Would any of you berries have any ideas on how to honour a [name]Jenny[/name], a [name]Margaret[/name] and an [name]Eileen[/name]? All three are very special to me so I’d like to honour them.
I’ve come up with [name]Maisy[/name] for [name]Margaret[/name], does this work? [name]Genevieve[/name] crossed my mind for [name]Jenny[/name] but I’m stumped on [name]Eileen[/name]. Neither [name]Maisy[/name] nor [name]Genevieve[/name] are set in stone so more suggestions are welcome.
Are you trying to make name with two middle names?
[name]Eileen[/name] – [name]Laney[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Aliana[/name], [name]Coleen[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Ellen[/name], [name]Lena[/name], [name]Illana[/name], [name]Elaine[/name], [name]Lane[/name], [name]Ella[/name] ([name]Eileen[/name], variation of [name]Helen[/name], so you could do [name]Helena[/name], [name]Helen[/name])
[name]Margaret[/name] – [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Margery[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Margarita[/name], [name]Rita[/name], [name]Madge[/name] ([name]Margaret[/name] also means [name]Pearl[/name], and the French form means [name]Daisy[/name])
[name]Jenny[/name] – [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Jenna[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name]
You could do Jemaleen. or some other name made up from letters from each name. [name]Margot[/name] (margaux) is the french form of margaret, some people find it more pleasing. You could use any [name]Gen[/name] name to get the [name]Jenny[/name] sound. [name]Geneva[/name], [name]Ginevra[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name].
[name]Eileen[/name] as a girl’s name is pronounced eye-LEEN. It’s from the French [name]Aveline[/name], a Variant of [name]Evelyn[/name] and Also a form of [name]Helen[/name].
Actually, all of these names are beautiful in and of themselves, more so than those being suggested as replacements. I like the suggestion of [name]Jemma[/name] as a way to include parts of all of them. You could also use [name]Marlene[/name] for [name]Margaret[/name] and [name]Eileen[/name]…
For [name]Eileen[/name], I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned, but it’s a form of [name]Helen[/name], so really any form of [name]Helen[/name] could honor her, I would think! My sister’s MN is [name]Eileen[/name], so I’ve considered [name]Helena[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Eilidh[/name], and [name]Eleni[/name] for her in particular, but [name]Ella[/name], [name]Helen[/name], [name]Ellen[/name], etc. would all work, too. My mom used [name]Eileen[/name] as a nod to my grandma, whose FN is [name]Arlene[/name], so maybe any name that ends in the “leen” sound? [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], etc.?
I like [name]Margot[/name] and [name]Magdalena[/name]/[name]Magda[/name] and [name]Magnolia[/name] for a [name]Margaret[/name], too, and [name]Geneva[/name] and [name]Ginevra[/name] for a [name]Jenny[/name].
The only ones I can think of that I didn’t see above were [name]Eliana[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Lina[/name], [name]Elsie[/name] for [name]Eileen[/name]…
