Baby Names

baby girl name in honor of father

My dad passed away 3 days ago, and my daughter is due on 7/29. I am really trying to incorporate my dads name (Martin) into her middle name but I'm having a tough time coming up with anything feminine. His full name was Martin Charles and he went by "Buddy". Any suggestions??

  • Wow, I am so sorry to hear that! T&P to your family.

    Martine
    Martina
    Charlotte (the feminine for Charles)

    EDD for #1: 3/19/17

  • Maybe use your maiden name for her middle name? Or perhaps Martina


  • Martina would be the feminine of Martin and as suggested you can use Charlotte for Charles.

  • I like Martina or Martine; also can suggest Charlene or Charlotte
  • I'm so sorry for your loss! In my family (we're Jewish) it's common to use the first initial to honor a relative - my first and middle initials are both for family members. You could pick an M name to honor your father.

  • I'm sorry for your loss. I think Charlene is a nice female, Idk if it is the exact version, version of Charles. Charlotte is wonderful too. My father passed away when I was one, and my older cousin was very close to him. She and I are due around the same time and she has asked me to name her potential daughter after my dad. His name was Darren, so if she has a girl, she will name her Darryn. I think your idea is wonderful. I hope it all works out for you :).

  • Sorry for your loss, OP. I also think Martine or Martina would be a nice sentiment to your dad. Or maybe even Marlene?

  • I like the suggestions of Martina, Charlotte, and Charlene. Maybe Margaret?

    I like the suggestions of Martina or Charlotte
  • Other possibilities:
    Martha
    Marsha
    Mary
    Margaret
    Margot

    Or stick with the same initials, like Madeline Claire
