Honoria sounds a bit like honorarium.

ah-NOH-ree-uh - this must be the name with an American accent (were you looking on an American website?) Surely the first syllable is "o" as in dog, not "ah", if you're English.

Honor is very pretty.

My gran is called Honora (pronounced On-ooor-ra) I think its a beautiful name, prettier than Honor, not as fussy/poncey as Honoria

I have a family friend Honoria. She's in her twenties now. It's a great name! It's pronounced Hon-OR-ia (emphasis on middle syllable).

I like Honora but probably because I LOVE Nora.

I'm surprised at myself, but I like it. I don't usually like old-fashioned names, and I don't really like Honor, but Honoria is cool!

I like it and would pronounce it Hon-OR-ia. Lovely and undersused!

Lady Honoria Lawrence, wife of Sir Henry Lawrence, was quite the woman. I think it is a great name.
