Re: What do honoring names mean to you? :)
in reply to a message by Xena
Honoring names are one of those subjects that I don't think much of. It's' nice to honor but at the same time, I don't believe it's a critical necessity. Just something that you either strongly wish to do or not wish to do.
At the moment, the only honoring name that I can see myself using (and likely will giving if I'm ever blessed with a baby girl) would be 'Faye' after my late mother whom I was very close with. My family doesn't keep really keep a tradition of using honoring names as only a scattering of members here and there have them. (Mae, Leroy, James, Lee being just some of them. All middle names) Sometimes one is used, other times they aren't.

I think that honoring names do mean the most when they are after someone you care about very much, like in the case of your mother.
