HelpRe: Hypothetical honoring question
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
My favorites:
Allana - like Alanna in sound, but with his spelling - this would get my first pick apart from just using Allan/Allyn (see below) - and I don't think the spelling's weird, btw, I think it looks lovely :)
Alanna (because Tamora Pierce and her characters are awesome, agreed)
and three others to think about:
Ally - short and sweet
Allyn - know you don't love the 'y' ones, but this is close to his but a little more "girly" looking, i guess
Allan - since it's a family honoring name, you could just treat it like a surname. Allan has a nice sound for a girl or boy (like Ryan, which I've seen used for girls), so if you like it by itself in original form, I say go for it!
The others, while nice, are less obviously attached to his mn or quite a bit different, so I personally probably wouldn't use them. (Allena would be nice, but since he doesn't spell it Allen, and I'm particular about things like that, it would annoy me - haha)
