Hey fellow mumsnetters! I’ve got DD Charity and second on the way, due end of August. 2nd is another girl and DH and I love Honor? Love to hear your thoughts! Surname Littlejohn.

Thank you for all the responses! This has given us a lot to think about.

I love the suggestions of Liberty, Destiny, Trinity and Felicity, but am worried they sound too similar to Charity?

Middle names are/gonna be Grace, Hope, Faith, Joy. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Ball?

The three graces are Faith, Hope and Charity. All beautiful names.
My aunt was Grace Constance which IMO is a beautiful name.

Honor is beautiful but with your surname it sounds like "on her little John"...which might raise eyebrows (particularly at potty training age!)

Honour is beautiful.
I agree with other PP about faith, hope, grace, liberty, felicity

Other ideas

joy
patience
trinity
destiny
prudence

Honor isn’t for me, but it could grow on me.

Harmony
Verity
Faith
Hope
Joy

All of these and feel the same about Charity and Honor.

I think you cannot go wrong with Grace.

Faith and Charity or Joy and Charity is bit too twee.

Honor is up there with Charity as a terrible name to sadle someone with. It's not awful particularly in the context of Charity as their sibling.

Prudence?
There was a Blessing at our school.
Blithe/Blythe.

And I do like Honor. Could also be Honora which leads into Hannah.

LucasBuck · 04/08/2025 22:37

Honor works really well, although the obvious sibset names for Charity are Faith or Hope 😀

Mumofgirls2017 · 04/08/2025 22:34

Ooh love honor. Also

hope
grace
faith
destiny
liberty
