Honour - Opinions plz

[M1985]

I liked the name Honour for DD1 (now 39 wks with DC3) I went off it when having DD2 but have come back to it lately.

Is it classic & beautiful or silly/awful?

My two DD's names are both classic/olden names, would it go?

[EmpressOfJurisfiction]

I like it but isn't it usually Honor as a name?

[MephistophelesApprentice]

It's totally awesome, but I should warn you that it's also the name of a female starship admiral in a popular series of science fiction books.

I love Honor, spelt this way though. Its on our list for potential dd2.

[TempsPerdu]

Love it, but only spelt Honor. One of my very favourite girls' names. Think it strikes a good balance between being classic and unusual.

[Bowlersarm]

Honor is lovely.

[AnythingNotEverything]

I like it.

[Anaffaquine]

I love it. I have a Hope though so that would be too much for another baby.

[MaraThonbar]

It's Honor, and it's lovely.

[Paintedpinksapphires]

Honor is very pretty.

[HubertCumberdale]

It sounds like 'on her' and would be easy to tease.

eg did you get honor?

[HattyMonkey]

One of my favourite names sadly vetoed for dd1&dd2.

[hidingunderthebed]

My dd's name so I love it. As a name though the spelling is Honor :)

[M1985]

I assumed Honor was the American spelling and that it would be spelled like the word (English spelling)?
Ideally I want a name to be 6 letters as both my daughters names have 6 letters

[squoosh]

It's really lovely. But as a name it's always spelt Honor, even in the UK.

[M1985]

I've seen it spelled that way but it just looks wrong to me, looks like it's spelled incorrectly to me

[PotteringAlong]

I agree; beautiful but definitely Honor.

[PotteringAlong]

I promise it's not! If you spell it honour she will spend her whole life with people going and having to say "no, there's a u in it..."

[sleepyhead]

What about Honora? (It's always spelt Honor)

[squoosh]

A very English Honor.

[Bowlersarm]

Honour is a word.

Honor is a (rather lovely) girls name.

Please don't spell it wrongly.

[treaclesoda]

I like it. But spelt Honor.

Although weirdly, the only Honour I have ever known did spell it like the word 'Honour' and I've never thought of it before until I read this thread.

[RJnomore]

If you want six letters, what about honora?

[shakemysilliesout]

I know someone who thought Anna in frozens name was honor because of the way they say it.

[M1985]

Not keen on Honora, unfortunately. Usually I hate names spelled wrong but Honor just looks American & mis-spelt to me, perhaps it's not going to be a contender for that reason.
Shame, cuz I really like it.

I don't think if it was spelt Honour she would end up spelling it all the time because it's an unusual name that I think people won't nesessarily have come across before, certainly where I live and I think people would assume it's spelt like the work, I may be wrong but just my opinion.
