Where does Honna derive from? Is it a nn for Honor?

Nope, I just like the sound better than Hanna / Hannah.

I actually saw one once, on a name list at a conference. I tried the whole conference to guess who she might be. From her last name I would assume she was Indian, or married to someone from India.

The H is pronounced in Honna, so Honor wouldn't work. An alternate spelling of Honne would work though, or a full name of Honnalee / Honalie would too.

Francine.... Francine.... hmmm, I'm gonna have to sit on that one for awhile. I want to like it more than I currently do but I foresee it REALLY growing on me. Frances almost made the list this month but I just don't LOVE it. Francine could get me there. HEART EYES at Ismene ;) Not one I ever expect to see in top 10s. How would you pronounce it? From the boys I like Evren and Dashiell

I always say iz-meen. Though, I am sure there are a lot of ways to pronounce it.

We briefly considered Ismene when we were pregnant with Nadine, but my niece has a middle name Esmie and my sister went up in arms because they sounded similar.

I seem to be the only person on these boards who finds Evren more feminine than masculine! Hmmmm...

I would say that the majority of people on name boards seem to live Evren better on girls.

I like it on both, but it's my top name for boys, and not for girls.
