[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Honor
I really like Honor / Honour for a girl. It is among my favorite virtue/ word names. Honora is cute, but Honoura seems unnecessarily drawn out.
Have you read the Beauty & the Beast retelling by Robin McKinley? In the book, Beauty's real name was Honour and her sisters were Grace and Hope. Personally, having that many virtues personified in a family would be a bit much, so I would choose less word like names for the siblings.Sibling sets:
Althea, James & Honour (g,b,g)
Honour, Florence & Rodrick (g,g,b)
Beatrix, Honour & Milo (g,g,b)
Emrys, Honour, & Alaric (b,g,b)If you did want all the siblings to have virtue names, then Vera, Constance, Felicity, Clement, and Sage

So, the siblings don't have to have virtue names! Though I do love Charity, and Verity, and Blythe... I have not read that, but it very much interests me.. I'll have to look it up, and thank you for the recommendation!!
