After 3 consecutive miscarriages, we are expecting again. I am nervous but very thankful for this blessing. I need help with middle names. I want something that has a meaning to honor our losses or the journey we have been on. So far I have looked up names that have meant strength (obviously we’ve had a lot of that) or names that mean “from God,” “blessing,” or “this child was wanted.” The only name I have found out of that search that I have loved is [name]Bridget[/name]. Also, I am due in [name]March[/name] 2013 and have considered an Irish middle. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
First name will be:
Girl: [name]Serena[/name] or [name]Bridget[/name]
Boy: [name]Thatcher[/name]
I like the sound of [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Serena[/name] and [name]Serena[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]. Other ideas might include:
[name]David[/name] - “beloved”
[name]Malachi[/name] - “my messenger” /“angel”
[name]Victoria[/name] or [name]Vincent[/name] - could have meaning in your ultimate victory and strength of having a child
[name]Lucky[/name] names -
[name]Felicia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
Blessed names -
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] -(also nice because it can mean “traveller” since you mention the journey that you have had to make)
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Benedict[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name] -Irish variation of [name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Edric[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Simon[/name] (means “he has heard” which you could interpret as your prayers having been heard and answered in this child)
Strength names -
[name]Alastriona[/name] - Irish fem. version of [name]Alexander[/name] (al-as-TREE-na)
[name]Treasa[/name] (Irish Gaelic)
[name]Valeria[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Angus[/name] - Irish - “one strength” - I love this one for you.
[name]Conall[/name] (“strong wolf” in Gaelic -might work as an Irish middle name)
[name]William[/name]
“Gift” names -
[name]Darina[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Jesse[/name]
Mattan
[name]Theodore[/name]
Irish names that I recommend:
[name]Finola[/name]
[name]Honora[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Neve[/name]
[name]Nora[/name] / [name]Norah[/name]
[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Dermot[/name]
[name]Desmond[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Fergus[/name]
[name]Lorcan[/name] - “little fierce one” - another one I really like for you

[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] is a fabulous and underused name! Beautiful choice! I like [name]Serena[/name] too. I’m wishing you all the best
I like the following combos:
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Serena[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Nora[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Samantha[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Serena[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Serena[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Serena[/name] [name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name] is Greek for life…I think that would be a lovely middle name.
[name]Chloe[/name] is Greek for spring…spring is the season of new life.
Any spring name would be most fitting, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Hope[/name] is a really uplifting name as well…I love [name]Serena[/name] [name]Hope[/name]!
Best wishes!
[name]Sallie[/name]
Adding my vote for [name]Serena[/name] [name]Hope[/name] 
[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] is pretty too. [name]Aurora[/name] means [name]Dawn[/name] and the dawn always brings a new day!
If you wanted to run your two chosen girl names together though - I think [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Serenity[/name] is lovely.
For boys…
[name]Azariah[/name] [name]Thatcher[/name] ([name]Azariah[/name] means helped by God)
[name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Thatcher[/name] ([name]Barnaby[/name] means son of comfort)
[name]Josiah[/name] [name]Thatcher[/name] ([name]Josiah[/name] means God heals)
[name]Thatcher[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] ([name]Zachary[/name] means He has remembered)
Wishing you happiness x
