[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Guys,
My friend needs a girls name that means “clinging to life” or “hanging on” or something like that. I thought it would be easy to find but I wasn’t able to come up with a single suggestion! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you can find something. I know some of you are really good with Greek or Celtic names. Thanks!!!

What about “strong”?
[name_f]Neima[/name_f] (Hebrew, “strong”)
[name_f]Rita[/name_f] (Hindi “brave, strong”)
[name_f]Valencia[/name_f] (Spanish “brave, strong”)
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] (Latin, “healthy, strong”)
[name_f]Adira[/name_f] (Hebrew “strong”)
[name_f]Valeria[/name_f] (Latin “strong, vigorous”)
[name_f]Drucilla[/name_f] (Latin “strong”)
Abhinivesa is Sanskrit and means ‘clinging to earthly life; will to live.’ its a big name though
[name_f]Asha[/name_f] means both [name_f]Hope[/name_f] and life which may fit better
[name_m]Just[/name_m] another thought what about [name_f]Hope[/name_f]? Or names that mean hope [name_f]Nadine[/name_f]/[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]/[name_f]Nadya[/name_f]
Courage maybe? [name_f]Valeria[/name_f]/[name_f]Valora[/name_f] mean courage or [name_f]Odeda[/name_f] is a Hebrew name for courageous and then there is [name_u]Riley[/name_u] (Irish for courageous) and all of its variant [name_f]Ryleigh[/name_f]/[name_u]Rylee[/name_u] (the different spellings wouldn’t be my choice but everyone’s different)
[name_f]Ulla[/name_f] prn according to NB oo-la means ‘will and determination.’
Perhaps one of these in combination with one of the names meaning Life. Loving suggestions by @Oceansunrise
and the idea of Strength from @freediethepink
So I just talked to the momma and she said she loved Abhinivesa. Go, figure lol! I let her know that it also sorta means “fear of death” so maybe not exactly a happy-go-lucky name… but she thought it was perfect! She’s going to call her [name_f]Joy[/name_f] Abhinivesa and asked me to thank all of you for your help! I guess non-berries can make up their minds pretty darn quick huh?
Special thanks to gingercat. I would’ve NEVER found that word/name. 
[name_f]Jena[/name_f] is Sanskrit for ‘‘endurance’’.
pn [name_u]Jay[/name_u]-nah or [name_m]Jeh[/name_m]-nah.
