Honoring family...need help

edited February 2017 in Baby Names
I am trying to find a few names that honor some family members on my side of the family as we used a family name for my first son on my husband's side of the family. 

Open to suggestions for FN's or MN's. Also I am not 100% set on these actual names, any alternate spellings  or nicknames will be considered.

Girl - Heide, Lola, Edythe, Kae, Jane, Bonnie, Naomi, Melinda, Joy, Marie, Tesha, Ardy, Ester, Florence

Boy - Bryan, Donald, Dean, Daniel, David, Rodney, Vernon, Layne, Kramer,

    Joy, Jane, and Florence are nice middle names. They'd work with pretty much any fn of your choice. Dean, Daniel, and David are nice mn for boys. I don't love any of them as first names, but Jane, Joy, or Dean are ok. I would choose a fn you like and use a family mn.

    Are you purposely spelling names wrong to be cutesy?

    It was a straightforward question, no need to read into it with your own insecurity. 

    Then are they misspelled because they are matching how a family member spelled them?

    Here's a helpful tip

    If you get upset and defensive when someone randomly questions a non traditional spelling of a name you are considering, don't use it. When using a unique spelling of a name you will run into a lifetime of correcting people and more importantly your child will. You can't get upset and say people are being rude. 
    I second this. Also, your OP stated that alternate spellings will be considered so it can still be a wonderful honor to your family. I'm not one to judge any spellings, but you can't be offended when people question the spellings.

    Girl- Naomi Marie I think is pretty, I don't like Ester Florence or Ardy.
    Boy- Lane Daniel (don't like the Layne spelling), I don't like Kramer Rodney or Donald.

    I wasn't being rude. You specifically wrote you were open to alternative spellings. You brought the spelling issue up.
