All the mn's I suggested were honoring.
Leona is a distant family name for my husband. My name is
Marisa and both my mom and my husband's mother's name starts with the letter L so
Larisa could honor all three of us. Mariela would keep with the tradition of using
Mar- names on my mom's side of the family. In the family we have
Maria,
Marie,
Mariana,
Marian,
Mary, and
Marisa (me). My great grandmother on my father's side of the family was named
Ella. I like that the spelling Mariela works in Spanish and English. I also like the spelling
Mariella but it doesn't work in Spanish. I go back and forth about using a
Mar- name as a fn or a mn. I like
Marguerite,
Marceline,
Marcela, and Mariela.
