HelpRe: how do you feel about using place names and surnames to honour?
in reply to a message by vekalvin
I don't think of place names as honoring, but given with fondness. Though I suppose it's much the same.
My grandmother was from a town called Moriah and I can see using for a girl as a middle name with her in mind.
I also like some Biblical place names in reference to the events there, though I don't think that's what you mean.
With surnames I generally prefer to keep them to the middle name spot if they aren't ones that are commonly used as first names, but my family has largely difficult ethnic names that would be rough in the first name spot. I think it's lovely though. I have a boy name that I love that's one letter off of my mother's maiden name that I like because I think of family with it.
