Two weeks ago we lost our second [name_m]Baby[/name_m] at 8 weeks. We feel like the [name_m]Baby[/name_m] whould have a name and are having a hard time coming up with Names that feel right. We do not want to use a [name_f]Name[/name_f] we might use for a futre [name_f]Earth[/name_f] [name_m]Child[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
Maybe a neutral [name_f]Name[/name_f] that does not sound tooo out there. Should have a beautiful meaning either with a connection to the bibel or a different beautiful and fitting [name_f]Name[/name_f].
I’m so sorry for your loss – my prayers go out to you and your family
[name_f][/name_f]

I am so sorry for your insurmountable loss @88Claire[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]. There are never enough words to help you grieve the loss of your child [name_f][/name_f], your love [name_f][/name_f], to help you through the loss of your dreams and visions of what your future should be. [name_f]My[/name_f] heart is with you. And please remember it’s ok to be vulnerable and feel all your feelings [name_f][/name_f].

For us [name_f][/name_f]- we named our daughter after our favourite vacation spot and gave her a gender neutral middle name that honoured 2 significant people in our lives ( my mom and the friend that introduced us) [name_f][/name_f]. [name_f]She[/name_f] was born still at 22 weeks
[name_f][/name_f]
I hope you found the perfect name for your sweet angel. I find comfort in bringing up our angels name and keeping her in conversations [name_f][/name_f]. [name_f]She[/name_f] is was and will always be apart of our family and I hope you find the same comfort
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] could be good if you don’t mind the slight gendering towards female. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is the goddess of the rainbow and Hera’s personal messenger in Greek myths.
