Name to honour Nan

[BBeep]

My Nan's name was Betty Adah Louise. She died last month, a few days before I told everyone I'm pregnant... I was gutted I didn't get to tell her.
She was an amazing, big part of my life. I'd really like to honour her in our baby's name, whether it's a boy or a girl.
DH doesn't like any of those three names though and I'm not sure I do either really. Can you help me think of other names that are similar or somehow related? Like, Ava and Betsy. Or for example, if my Nan's name was the Italian name Marguerita, we could use Daisy as it's a translation, that kind of thing.

Congratulations ons pregnancy Op, !

Lou Betts, Ada
Aday, is a Scottish Galic and Spanish name,

traditional names are having a new found revival.!

Autumn 🍂 like Princess Ann's Grandchild

Ava

What about Elizabeth - Betty is really cute actually.
Betty is due a resurgence.

or Belinda?

Any of the 3 names would make a lovely middle name for a girl.

Louis for a boy. Or Philip, husband of Elizabeth. Or Ely, Eliot as male versions of Elizabeth

I agree, May and Pearl are both great names.

In latin Pearl is Margarita.

Rita is a lovely first or middle name

Could you use Betty as your baby's middle name if you have a girl? Honour makes tend to be middle names. If it's a boy you could go for Louis as a middle name, masculine version of Louise?

if we name the child in honour of her, then it's in honour of her regardless of whether it's her actual name.

Nah

Of course it is

Haha! Unfortunately, that's a personal decision, because I'm not honouring her for your benefit, but for mine 😊 so it honestly doesn't matter.

This was meant to be in reply to scruffington but it didn't quote for some reason

what was your grandmother's maiden name? One of my DC has my grandmother's maiden name as their middle name.

Since Betty comes from Elizabeth, what about another variation of Elizabeth? Isabel, Isabella, Eliza or Beth.

Or perhaps another Hebrew name as both Elizabeth and Adah are Hebrew. A few ideas are Hannah, Leah, Eve, Noah and Eli, but there are plenty more to choose from.

Another idea is to use her initials, BAL. For example, Bella Aurore Lucille or Benny Alexander Lane.

I hope that you find the perfect name in honour of your nan.
