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

I love it, it’s one of our front runners if this baby is a girl.

RickOShay · 23/11/2019 19:47

I absolutely love Honor, I really wish I’d thought of it for dd.
It’s just so lovely.

NoFun21 · 23/11/2019 20:04

Really lovely.

Jingers5 · 23/11/2019 20:14

Lovely name

GeoffreyAndBungle · 23/11/2019 20:23

Love it! Ds would have been Honor if he was a girl.

CottonSock · 23/11/2019 20:26

I know a lovely Honor too.

Inthemoment38 · 23/11/2019 20:27

It's great

It is the last name I would think of as being a bit american. Have never met or heard of an american Honor.

I like it. Had a friend growing up with that name (she had a great surname too so the two together were lovely)

Gorgeous.

bridgetreilly · 23/11/2019 23:18

Beautiful name. Always spelled Honor, not Honour.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 23/11/2019 23:19

Beautiful

Really pleased with the feedback. I didn't think it'd get such a positive reaction x

I’m not keen. I don’t think I’d want to be called a name that begins with a silent letter. It just seems... unnecessarily complicated.

Maywedding · 24/11/2019 17:41

VenusClapTrap yes but a lot of the English language is not phonetically spelt.
I don't see this as an issue. But interesting point to Consider

I like it in theory, but to be honest I wouldn't use it - it's just a bit stern I think.

I'd go for Hebe which is similar but just has a nicer sound.

commanderdalgliesh · 24/11/2019 18:54

I really like this and wanted it for my daughter but oh didn't like it.

commanderdalgliesh · 24/11/2019 18:55

Ended up with Anna which is close I suppose

june2007 · 24/11/2019 18:59

I would spell it Honour. Since were in the uk. But nice name.

Waxlyrically · 24/11/2019 19:02

I’m biased my Mum was called Honour ( spelt the English way).

Cynara · 24/11/2019 19:06

I worked with an Australian Honor in my early 20s (in the UK). I'd never heard the name before but now associate it with a beautiful, intelligent woman. Lovely name and it was on my baby name list but DC was a boy.

RedRec · 24/11/2019 19:09

It is a beautiful name.

june2007 · 24/11/2019 19:14

I surprised so many haven,t heard of it. Think of the actress Honour Blackman. (Miss Pussy Galore.)

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 24/11/2019 19:15

Round here up north it would be pronounced 'Onor but if you are southern I'd say its ok southerners wouldn't pronounce the H.

I've know a few, beautiful name.

lilgreen · 24/11/2019 19:17

Down south it’s pronounced onor too! Hmm

PolarCats · 24/11/2019 19:17

I like it but prefer Honoria (meaning woman of honour)
