[name]Hi[/name], Berries! My husband and I need help. We are sixteen weeks pregnant, and we’ll find out the gender at our ultrasound in three weeks. Because I was told for 10 years – by four different medical professionals – that I was infertile, our baby is truly an answered prayer! What are some girls’ names that mean “answered prayer” or “God heard our prayer” or something like that? I found several boys’ names with this meaning, but we might be having a girl! The only name I found was [name]Eliana[/name], which is beautiful, but my ex-husband’s niece has that name. Please help?
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Here are some suggestions -
[name]Amaris[/name] - “Promised by God”
[name]Anaya[/name] - “God answered”
[name]Arabella[/name] - “Answered prayer”
[name]Liana[/name] - “God has answered” (might be too close to [name]Eliana[/name], though)
[name]Hannah[/name] - “God’s grace”
[name]Leora[/name] - “light”
[name]Danya[/name] - “Gift of God”
[name]Gianna[/name] - “God’s grace”
[name]Angeli[/name] - “Gift, offering”
[name]Abigail[/name] - “Father’s joy”
[name]Jemima[/name] - “[name]Dove[/name]” (in turn represents peace and kindness)
[name]Anya[/name] - “gift”
[name]Macy[/name] - “Gift of God”
[name]Natania[/name] - “God’s gift”
[name]Jessa[/name] - “God’s grace”
[name]Rianne[/name] - “God is gracious”
[name]Samantha[/name] - “Asked of God”
[name]Samara[/name] - “Guarded by God”
[name]Shana[/name] - God is gracious
[name]Zaria[/name] - “Helped by God”
[name]Zahari[/name] - “God has remembered”
[name]Brielle[/name] - “God is my might”
There is also [name]Grace[/name], [name]Hope[/name] and [name]Faith[/name]. I hope these suggestions help.
All the best in your naming journey.
[name]Hannah[/name]. Not the meaning exactly, but from the [name]Hannah[/name] in the bible who prayed for a baby after infertility. Her son was [name]Samuel[/name].
My favorites from that list are [name_f]Amaris[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Ama[/name_f]) and surprisngly, [name_f]Zaria[/name_f]! Totally not my style but after seeing it I find it fun and quirky.
I also really like [name_f]Rianne[/name_f], [name_f]Macy[/name_f] and [name_f]Gianna[/name_f]. [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is not my style but it is a gorgeous name.
@acw2013- Congrats on your pregnancy! With names that mean “gift from god” you can’t really go wrong with any that you choose, they are all beautiful for their meaning alone. Best of luck!!!
The only name I found was [name]Eliana[/name], which is beautiful, but my ex-husband’s niece has that name. Please help?
