HelpRe: What do honoring names mean to you? :)
in reply to a message by Xena
I always planned on using at least one honoring name (as a MN) but it didn't feel quite as important to me once I was actually pregnant. I like the idea of honoring names, but at the same time I don't want to end up in the position where I have to use a honoring name or a specific name just because I used honoring names with my first child (he got my grandpa's FN as his MN).
My dad is named after his uncle who passed away young, one of his MN is honoring as well. My mother's MN is honoring some aunt or something. Both of my brother's MN's are honoring, and only one of mine (the same name as my mom's MN). So honoring names is pretty common in my family, but nobody would raise an eyebrow if you didn't use a honoring name - my brother didn't do it for his son and nobody cares.
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
