What is with people and the names they choose for their children, I guess I should say celebrities because there are not a lot of kids named, Apple, Coco, Moses, Lyric, Chastity or Poet running around the preschools that my children attend. I do happen to DESPISE the name that Jessica Alba and Cash Warren chose for their child, Honor Marie Warren. It is not about the name itself, but what the name means. Honor is something that I believe must be earned, and I know all about parents and their unconditional love for their child, BUT AS A FORMER TEACHER, this just irks me. I would say that of the students I taught, maybe 40% of them grasped the concept of honor and maybe I could handle calling them Honor, but the other 60%, and I think I am being generous here, I wouldn't call Honor if you paid me a million dollars. I had a student named Precious once, and she was FAR FROM IT, but what else was I going to call her, this has been a touchy subject since then???? PARENTS THESE DAYS!!

I'm sooo laughing at this! Too funny! See, I actually love the name. But like I said b4, this was my great-grandmothers name, and a family name for us. I even considered it for Katarina! I look at it as it's an Honor to be the parent of that child. It's an Honor that God has chosen you to be a parent. It would be the same as if you named your child Grace or Hope - and those are really popular names. But I do agree that these celebs pick some funky names sometimes for their kids!
I never even thought of Grace or Hope, good point!!! Was it your great-grandmother's first, middle or last name!?? I am going to have to do some research on this name! I love that we can agree to disagree, something Karissa and I do daily!
It was her first name - Honor Jane Mehrens. I thought of naming Katarina - Honor Jean (my middle name) Magill. Then they would have had the same initials!
there is a little girl named Honor at church, she's cute as could be but I agree the name is off.
