Honor

Succinct but impactful, Honor is a virtue name with a lot going for it:

• It’s indicative of greatness, respect, success, and worthiness — just like Merritt, Glory, Prosper, and Chosen.

• It celebrates integrity, honesty, and morality — in the same way Justice, Noble, and Verity do.

• Similar to names like Prince, Royal, Judge, and Princess, it feels like a title — as in, “Your Honor”.

• It’s rare but recognizable in the US, given to around 160 babies in a recent year.

• While it leans feminine in the UK, where it ranked in the Top 1000 until 2018 and has very rarely been used for boys, in the US it is a gender-neutral name, chosen for 75 girls and 88 boys in 2025, meaning it’s split 46:54.

• It could be an unexpected way to “honor” an Eleanor.

• It comes with charming nickname Honey — or perhaps even Nor or Nora
