[Opinions] Re: My Brother's BA
in reply to a message by Zhara
Angelo Jorden is a really handsome name and the honoring is great. Angelo isn't my style, but it's nice that it isn't super trendy and it pairs nicely with Jorden.How is Caliana pronounced? If I were named Angelica and I was going to honor by using a related name for a child I may have gone with Angelina for a dqughter's middle name. For Malik, I am not sure. Malikah isn't my style, but I do like the idea of using related names instead of just having a junior.
In our case:We have considered using Sander for a boy, because it is one letter off from one of my middle names (an unusual surname that doesn't make a good name in it's own right) and we will for sure use George as a middle name this time sort of to honor my husband (it is his confirmation name). His name is Joel and I used to put forward Joelle and Jolie as a girl name options, but he didn't like them. My name is Anna and we discussed Annika and Nancy at various points in time, but not with honoring intent.~Anna~

Yeah, their names are not my style either. Caliana is pronounced kal-ee-AHN-ə (in our case) and I think it is a bit of a mash of the cute nickname "Callie" and the popular ending -ian(n)a. Also, using Confirmation names for honoring is smart! When I made my confirmation I picked Veronica, which I am not a fan of any longer. (My technical full name is Zhara Adelina Veronica, which is a lot of -a endings!)
