My mothers middle name is [name]Marie[/name], [name]MIL[/name]'s name is [name]Myra[/name]. I don’t particularly like either of these names, but DH and I would like to honor them both when naming a (future) daughter. [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Mira[/name] would be a viable way to honor both [name]Myra[/name] and [name]Marie[/name]? What do you think of:
I like this way of honoring! I myself am considering/planning on using [name]Caroline[/name] as a middle name to honor [name]Carol[/name] and [name]Karen[/name].
Liking both [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Mira[/name] and [name]Celeste[/name] [name]Mira[/name]!
I don’t really see the connection besides [name]Mira[/name] sounds/looks like [name]Myra[/name] and [name]Marie[/name] also has a “mar” sound, how are you pronouncing it? “my ra” or “mee ra” like the Spanish word mira?
thetxbelle: I posted previously: It is pronounced like Meer-uh. An alternate spelling is [name]Meara[/name].
[name]Do[/name] you have any ideas? I am kind of just trying to play around with different names that might, in some way, honor both [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Myra[/name] and so I’m kind of trying out of the box ideas.
I love [name]Celeste[/name] [name]Mira[/name]! Or how about using [name]Maria[/name]? [name]Maria[/name] combines both [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Myra[/name] nicely.
I like [name]Mira[/name] - generally and as an honorific. I also think [name]Mary[/name] would work - letters of [name]Myra[/name], form of [name]Marie[/name].
Of your two I prefer [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Mira[/name]. I can also see nickname [name]Em[/name] because of the initials.
