I really like it as well, but i'm not 100% sure its still useable. I'd consider it as a mn though - Beatrix Honora is stunning!

Honora Vivienne is one I am considering if I ever have a daughter as there are 2 Vivians in my family worth honoring.

I do not find it particularly understated. I find this name very stuffy and awkward actually, and cannot picture it on a young girl. All I can envisage is a bitter, rotund woman in an 1840s-style black widow gown (a hideous one). I doubt it is one I will ever like.

is it weird..that I totally love that image you summoned up?! Great Aunt Honora sounds like a fun old bat to hang out with. I bet she's got lots of cats! She just needs a hug. A nice, proper, Victorian hug.

Wow!What an antithetical image! It sounds so youthful to me.

It is also the name of Yvonne's mother in the film Heavenly Creatures, a very disturbing piece. While the character of the tragic Honora doesn't fit perfectly with my prior description, she is nonetheless rotund and matronly.

Nice, and most of your combos work very well. Honora Blanchefleur is indeed very awesome! and I also like Honora Mabel and Honora Lilias.

I really like the way Annora sounds, but I'll be honest and say that if I came across this name I would probably butcher it dreadfully, because my natural instinct is to say it "ONNER-uh" which is not nearly as pretty :(Nevertheless, these are very beautiful:
Honora Benjamine
Honora Blanchefleur - yay Blanchefleur!
Honora Celestine
Honora Eloise
Honora Eulalie
Honora Gwendolen
Honora Juliet - love this, my fave
Honora Lavender
Honora Millicent
Honora Sylvie
