Initials: HRG - what names?

90 replies

WorryLessCherishEveryDay · 28/04/2017 21:15

My great grandad was Henry Reginald Granville
My grandad was Harold Rodney George
My mum (first born) is Hillary Rosemary Grace
My name is Hailey Rose Gemma

Pregnant with first baby. Want to keep the initals of HRG. Don't know sex.

If you had to name your child with the initials HRG what would you pick? Give me boys and girls.

Dixie
No, it's definitely Honor (even in the UK).

Annora, Honoria, Honor etc... No "ou" in that name(or versions of it).

OhTheRoses · 29/04/2017 10:30

No, you wouldn't Dixie. Honor Blackman for a start and I had an Honor in my class at school and have a friend a few years older than me called Honor. It's an infrequently used classic and one of the virtue names. If you know anything about the development of the English language you will know that spellings evolve and have since the 17th Century.

Jooni · 29/04/2017 10:30

No, as a name it's usually spelt Honor, like the (British) actress Honor Blackman.

DixieFlatline · 29/04/2017 10:20

Honor is in the same vein as Grace or hope, and in the tradition of virtue naming.

That wasn't the point, really. Surely you'd call a British child Honour, if anything?

Honor Raya Grace
Hero Rivka Grace

What a great tradition!
I've made myself pick just one - I agree that the Granville from your great grandfather is one to keep - would you want to keep one ofor your mum's names maybe?

Isn't Honor just the American spelling of honour, and now also a phone? Not getting it. Confused
