In my search to find names that honor I came across Amara. DH's grandma's name is Graciela. Amara apparently means "grace". My questions to you are WDYTO Amara? More specifically Amara Vivian. Do you prefer Viviana Grace? Grace is such a filler name to me so I was thinking it would be nice to use something a bit different with the same meaning. WDYT?

In the supernatural horror novel 'Secrecy Falls' there is a character called Amara, and she is the best character of them all!! Until I read that book this name was sooo nms but since then it has grown on me and now I quite like it.

It reminds me of Amare which is the Latin word "to love" which I definately think is a plus to the name. It's not my style but I don't see anything against it. Amara Vivian sounds very sweet and lovely.

I think Amara Vivian is a great name, especially since Vivian means "alive." It's reminicent of the Jewish tradition of giving a child the middle name Chaim /Chaya, which means "alive," if the first name is for a dead loved one.

Amara is a beautiful name. Amara Vivian is lovely.

Viviana is pretty, but I prefer Amara. I agree that Grace is too filler-ish as a MN.
