Ways to honor family names

Girl Names
1

I’ve been thinking of naming potential baby girl after my parents [name_f]Elin[/name_f] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. What do you think of [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Eline[/name_f]? I sort of like it because it reminds me of my parents but I’m not sure how nice the name really is. Any thoughts and other suggestions or alternatives are appreciated.

[name_f]Elin[/name_f] has many forms to choose from. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] doesn’t have many forms to choose from for feminine versions. I prefer [name_f]Petra[/name_f].

[name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Elina[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]

My favorites are [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana][name_f]Petra[/name_f] and [name_f]Ileana[/name_f] [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana][name_f]Petra[/name_f].[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]

I actually love [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Eline[/name_f]! [name_f]Petra[/name_f] has a lot of strength and spunkiness to it. [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Elin[/name_f] or [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] would be beautiful too.
