A friend of mine is going through a tricky pregnancy; she was talking about looking for names that mean faith, as in certainty or trust, rather than religious believing.
I was trying to think of other meanings or names that would symbolise that positive feeling that things will work out, I would love to hear any suggestions.
To try to get more answers I will also post this on the boys names & babys names forums; apologies for repeats.
I hope things work out for your friend. Here are some ideas:
[name]Vera[/name] - faith;truth
[name]Minette[/name] - faithful defender
[name]Asha[/name] - hope or life
[name]Felicia[/name] - lucky
[name]Zelda[/name] - luck
[name]Eva[/name]/[name]Eve[/name] - life
[name]Zoe[/name] - life
[name]Vida[/name] - life
[name]Viva[/name] - alive;living;life
[name]Nasia[/name] - God’s miracle
[name]Bridget[/name] - strength;power
[name]Etana[/name] - strength of purpose
[name]Signy[/name] - new victory
[name]Victoria[/name] - victory
[name]Farrah[/name] - happiness
[name]Beatrix[/name] - blessed; she who brings happiness
[name]Blythe[/name] - free spirit; happy; carefree
[name]Felicity[/name] - happy
[name]Gwyneth[/name] - blessed; happy
[name]Nara[/name] - happy
That’s all I can think of. I hope that helps!
