michael[/name_m], [name_m]Charlie[/name_m]
Other honor names: [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Carol[/name_f], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_f]Fergie[/name_f], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_f]Matilde[/name_f], [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Hubert[/name_m], [name_m]Dave[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], Albert/a, [name_f]Frances[/name_f]

I don’t love [name_m]Michael[/name_m] or [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] as a first name, I have a distaste for super popular masculine names unfortunately. here’s a general list of other names I like:
boys- [name_m]Rafe[/name_m], [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], [name_m]Aubert[/name_m], [name_m]Crispin[/name_m], [name_m]Coast[/name_m], [name_m]Jameson[/name_m], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Gray[/name_m], [name_m]Cicero[/name_m], [name_m]Dune[/name_m], [name_m]Odin[/name_m], [name_m]Beaumont[/name_m], [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m], [name_m]Montague[/name_m], [name_m]Monte[/name_m], [name_m]Monty[/name_m], [name_m]Miller[/name_m], [name_m]Lafe[/name_m], [name_m]Beauden[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Eros[/name_m], [name_m]Sutter[/name_m], [name_m]Finlo[/name_m], [name_m]Philo[/name_m], [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], [name_m]Koa[/name_m], [name_m]Truett[/name_m], [name_m]Abel[/name_m], [name_m]Malone[/name_m], [name_m]Ridge[/name_m]
girls- [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Mauve[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Mabyn[/name_f], [name_f]Nomi[/name_f], [name_f]Nori[/name_f], [name_f]Noelani[/name_f], [name_f]Otelia[/name_f], [name_f]Halo[/name_f], [name_f]Orchid[/name_f], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Bay[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], [name_f]Lotus[/name_f], [name_f]Nella[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Selah[/name_f], [name_f]Abelone[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Meta[/name_f], [name_f]Ihanelma[/name_f], [name_f]Luminary[/name_f] (Lumi), Rumi/Romi/Roma, [name_f]Lune[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f], [name_f]Sade[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Lula[/name_f]

here’s some combos I’ve come up with so far (and agreed upon with my partner):
[name_f]Mabyn[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaya[/name_f] (pron. KAY-uh) [name_f]Francine[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m]
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m]
[name_m]Philo[/name_m] [name_m]Casper[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafe[/name_m] [name_m]Aeron[/name_m]

thank you so much in advance!

[name_f]Carolina[/name_f] could be used as an honour for [name_f]Carol[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] could be really pretty- or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].

You could honour both [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] at once with [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]- [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Sade[/name_f] is a combo that came to mind.

[name_f]Maria[/name_f] could also be an honour for [name_f]Mary[/name_f], or [name_f]Marya[/name_f] (pronounced maar-ya). [name_f]Bay[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f]? [name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f]?

[name_m]Alberto[/name_m] could be used to honour [name_m]Albert[/name_m]- [name_m]Dune[/name_m] [name_m]Alberto[/name_m] or [name_m]Beauden[/name_m] [name_m]Alberto[/name_m] sound like fun combos.

[name_m]Michael[/name_m] and [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] could both be shortened to [name_m]Mick[/name_m] and [name_m]Chaz[/name_m]- so you have options for combos like [name_m]Aubert[/name_m] [name_m]Mick[/name_m] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] or [name_m]Jameson[/name_m] [name_m]Chaz[/name_m] [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m].

Without any alterations, I think [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] make a good combo for a boy, and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Matilde[/name_f] for a girl. I also really like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Nella[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f] (which I imagine sounds a bit similar to [name_f]Rosella[/name_f] which sounds fun).

If [name_f]Eisele[/name_f] is pronounced ‘ice-elle’ you could use [name_f]Elle[/name_f] to honour it- or [name_f]Elle[/name_f]. You could double barrel [name_f]Lune[/name_f] to Lune-Elle. Lune-Elle [name_f]Otelia[/name_f] sounds really pretty to me.

Thank you so much for your input! Some lovely combos here!

I love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f]! However, I forgot to mention that another family member is named [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] already so I wouldn’t use it. It is a lovely name.

Yes I love [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Sade[/name_f] is gorgeous!

I really like [name_f]Marya[/name_f]! & [name_f]Bay[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Marya[/name_f]

[name_m]Beauden[/name_m] [name_m]Alberto[/name_m] is great!

WOW I love these: [name_m]Aubert[/name_m] [name_m]Mick[/name_m] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] & [name_m]Jameson[/name_m] [name_m]Chaz[/name_m] [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]

[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] flows niceley! [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Matilde[/name_f] is so sweet. I do love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Selah[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name is beautiful.

Lune-Elle [name_f]Otelia[/name_f] is sooo pretty!! [name_f]Eisele[/name_f] is a little difficult to pronounce by looking at it but its ‘eyes-lee’ can also be spelled [name_f]Isley[/name_f]. I do like [name_f]Eisele[/name_f] Otelia!!

Thank you!!!

[Greyblue]

Nice list so far!

[name_f]Mabyn[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is sassy and sweet!
[name_f]Kaya[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f] is elegant and sparky
[name_f]Ottie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is cute and interesting. I do think I’d like [name_f]Otelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], but [name_f]Ottie[/name_f] works
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f] is a bit too descriptive for me. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]? [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f]?
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m] is solid and charming
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] is clunky and cool
[name_m]Philo[/name_m] [name_m]Casper[/name_m] is pretty fun and flows well
[name_m]Rafe[/name_m] [name_m]Aeron[/name_m] is bright and stylish!

[Ehrob1]

I love combining names to I think some sweet honours could be

Rosiele
[name_f]Kaysie[/name_f]

[name_m]Michael[/name_m] and [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] could be shortened or rearranged to
[name_m]Cael[/name_m]
[name_f]Marlie[/name_f]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m]

[gabhart]

I never thought of that, great idea!!
[name_f]Kaysie[/name_f] is so cute pronounced KAY-zee
also love [name_m]Cael[/name_m] & [name_f]Marlie[/name_f].
Thank you!
