I need help honoring someone(s) (yeah I know that is grammatically incorrect).  I have for a long time been set on using the name Manning to honor my former-elementary-school-psychologist-turned-friend.  Well, I just found out today that her husband passed away from cancer on February 10th.  What I know of him, I learned from Linda's letters, so I never met him or anything.  Do you think it would be odd if I honored her husband as well as her or should I just stick to honoring her?

I've thought about using a different name with the same meaning, but I want the name to have a direct association with Linda or her husband, Murray.  Can you think of any combined names or something that could work with Linda, Murray and Manning?

You can make several names with the letters of Linda and Murray. For example, Nadia, Mia, Diana or Lydia for females (I'm sure there are others, but it's midnight). I can't think of any names for boys.

Oh, and you could use Manning as a mn? Or Manning as a first for a boy.

i think you should use manning as a mn for a boy or girl. i'm guessing that's their last name - so by using that name, you'd be honoring both of them.

I agree. I don't think twisting around the letters in their first name to a whole new name is really honoring them. Using their last name as a mn is a great idea.

seconded.

Is Manning her last name? Do they not have the same last name? If they do, why not just stick with that? How about Miranda or Amanda?

I think Maura Manning Yourlastname or Myra Manning Yourlastname or Melinda (M for Murray, and then Linda) are all great choices.
