Goess
Sorry for two posts so close - last one today, promise!My mom's maiden name is Goess. If I would ever use a family name, I'd use this to honor my mom's entire family (for good reason).Anywho: pn is similar to Grace, but more of a "gay" sound - so gayce.Would you use it as a girl's middle name or boys? Which of my names do you think it fits best with?Roderick
Alaric
Ambrose
Emeric
Lazarus
Esmond
Isidor Isidora
Evren
Liora

I have to first admit that when I quickly scanned the new threads on the board, I thought "Goess" said "Gross", eep! I think that honouring names can fit in the mn slot on either boys or girls. And the pronunciation is pleasing enough that it flows nicely.Pairing it with your faves, I personally like:Isidor Goess
Esmond GoessIsidora Goess

With that pron, I would definitely use it as a girls middle name. Liora Goess would be nice.

I'd use it as a boys' mn, simply because it is a surname and they almost always work better on boys, imo.

I love Isidora and Ambrose.
