Totally hypothetical at this point but I mentioned to DH the other night that i really like the name Honor and he is not of the same mind, to say the least! He says it is pretentious. Do you agree?

I don't think it's pretentious but I don't like it much. It just looks like a 'wrong' spelling to me.

Said in my sarf London accent it would also sound awful. Smile

Its fine it would be a boring world if we all liked the same. I am the one who is in the minority as the twee girly names are the ones that are in fashion. Smile

(Sorry goingdownhill)

I don't like it. It sounds American, although a thread on here last year really hammered home the fact that it's british Grin I don't really like any of the Faith, Hope, Charity type names (although appreciate it is a different spelling).

However, I don't think it's pretentious.

Sorry again 'goingdownhill'

It is the name of my dd1 so obviously I love it and think it is not at all pretentious Grin. I wanted a classic yet underused name. dd is 2.7 and we have yet to meet another. I wanted a name as far away from all the Milly/Tilly/Lily/Emily type girly names that I could find. Honor is a grubby little tomboy having two big brothers and her name suits her perfectly. .
