It is a beautiful name - it always makes me think of Robin McKinley's book Beauty - it's a wonderful retelling of Beauty and the Beast. In it the two older sisters are Grace and Hope with Honour as the youngest. When she's old enough to understand the meanings of the sisters names, she grumpily says "I'd rather be Beauty" - and the nickname sticks, much to her distress.
So, of course, her comment is the first thing I think of when I hear the name Honour. I'd have to work at reprogramming my brain before I could use it!!
I think Poppy is amazing. That's the name of one of my favorite YA books starring one of my favorite literary heroines: a deer mouse who battles the despotic owl who killed her boyfriend. She wears an earring and carries a porcupine quill sword. In my opinion, a Poppy is spunky, smart, and fearless. Also, you have a great "how you got your name" story!
One of my friend's was named after her parents' cat, because it was the only name they could agree on. She thought it was a cute story, even in her grumpy teens. Winter is lovely though, and more uncommon (506th) than Willow (96th).
I agree with others who've said to choose a name that isn't a regular noun for the middle name. Especially if the last name is Green/Walker/King/Hall/Hill or any of those other top-thirty noun names. Though if it actually is Winter Smith, she might like this book :)
So I clearly have my mom brain on but your post reminded me of 2 books my son loves:
Perry - https://www.amazon.com/Perry-Paola-Opal/dp/1772290351/ref=nodl_
PJ - https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Being-Bunny-Beginner-Books/dp/0394861027/ref=nodl_
So on that note - it’s a yes from me!
I love Harriet and seriously considered it for my daughter. When she's little you can read her Harriet, You Drive Me Wild and when she's older she'll enjoy Harriet the Spy. Kids can make fun of any name.
https://www.amazon.com/J-R-R-Tolkien-Century-Tom-Shippey/dp/0618257594
In it, he talks about the origin of certain names in a bit that begins "Philologists know the name is not the thing, but the name is a lot closer than other things." and I want to say he says that it comes from Grey-Clad (not grey-home), and the grey-clad was a method of referring to wolves.
It's possible I'm wrong, but Shippey and Tolkien were both philologist scholars of Old and Middle English, so I'm generally inclined to trust them.
(Also, until very recently, googling it pulled up "Graham=Wolf". I remember laughing because a lot of werewolves in fanfic at the time were named Graham, because google. Now that joke just doesn't make sense, and I'm sad)
Obadiah has been one of my favorites since childhood because of the book Thy Friend, Obadiah. Zipporah is also a favorite from this book, where the main character was sometimes called Zippy!
Ava is so popular there is a name book titled “Beyond Ava & Aiden”.

I love Audrey!
My dads name is Clark! Although he spells it Clarke.
If you want a cute children’s book to read to your new baby boy, I highly recommend Clark The Shark!
Ping! I loved that book as a kid.
Karen “Two Two” Brewer! Look who’s getting a graphic novel series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PML62GT/
It's way too close to the word inane for my taste.
However, if you want to consider it, I found this book linked in an article about the goddess (along with a poem wherein she wondered who would plow her vulva, so take that as you will) that purports to gather the pieces of the goddess's story as told by the ancients. I'm seeing a lot of conflation with Ishtar and even Aphrodite, so goodness knows how accurate any of this stuff is.

In Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco, which takes place during the Civil War, Pink is short for Pinkus. In that case, it seems to be derived from the biblical Pinchas (which is used by some prominent Jews but linguistically is probably Egyptian in origin). The more typical Anglicized version of Pinchas is Phineas.
"Roman West" is a terrible name. I mean seriously...

Tip: if you can find a dozen books titled with your proposed name being used as NOT a name, then maybe it's not a good name...
