🐚 Which honour name works best?

In trying to honour 𝓓𝓸𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓱𝔂 𝓐𝓷𝓷, I’m looking to find a boy’s middle name that can fit while being a single middle or as a double middle in combination with Lɛɛ. I know there are some ideas I either can’t remember right now or have never heard of, so I’ll take additional ideas if you have them – please note: I don’t want to stray too far from the actual name(s) though.

Which of the following names work best for a single middle name?

  • Αn
  • Αndor
  • Αnh
  • Αnkᴀ
  • Αnson
  • Dorɪᴀn
  • Lɪᴀn

Which of the following works best as a double middle name with Lɛɛ?

  • Lɛɛ Αn
  • Lɛɛ Αndor
  • Lɛɛ Αnh
  • Lɛɛ Αnkᴀ
  • Lɛɛ Αnson
  • Lɛɛ Dorɪᴀn

Does Lɪᴀn really work to honour both Lɛɛ and Αnn?

  • Yes
  • No

[name_m]Dorian[/name_m] and [name_m]Andor[/name_m] feel the most true to Dor0thy and An.n!

I don’t have a ton of ideas, but know of a girl whose name is Ann@dore, which I’ve always found to be unexpectedly cool—maybe that would also appeal?

Good luck!

Ann@dore is intriguing. I hadn’t heard of it before and will have to add it to the girls’ list.

Also, I appreciate the feedback on the boy variations… those two struck me as closest, but I get so wrapped in what I see that I don’t know how evident it is to anyone else.

I think Dorɪᴀn is the perfect honor for Dor0thy An.n, and sounds great with Lɛɛ!

[name_f][/name_f]

I’ll also add the suggestions of [name_m]Doran[/name_m], [name_m]Dorsey[/name_m], [name_m]Dorset[/name_m], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_m]Amador[/name_m], or [name_m]Alexsandor[/name_m], but I think your list is spot on already!

Your options are all great. I especially think Dori𝓐n is perfect. Unexpected but still similar enough to be an honour. So cool! [name_f]Love[/name_f] the tie to both the first and middle name you want to honour.

[name_f][/name_f]

Not related to boy names… But is 𝓐nnika your honour for the same name? I always remember that being one of your favourites and I adored it for you – at least it was maybe five years ago, so perhaps I’m out of date. :slight_smile:

Dorɪᴀn works best to me [name_f][/name_f]- when looking at D.A [name_f][/name_f], it was the first name that came to mind, before I scrolled down :slight_smile:

[name_f][/name_f]

Lɛɛ Αnson and Lɛɛ Αnd0r are cool too [name_f][/name_f]- though the latter does sound a lot like [name_m]Leander[/name_m] (which might work as an honour for Lɛɛ + [name_f]Ann[/name_f], with a bit of Dor0thy thrown in too :slight_smile:

[name_f][/name_f]

I think Lɪᴀn[name_f][/name_f] could work, especially if you use the -ann sound at the end, rather than it becoming more like -uhn, like in [name_m]Evan[/name_m]?

[name_f][/name_f]

a few more ideas to honor a 𝓓𝓸𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓱𝔂 𝓐𝓷𝓷 (and L££)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Doran[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ansley[/name_f] (combining L££)
[name_f][/name_f]Leethan (or Leithan, Laithan [name_f][/name_f]- maybe too stretchy)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Leodore[/name_m]

Thank you! [name_f][/name_f] I’m also finding several of these inspiring… I’m going to take some time and see what I think of them in context.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

Thank you. [name_f][/name_f] I originally couldn’t find a boy name that worked so a combine name website brought that one to my attention and it stuck. [name_f][/name_f] I also love that it combines both fn & mn.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

Yes, 𝓐nnika is still on the list. [name_f][/name_f] I prefer it as a first name, but I would find it weird to use both it and Lɛɛ𝓐nn for two different kids (or even as a fn mn combo for one child). [name_f][/name_f] I’m seeing where Lɛɛ𝓐nn leads, but I may try it as a mn. [name_f][/name_f] I had also thought about using 𝓐nakin and 𝓐nnik, but the former seemed too [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars[name_f][/name_f] for my liking and the latter slipped my mind when I typed this poll.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

Excellent points. [name_f][/name_f] While I love them on paper, the mispronunciation might end up bothering me more than I had considered. [name_f][/name_f] Lɛɛ Αnd0r[name_f][/name_f] being pronounced as [name_m]Leander[/name_m] would be more than a possibility in my family of mumblers and slurers. Lɪᴀn[name_f][/name_f] with the -uhn sound would take away from the honours for me. [name_f][/name_f] Btw, great suggestions. [name_f][/name_f] Thank you.

[name_m]Dorian[/name_m] [name_m]Lee[/name_m] would be my choice, personally, and depending on your first name choice and surname options.

I hadn’t considered switching the names around. [name_f][/name_f] So obvious, yet the idea eluded me. [name_f][/name_f] Thank you.
