Honor Harrington

That is just how Honor showed herself at first to David. He had the name Honor before the last name. He knew that if the Honor novels were a success, she would get compared to Horatio Hornblower and picked her name so that both Horatio and Honor had the same initials. The series is about Honor Harrington, who is a military heroine before becoming an influential politician during a period of extreme interstellar tension and change.
