Re: Honouring using initials
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Unless you're Jewish (for whom this is part of their culture), I don't care for it. If you're going to honor someone, give the kid the honoree's name or nickname. Anything else feels empty, like it's saying, "I love you, but not enough to use your real name when naming my kid. I'll give it your initials and you'll have to imagine it was named for you".
I'm not really into the whole honoring thing, so I wouldn't bother with another honoring name for a second mn.
I can't think of any JS combos at the moment.

Like I say, I know it's something my family would appreciate, at least, and I'm fairly certain the honouree would have too, were they still here.
