I know this is weird but...pastel names???

General Name Discussion
1

I’m 18 and pregnant for the first time, and because the LO will definitely not have the smoothest of entrances into this world (though they are very much wanted and loved!) I want to give them a name that evokes soft, creative, gentle images. Names that fit to me are pastel-colored (like [name_u]Claude[/name_u], which is pastel yellow). More artistic than cerebral, more watercolor than neon etc.

I know this is a weird thread to begin with, but I want to know what names feel “pastel” to you?

I won’t know gender for a while yet, so both boys and girls names are greatly appreciated!! [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!

I have synesthesia with colors so I love this topic! I’m also an INFP too :).

The first name that came to mind for a girl is [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]. I think of it in multiple pastel colors in my mind, and I think it’s so gentle, creative, and beautiful. The names I think of in pastels are:

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]

For a boy, the most pastel names I can think of are:

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]

I wish you lots of luck and love in this adventure!

Thank you all for such thoughtful, beautiful suggestions. I unfortunately miscarried this morning, and I’m not sure if I’ll give the baby a name or not. Regardless, your responses and kind words were so, so appreciated.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I wanted to update you all since you’ve been so supportive and helpful. Though it was too early to know the baby’s gender, I “felt” like it was a girl, and that healing from this miscarriage would be easier if she had a name.

I chose [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Gianna[/name_f]. Because I plan on being a social worker, I chose her first name after the patroness of social workers–[name_m]Saint[/name_m] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. St. [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] [name_f]Beretta[/name_f] Molla, was given the choice to save her life because of medical complications and have an abortion, or have a hysterectomy and risk her health. She chose the latter and died a week later, but her daughter survived. Because of this, [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] is considered the patroness of unborn children and miscarriage. This name just felt like the right way to honor her.

I passed all tissue (a complete miscarriage) on the 19th of [name_f]May[/name_f]. Thus, I count this as the day she flew to heaven. My little [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] touched so many people in the few weeks she was with us, and I hope she is safe up there. And, if she really is a he, that he’s already going by [name_m]Louis[/name_m].
