Honour is gorgeous.

I really like it and wanted it for one of mine (Honor not the other way though). DH unhelpfully kept saying it reminded him of doner kebab.

I'm not keen on virtue names to be honest. Too puritanical. I feel like honor is a particularly problematic one - a bit too tied up with chastity, purity etc. If i had to choose one, Verity or Felicity are ok.

Honor yes.

Lovely.

I prefer Honora or Annora, for me they avoid the British vs American spelling issues a bit and feel more like full names.

Lovely, but I’m biased as I have an Honour. Did not want the American spelling. It’s a beautiful name.

VenusClapTrap · 21/06/2021 08:46

Don’t like it

Gorgeous name, I love it, only ever known the Honor sp. as in, the late Honor Blackman, great actress. So I wouldn’t think Honor as an American sp. if you choose the name, spell it however you prefer. Congrats & good luck with your pregnancy OP Flowers

My ggg grandmother was Honor ; not American.

Lovely name, unusual, but not unheard of. It was spelt Honour in my family, but mumsnet consensus seems to be that Honor is the only spelling.

KirstenBlest · 21/06/2021 18:33

Honor. Watch how it goes with the surname.

Huginamugg · 21/06/2021 18:42

Love it.
