I agree with this.
My grandmother hated her name (mostly because her father named her and she didn't have a good opinion of him, and since she was a tenth child her name was a bit of an afterthought), not to mention the fact that everyone called here Bara or Barica, but she was thrilled when I told her that I plan to name my future daughter Barbara after her.
The thing is, my wanting to honor her has nothing to do with her particular name and everything to do with my love for her (at least that's how I see honoring).
