I really like the name Eileen. My great-grandmother had this same name, so I wouldn't mind using it as an honoring name. Generally, I'm not keen on honoring, but since she is my great-grandmother, I think it's far back enough to use without bringing up confusion at family reunions, for example.Of the combos, I like:Eileen Cora
Eileen Ermengarde (so pretty...)
Eileen Hazel
Eileen Mabel
Eileen Marigold (also really pretty)
Eileen Sylvia
Eileen Ursula
Eileen Verity

And there's "Come on, Eileen" as well! Dexie's Midnight Runners. Very cheerful, football-anthem kind of song.
