I was wondering if you Berries had any ways of honouring the following names, as I’m struggling to find names I’m satisfied with.
As an example, I want to honour a [name]Jenny[/name] and I’m doing so by using [name]Genevieve[/name]. Does anyone have any ideas for these names?
[name]Eileen[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] (who goes by [name]Lilly[/name])
[name]Kay[/name]
[name]Amy[/name]
[name]Marie[/name]
Thanks in advance 
Ooh, fun! I love inventive ways to honor family. 
[name]Eileen[/name] - did you know [name]Eileen[/name]'s a form of [name]Helen[/name]/[name]Helena[/name]? I didn’t until recently, which makes me so happy, since [name]Eileen[/name] is my sister’s MN and I love [name]Helen[/name] names, haha. Particularly [name]Eilidh[/name], [name]Helena[/name], and [name]Eleni[/name]. Technically, [name]Elena[/name]'s name could even be in honor of an [name]Eileen[/name]. Otherwise, the only other way I’ve thought to honor my sister based off her MN is [name]Madeleine[/name]–the last six letters in [name]Madeleine[/name] are the same exact letters in [name]Eileen[/name], just jumbled up a bit!
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - I would probably just go for an [name]Elizabeth[/name] name, or a [name]Lily[/name] variant here. i.e… [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Eliska[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Elisabetta[/name], Elisabella, [name]Isabelle[/name]/a, [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Lilia[/name], [name]Liliana[/name], [name]Lilibet[/name], [name]Lilias[/name], etc.
[name]Kay[/name] - my only thought for this was [name]Acacia[/name]. I think [name]Acadia[/name] or [name]Arcadia[/name] could work, too… or maybe even [name]Camille[/name]? I would think you could do [name]Camille[/name] nn [name]Kay[/name]…
[name]Amy[/name] - [name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Amelie[/name], maybe? Or [name]Amabel[/name], [name]Amalia[/name]/[name]Amalie[/name], [name]Amaya[/name], etc.
[name]Marie[/name] - [name]Marietta[/name], [name]Marielle[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Maria[/name], or maybe even something like [name]Margot[/name] or [name]Margaret[/name]?
Good luck!
I also wanted to add that you might want to play around with their hobbies, birth stones, birth flowers, birth months, etc… Sometimes those types of things are usable. [name]Rosamund[/name] for someone who loves horses, [name]Wren[/name] for a bird-lover, [name]Ruby[/name] for someone who loves the color red, etc…
[name]Eileen[/name]- [name]Eileen[/name] is an Irish variation of [name]Helen[/name], so I would consider [name]Elena[/name], [name]Helen[/name], [name]Elaine[/name] or [name]Alina[/name], but you already have [name]Elena[/name]. I had a friend with this name who pronounces it eye-leen, so I think [name]Irene[/name]/[name]Irina[/name] would work as well.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]- there’re so many beautiful names that could work. My favourites are [name]Elspeth[/name], [name]Lisbeth[/name] (I know a sweet little girl with this name!), [name]Elsa[/name] (my favourite, but unfortunately, too similar to [name]Elena[/name]?), [name]Isabelle[/name]/a and even some [name]Lily[/name] names. I think [name]Lilibet[/name] might be so sweet!
[name]Kay[/name]- I’ve seen some girls named [name]Acacia[/name] using [name]Kay[/name] as nickname.
[name]Amy[/name]- [name]Just[/name] [name]Amy[/name]. I think [name]Amy[/name] is really cute!
[name]Marie[/name]- I love [name]Marie[/name] as middle name. To me, it’s not a filler. [name]How[/name] about [name]Mary[/name], [name]Maria[/name], [name]Mia[/name] and [name]Marianne[/name]?
Good luck!
[name]Eileen[/name] - [name]Eileen[/name] is an Irish variation of [name]Helen[/name], so you’ve kind of already honoured your [name]Eileen[/name] with [name]Elena[/name]! Other variations you could think about are [name]Helena[/name], [name]Nell[/name], or just plain [name]Helen[/name], which is quite pretty on its own.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] (who goes by [name]Lilly[/name]) - For [name]Elizabeth[/name], the possibilities are virtually endless. The names [name]Susan[/name], [name]Susannah[/name] and such actually mean [name]Lily[/name], so that’s a definite option. You’ve also got virtually infinite variations of [name]Elizabeth[/name] - my favourites of which are [name]Eliska[/name] (ell-ISH-kah or eh-LISS-kah), [name]Elisheva[/name], [name]Elspeth[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]. You could also go with [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Isobel[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Isabella[/name], [name]Bella[/name], [name]Belle[/name] and such, which are actually variations of [name]Elizabeth[/name].
