spinoff: another name question regarding an "old" name

i would like to honor my mom, by using her name in some form for one of my babies.

her name is really not in-style at all and i think it would be really tough on a child to have.

it's phyllis, "modernized" from filomena.

any suggestions of "f" names that could be cool, besides fiona.

tia!!!!

I know a girl named Fallon - she is a gorgeous young girl in her 20's, so it has a good connotation to me!

What about using it for a middle name? That is what I am doing with my mom's name- Carol.

Re: spinoff: another name question regarding an "old" name

I love the name Faith. I think it is very feminine and old world without being "old lady"-ish.

Re: spinoff: another name question regarding an "old" name

We wanted to honor Dh's mom who passed away, but her name was "old" sounding too, so we made it the middle name: Lily Miriam.
