Could I?

[Lawyerd]

Is it cringey to use another modern virtue name for my child when I am part of a sibset with two virtue names?

I wanted a name almost after me but not directly by using my name, so thought the link was lovely but wondering if people would cringe.

Honor/Honour is the name I'm considering.

I ADORE Honor.

Are you and your sister called Hope and Faith by any chance? I know a few Hopes with Faiths as sisters. I think they're all lovely names and it's a nice connection to you

It's cute go for it

Honor is such a lovely name.
And a nice connection to you and your sibling too

I like it.

Honor is fab. I don’t think it matters what you’re called as long as it’s not too close in sound to Honor. Same with your sister’s name, plus not many people she meets will know all three.

I think Honour is lovely. I’d go for the British spelling.

Is your/your sister’s name Prudence? I love it and it’s so underused.

Honor / Honour is an underused beauty - it’s on my list. Also like Honora. Go for it.

Use the Honor spelling and check that is doesn't sound silly with the surname (not Honor Wall/Hill/Moore etc)

I think it's a great name - go for it

Honor is a really lovely name, you should use it i you love it! One of the very coolest women I know is called Honor.

I definitely wouldn't cringe. I think it's a lovely thing to do.

Honor is lovely. Definitely spell it that way.

Honor is really lovely. It should be spelled that way, honour isn't a name.

Thanks all. Would you all know to spell the name as Honor? Would that be your automatic spelling? And do you think people would say "on her" in future?

Only met one Honor, she'll be 18 now. Lovely girl and lovely name.

I'd do it

Love the name Honor.

I have a Joy.

@Sexnotgender I absolutely love Joy too!

I love the name Honor - it’s been a bit fashionable for a while and I think will pick up speed.

It’s correctly (and almost always) spelt Honor when it’s a name, and it would be a pain for her to spell it any other way. I assume it was the old English spelling (as many US spellings and words are.)

Thank you. It suits her down to the ground. We’ve had so many positive comments on it.

Use the Honor spelling and check that is doesn't sound silly with the surname (not Honor Wall/Hill/Moore etc)

Haha, 'Honor Pike' really wouldn't be good!!

OP I love the name too. Very pretty.

It’s a lovely name.

And a nice link if you and your sibling have virtue names too, without being cringy.

Verity is another one, if you’re still at the shortlisting stage.

Thanks so much, I also like Constance. I wanted a link that was personal but not really obvious (I guess it is a little but still special). Honor I think is my favourite because it is a bit more unusual

Constance is lovely but only if you like Connie.

It's fine imo. For a start, some people won't even know what your sister is called, but even so I don't see that it's a big deal - some families stick with Biblical names for example, others Classical (Ancient Roman/ Greek) ones. Just be aware that if you start a "theme", if you have a 2nd DD and there isn't another virtue name you like, depending on 2nd DD's personality she might be annoyed! (there are fell commonly used virtue boys names so it's less likely to matter for a DS).

Oh and I'd definitely use the Honor spelling, seems the most well known.

few not fell!, sorry
