Hi All! I am 28 weeks pregnant with a miracle baby girl (after 11 total years of infertility - 4 until my son was born (age 7 now) and of course years following his birth). We went through round after round of IVF and had several heartbreaking losses in that time. Our sweet boy, Luca James is finally getting a sibling and we are all over the moon happy to welcome this new little soul into our family. We have several names on the list, and Celia isn’t 100% “the name” because we want to meet her first. BUT, it is our top name at the moment. I feel like it fits well with Luca and I can articulate both easily when saying them together. We LOVE the meaning (especially after our journey) and love how it’s unusual, lovely and approachable. The trouble is the middle name. Can you all give some thoughts and opinions?
Currently some of the middle names on our list for Celia are:
Moon (we have our son/sun and she is our moon)
Ruby
Journey
Pearl
Caroline
Claire
Rain
Iris (Celia Iris - meaning Heavenly Rainbow; she is a rainbow baby after loss)
Bloom
Skye
So nature names are definitely a love, but meaningful names also rank up there. I hope that is enough to get you started. I can’t wait to see your suggstions! I know this is the place to ask - and I’ve been waiting for years to ask!! So grateful!! Thank you in advance!!!
Congratulations! What a beautiful list of middle names you have. They all seem great in their different ways. Meanings aside my favourites are [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], which has a lot of beauty and strength, [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I know a young girl called [name_u]Journey[/name_u] and have often thought it a lovely choice.
I don’t immediately have others to suggest, but may come back.
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] primrose
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] jade
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] sage (to much s?)
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] kiava (so idea where that came from lol)
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] kai (hawaiian for ocean, so “heavenly sea” )
[name_f]My[/name_f] vote, of course, still goes to [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], though! Such a beautiful and meaningful name.
Congratulations! Your list is great! I love [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f], and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] from your list. Those combos are to die for.
Congratulations!!! [name_f]Celia[/name_f] is beautiful, and it fits so well.
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] would be cute if you like meaningful names, as would [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]. But perhaps a bit too on the nose.
Other names
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f] and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] are so beautiful. But [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] has the sweetest meaning by far. If you are looking for some other suggestions:
I love [name_f]Celia[/name_f] so much but couldn’t use it for my daughter for family reasons. The combo I had wanted was [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_u]Byrd[/name_u] which you might like. Of your proposed options I love [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] both because of the lovely meaning and because of the sounds. Good luck with your decision!
I love [name_f]Celia[/name_f] Wren!!! [name_f]Heavenly[/name_f] [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Bird[/name_u]! We also have [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] on the list too - I forgot to add that one to the original post. [name_u]Love[/name_u] your list and suggestions! Thank you so much!
I love the sound of [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f] and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f] but it sounds like [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] would be most fitting. All of these are lovely options!
Thank you in advance!!!
