FIL subtly mentioned he would be honored if we used (would be a middle name) the name of his mother, Irene for our next DD. The name is pronounced in the German way - Ireneh - i.e. the e is pronounced, which I like better than the “magic e” pronounciation of Irene.
Does anyone have any variants or related names? There is not pressure for us to use the name, it would be a sweet gesture though and she passed away a few years ago, was a lovely old brave lady and saved a life or two during WWII.
