My cousin, who I was very close to, was killed in [name_f]May[/name_f]. Although I was on birth control, we found out several weeks later that I was expecting our third baby. We later found out at our first ultrasound that she is due on his birthday. This is our little blessing and surprise baby. Her name will be [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] (NN: [name_f]Nessie[/name_f]), but stuck on a middle name. Our first is [name_f]Adele[/name_f] (NN: [name_f]Dellie[/name_f]) [name_f]Elisa[/name_f].
If she is born on her due date (my cousin’s birthday), my husband agrees to name her [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] (his name). Otherwise, I would like to name her something that invokes [name_m]New[/name_m] Life, [name_m]New[/name_m] Beginning, etc.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] is a lovely name. [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is such a sweet tribute.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - meaning dawn, which kinda symbolises a new beginning to me.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
My condolences on the death of your cousin. I love that you’re honoring his memory through [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].
Some middle name ideas:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] – “dawn” [name_f]Jane[/name_f]/[name_f]Jania[/name_f]/[name_f]Janie[/name_f] – per Nameberry, “God’s gracious gift” (which seems fitting), but the [name_u]Jan[/name_u]- family also recalls [name_m]Janus[/name_m] or [name_u]January[/name_u], as in new year, doorway, new beginning [name_f]Nova[/name_f] – “new,” as in the birth of a new star (love this meaning) [name_f]Renee[/name_f]/[name_f]Renae[/name_f] – “reborn”; also makes me think of renew, Renaissance [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]/[name_f]Stasia[/name_f] – “resurrection” [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] – “life”
Or you could go with anything in the [name_f]Viva[/name_f], [name_f]Vita[/name_f] or [name_f]Liv[/name_f] families, for “life”:
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Evita[/name_f] – has a nice symmetry with [name_f]Elisa[/name_f] [name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
I like the sound of [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Evita[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f].
I’m sorry for the loss you and your family have faced.
I love tons of the suggestions you’ve already been given but wanted to add that I second [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] as a [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]-style girls’ name that would be pretty with [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] if you come up empty still.
Thanks, everyone! I also love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] as a MN, and I love the suggestion of [name_f]Eve[/name_f] by ceryle. Thank you! I’ll consider all of these.
