I’m hesitant to use any name ending in ‘ia’. That sound is always going to be reminiscent of illnesses. There are some exceptions of course, but I don’t think Honoria is one of them.

Lady Honoria was a mischievous noblewoman in Frances Burney’s pre-Victorian novel, Cecilia. It’s an interesting name and could certainly be used. I prefer the more concise version, Honora.Re some of the other comments: I can see how this name might sound like a disease, to someone who is illiterate.
My husband's name is Honorio, since they don't have this site I will comment under the female version. I personally like the name, and the meaning, but my husband grew up in Mexico, where the name isn't very common. He never liked his name, but when I look at it I think of the word Honor. He also has trouble with English speakers pronouncing it right, since in Spanish the H is silent.
