Honor

[user1492670647]

What does everyone think of the name Honor and do you have any mn suggestions? Thinking of Madeleine as a mn. Thanks all.

Generally I like virtue names but not keen on Honor as it sounds like "on her".

It's nice enough on somebody else's child

I know of a 6 year old Honor. I don't think wow that's weird but equally I don't think oh what a lovely name

Yes it's spelt as Honor all over the world as a name I think which is confusing as the word's usually spelt Honour in the UK.
Really like Madeleine and nn Maddie but makes me think of Madeleine McCann so chose it as a middle name which balances Honor as it's frillier and longer.
Honor Blackman seems like an inspirational lady thedowagercuntess!

allegretto have you heard of people having a lot of issues with this joke due to the sound of the name Honor? I have heard about it and would like to know how much of an issue this is.

I really like it and we considered it. In the end I decided against any virtue names as it seemed a lot to live up to!

Love it! Was on my list but OH wasn't keen.

One of my old school teachers was Honoror. I think thats slightly better than Honor, but not sure I like either.

It's lovely - strong, classy, unusual.

Honor Madeleine sounds beautiful!

It's a beautiful name. I wanted it for DD1 but my DH has no taste

Absolutely love it. Perfect name- unusual
But not made up, lovely sound and meaning.

she offered her honour
he honoured her offer
and all night long
he was on her and off her....

sorry, I'll leave now.

I think the spelling would annoy me. I know you've said it's spelt Honor even in the U.K. but to me the word is honour and Honor just looks incorrect.

Do you think the on her and off her thing is going to will cause Honor receive a lot of jokes and comments like mentioned by dementedma?

Honour Harris of Lanrest - main character in Du Maurier's the king's general. Amazing character - makes me love the name! Go for it!

I like it. I know one.

My daughter is Honor... I think it's beautiful and unusual. People very very rarely misspell it but mainly it gets compliments

Aw thank you for all the lovely comments on the name!

Honor is beautiful.

I haven't heard any jokes OP. I just don't like the sound of it.

I think it's a great name and honour is one of those virtues I'd really want my child to live up to. Honor Madeleine is a lovely combination, too. I'd go for it.

I LOVE it and it's one of my 2 girls names for future use

I know a grown up one but she spells it Honoure which I think is very pretty.

It's a "Cool" name that I think alot of boys would love, you might like Hunter as well.

There's a famous character written by an Irish author - Ross O'Carroll Kelly is the character. He's a caricature of rich (and dim in his case!) South Dublin parents. Honor is his spoilt, bullying little weapon of a daughter.

I can't imagine that people outside Ireland know of Ross, but that's all I can think of when I hear the name.

I know a little honor who gets called honey sometmes, which makes more sense when you see the names written down than when you say them!
