Here's a question that was recently asked by poster meghanhaver:

Quote:
My sister passed away 3 and a half years ago from cancer. My husband and I are trying to start a family and would like to honor my sister in the name of our baby. My sister's name is Nicole Lynn. My cousin just had a baby boy yesterday and named him Cole after my sister and that was a name that I liked, but there's nothing I can do about it now. I would like your opinion on how to use my sister's name for a boy or girl name for my child one day. Thanks!

I'm so sorry about your sister. How wonderful that you want to honor her with a baby name. Here are some ideas:

Girl Names
Nicole (why not use it as-is?)
Colette
Nicola
Nicolette
Nicolina
Nicoline
Linda (Lynda)
Lynette

Boy Names
Nicholas
Nico (NEE-ko)
Nick
Lynn (yup, it's also used for boys)
Colin
Claus

I'm with Nancy, if you want to honor your sister you should use her name as is:

Nicole Lynn or Nicholas Lynn

Let other relative use the play on names - Like your cousin others may want to remember her in some way.

Thank you for your input! However, I don't want to name my child Nicole or Lynn, that was my sister's name, I do want to use a play on either or both of those names and I want something unique

I scrambled the letters in Nicole Lynn a bit and came up with:

Coyle
Nile/Nyle
Nell
Nelly/Nelli
Neo
Leo
Elly/Elli
Eli
Leon
Noel
