Looking for similar to the above but my mind has gone blank! Something signifying strength etc. Anyone help? =) x

I know someone who wanted to use Nevaeh but then watched a few episodes of Babies Behind Bars and noticed that several convicts were calling their babies Nevaeh, so she crossed that off the list! Until then it was getting a positive reaction!

I love Honor from the virtue names.

What about Sage? Plant theme like willow/lily but also a characteristic

Eden was a possibility but it doesn't go too well with the surname...too many "en/on/un" sounds =( xx

Lily and Eden?

Chastity ...?

I like Willow and would never mistake it, but then I'm a Buffy fan and I'm rewatching it atm too. Grin

luckySwallow13 · 17/03/2016 17:13

hmm I think she's over worrying . However I can imagine willow and lillow being mistakenly said . Ha now I'm over thinking

luckySwallow13 · 17/03/2016 17:10

yea that's what I'm thinking. My dp is a big kurt fan so I don't think he'll like it . Im thinking middle name at least ;) x

I like Nirvana! I also like Neveah, heaven backwards =)

Oh my Sister has just pointed out...but I'm not sure if she is just over-thinking...could Willow get "Willy" if I already have a Lily?! Hahaha I thought Lily and Willow went lovely together but now all it takes is for someone to say it too fast without concentrating?! x

Nirvana's a great name. Reminds me a bit of Kurt Cobain but I doubt our next generation would make that link.

luckySwallow13 · 17/03/2016 17:04

What about nirvana? I have been pondering this for myself . Do you think it's daft?

I've gone off on a tangent now and decided I like Willow! No wonder I can never settle! x

It's a pain to go through life telling people how to pronounce your name though. Lots of people will read it as rhyming with gonnorhea.
I prefer Honor/ honour.

ABitAsleep · 17/03/2016 16:43

I love Honoria - i would pronounce it hon-noor-ree-ah (NoCapes Did you see the series Dickensian on BBC? There was a character on there named Honoria if you want to hear how it should be pronounced)

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/03/2016 16:41

I love the name Faith. Can't you use that?

Lweji · 17/03/2016 16:33

I'd pronounce Honoria with emphasis on the second o, as in lorry(a), not gonorrhea, which I pronounce with an emphasis on the rrhea.

NoCapes · 17/03/2016 16:30

MrsBac like gonorrhoea??

StDogolphin · 17/03/2016 16:23

Penelope
Felicity
Helena

MrsBac83 · 17/03/2016 15:58

Pronounced like On-or-re-ah

MrsBac83 · 17/03/2016 15:57

How about Honoria - a bit of honor in there but not so obvious. (Dickens character name) Sounds nicer than it looks lol.
