[Opinions] Anselm / Helmut
could Anselm honor a Helmut, or is that just too far out there? Originally I was thinking Friedhelm to honor a Friedrich and Helmut at the same time, but then I thought it would be to matchy to have a Friedhelm / Anselm sibsetthoughts?

I think Anselm to honor a Helmut is out there. Friedhelm and Anselm are matchy, but maybe Anselm honoring a Helmut isn't too out there for you and your family - really, whether it's out there or not depends on the people involved. So if that works, then the sibset Anselm and Friedrich is absolutely GORGEOUS!

If Friedhelm already honors Helmut, then why would you need another sibling named Anselm to honor Helmut again? Am I missing something?I do love the idea of Friedhelm being used to honor both Helmut and Friedrich. And I love Anselm too, just not with a Friedhelm.

what I mean is, I don't want to use Anselm if I'd use Friedhelm too.
so I'd either use Friedrich and Anselm (Friedrich obviously honoring a Friedrich and Anselm honoring a Helmut) or just Friedhelm to honor both
I just don't know if Anselm would count for honoring a Helmutsorry if it's really confusing!

Ah, silly me. OK. I get it.If you know that you will keep having kids until you get two boys, then Friedrich and Anselm (honoring Helmut) is my vote. But on the safe side, using Friedhelm to honor two people in one name is tempting. Bottom line: it depends on how many children you will have. Not much help. :-/

Obsessing about names is what we do here. Don't apologize. That's the fun of the place. We all do it. :-D I wish more 15 years olds would think as far ahead as you are doing. I wasn't nearly as advanced at your age.

I was asking my mom a couple days ago what she thought she was going to name her kids when she was my age and she said "I never even wanted kids"
When I was younger I deffinitely didn't want any but I still named them! haha
I kept asking questions about names for 15 minutes and she couldn't ever come up with a real answerI was shocked to find out that not everyone thinks about this all the time!

Hmm. I didn't know there was a connection and had to look up the meanings. So if you're okay with the honoring being subtle and needing to be explicitly stated in order for people to know, then sure so for it. If you want it to be obvious, maybe you need to keep looking. Anselm is a great name though.
