Girls names like Honor?

I really love this name but it has been vetoed by DH. If I love Honor- what else will I like?

So I'm guessing your surname is 'Back'

@QuillBill not our first baby so the new baby would have a different name to the rest of us so not an option now sadly 😔

I need to know your surname!

QuillBill · 13/09/2021 21:40

Surely the solution there is to have your surname. Then the baby won't have a surname that has caused your dh to be picked on.

@Moonlaserbearwolf

I agree with you OP. None of these suggestions are as lovely as Honor in my opinion. Though I love Romola/Romulus/Romy. Why has Dh vetoed? Any chance of changing his mind?!
He says that when said in conjunction with our surname it has a sexual connotation!! So it can be heard like "on her" and then plus our surname has an obscene pun basically!!!! I'm actually gutted as it's always been my favourite name but he says he used to get picked on for his surname sounding rude as kids do so he won't let her have Honor as a first name to add to it!!

My Grandmother’s name was Honor. I think it’s a beautiful name.

There are some quite nice ones here but nothing as special or as elegant as Honor I don't think.
