Explanation:

"Notable" means worthy of attention or notice, and "respected" means held in high regard. Both capture the positive and elevated tone of "distinguished". "Approved" just means given official consent, "glorious" is more about splendor or great fame in a grand sense, and "unforgettable" is about being memorable which is different in meaning from "distinguished".
