Re: Would you use an honouring name?
in reply to a message by Felie
I think people tend to choose honoring names for family members or friends that they like. It would be strange to choose the name of an Aunt that you hate or something.
That said, I am not superstitious about this. I think honoring is the best naming tradition out there. I really do.
I personally cannot understand giving your child a middle name at all if it doesn't mean something.
That said, I DO love to choose new names so I think that middle names are the best place for honoring names.
The exception to this would be legacy names. Such as 5 generations of elder daughters named Katherine, etc.
RE: superstition. I DO believe that the meaning of a name ebbs into the child's personality.
