HelpRe: Honora
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
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.
