What do you guys think of the name Honor? I've always liked it but don't know if it's actually a good/nice name or not?! Definitely over thinking it Wink

Your feedback would be great x

Love it, once cared for a baby Honor and she was such a sweet natured little girl

As long as you don't mind the inevitable (obviously hilarious) catcalls of guys wanting to get "on her" then go for it.

Is it also spelled Honor here in the UK? Isn't that the American spelling?

PrincessHoneysuckle · 23/11/2019 17:46

Round here up north it would be pronounced 'Onor but if you are southern I'd say its ok

Pooshweens · 23/11/2019 17:58

Lovely, although a bit American

Thinkingsticks · 23/11/2019 18:00

I like it Smile x

Thetimetravelerswife · 23/11/2019 18:53

I find it a bit posh. I personally wouldn’t use it, but it’s nice.

daisypond · 23/11/2019 19:04

It’d be pronounced without the H down south, surely, too. I like it.

Maywedding · 23/11/2019 19:08

Thanks for the feedback. No issue with it being considered American... I find that that's seen as a bad thing on here!
I'm definitely not posh and wouldn't consider it posh but maybe because I don't know any Honors.

I like it.

@Alarae the name Honor is Honor, the word is honour, is the UK. Smile

IHeartKingThistle · 23/11/2019 19:10

Love it. I'd love to be called Honor!

Ikeameatballs · 23/11/2019 19:11

Lovely

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 23/11/2019 19:11

Surely Honor is pronounced Onor everywhere?

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 23/11/2019 19:12

It’s lovely, by the way.

Sexnotgender · 23/11/2019 19:12

Love it.

daisypond · 23/11/2019 19:13

It’s not American.

lilgreen · 23/11/2019 19:14

Oooh love it. I have only known one and she was smart, shy and beautiful Smile

RandDandC · 23/11/2019 19:15

Love it, it’s on our short-list!

DramaAlpaca · 23/11/2019 19:16

I think of it as a beautiful, elegant name.

RaininSummer · 23/11/2019 19:16

As I say it to myself, the more it grows on me.