[name]Kay[/name] - [name]Acacia[/name] is definitely my favourite to honour [name]Kay[/name], though [name]Kate[/name], [name]Katie[/name], [name]Kat[/name], [name]Kathy[/name]/[name]Kathie[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Kaylin[/name], [name]Kaytlin[/name] and other such variations would work too.
[name]Amy[/name] - [name]Amity[/name] was my first thought. [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Amabel[/name] are also some good options. [name]One[/name] of your favourites, Amélie, is very usable as well to honour [name]Amy[/name].
[name]Marie[/name] - You could go with the ever-classic [name]Mary[/name], which is actually my favourite option, or variation [name]Maria[/name]. [name]Marie[/name] is also a common and quite pretty ending for hyphenated names, like [name]Anne[/name]-[name]Marie[/name]/[name]Annemarie[/name] or [name]Sophia[/name]-[name]Marie[/name], (my favourites). [name]Maisy[/name], [name]Mamie[/name], [name]May[/name]/[name]Mae[/name] and [name]Molly[/name] are also some nice variations of [name]Mary[/name] that you could use.
(Also felt I had to add that you could - for want of a better phrase - kill two birds with one stone with [name]Amelia[/name], who could go by [name]Mia[/name], honouring both [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Amy[/name] in a way.)
Good luck!
[name]Eileen[/name] - [name]Isla[/name]/[name]Eila[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] (who goes by [name]Lilly[/name]) - [name]Lilias[/name], [name]Lilibet[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Liza[/name], [name]Bethany[/name]
[name]Kay[/name] - i like this one on her own! Any name with a strong K sound would do.
[name]Amy[/name] - [name]Amity[/name], [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Aimee[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] - Amarie, Emary/Emorie/[name]Emory[/name], [name]Mara[/name], [name]Marietta[/name]
I also like looking to things that the family liked (Hobbies, favorite colour etc) or you could look towards name meaning.
xo [name]Viv[/name]
[name]Eileen[/name] - [name]Helene[/name], [name]Eleni[/name], [name]Eliana[/name], [name]Elena[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Elisabetta[/name]
[name]Kay[/name] - [name]Caitlin[/name], [name]Cassia[/name], [name]Katia[/name]
[name]Amy[/name] - [name]Amabel[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] - [name]Marian[/name], [name]Mariana[/name]
Actually, [name]Eileen[/name] is the Anglicization of the Irish name: Eibhleann or [name]Eibhlin[/name], pronounced [name]Ave[/name]-linn. So I would use [name]Aveline[/name] to honor an [name]Eileen[/name].
My cousin honored her mother, [name]Kay[/name], by naming her daughter [name]Kayla[/name].
I like [name]Libby[/name] as an alternative to [name]Elizabeth[/name].
I’m mainly playing with sound here.
[name]Eileen[/name]: [name]Isla[/name] was my first thought.
[name]Elizabeth[/name]: Since she goes by [name]Lilly[/name]… maybe [name]Lilac[/name]? Or a form of [name]Elizabeth[/name] like [name]Elspeth[/name] or [name]Lisbeth[/name].
[name]Kay[/name]: [name]Katya[/name]? It’s a stretch but it was my first thought.
[name]Amy[/name]: [name]Amaya[/name]?
[name]Marie[/name]: [name]Maren[/name]?
Eileen - Ellen, Irene, Isla (a bit of a stretch), Leena
Elizabeth (who goes by Lilly) - Eliza, Beth, Lizzie, Elise, Elsapet, Isabel, Isabella
Lily - Lila, Lilith, Lilian, Lilibeth, Lilibelle, Lilianna, Lilianne
Kay - Katherine, Kaylin, Caitlin, Kathleen, Kayla, Kayley
Amy - Amelia, Amia, Mya (a stretch but the letters out of orders), May (like Mya, the letters reordered)
Marie - Mary, Maria, May (worked for both Marie and Amy), Polly and Minnie (variations of Mary)
