honoring vs. someone

My husband and I are expecting our first child, a little girl, and we really want to name her for my great-aunt. She is a absolutely amazing person. She’s loving and funny and a bit crazy, and she has such a zest for life. She’s one of the women who raised me, and she’s had such a profound impact on my life. Her name is Zena Ellamae Mary. We like it, but we don’t want to give our daughter the same name, just because we think it would get a little confusing. We don’t want to use just Ella because it’s so popular, and we think Mary would be a little bland as a first name. Could you give us some suggestions for ways to honor Aunt Zany? Thank you! ~Jessica

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
