+3 "Namesake" means the exact same spelling.  Pronunciation can be different according if in a different language but the spelling has to be identical.  [/quote]

Stop saying she is her namesake. Just say you chose the name in honor of her but acknowledge that it’s not the same. My daughter’s middle name is after her deceased grandmother and I wanted to change it to a shorter version because I thought it would go better with her first name (think Kate instead of Katie) but my husband insisted we use the actual nickname or not at all. We went with it at his request and even though I would have preferred the other version, I agree now that this was the best way to honor his mom. And her side of the family is very happy that we used her exact nickname and tend to refer to our daughter by  both first and middle name. [/quote]
