Is it weird that i want to name the baby? Or is it closure? And what name could we use. I have [name_f]Carys[/name_f] could that be for both? It means love or should we keep it [name_m]Bean[/name_m]?What did you do or know people who did this?
First off, I’m so sorry. I haven’t had a loss, but I do think I would feel closure from naming the baby. I think you should do whatever will bring you peace. As it was early, you could choose something unisex or just go with what your gut feeling was about the baby’s sex.
I think rather than a name at the top of my list, I’d look for a name with a meaning that spoke to me at this time (something meaning hope or faith or healing or whatnot).
I think you have to do what feels right for you.
When we lost our baby earlier this year, it was a Blighted Ovum… so nothing had formed after a certain point. On the ultrasound it appeared as an empty sac. To us, at the time, it really didn’t feel like a baby. It felt like a major Loss. (I actually dreamed of it as a light filled with warmth.) So we chose not to name our baby.
My husband keeps thinking out loud that our loss could have been a girl, especially since we just found out that our [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] babies are twin boys. He thinks we lost our chance of a daughter. I can’t go there. I’ve grieved for that loss and am looking forward to our future.
Anyway, if you feel like your baby had a name, then you should give the baby a name. No one can tell you how to grieve, it’s just important that you do.
Sending hugs your way.
we did decide [name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_f]Carys[/name_f] meaning love and riley meaning courage
I agree with the other posters, no one can tell you how to grieve and if naming your little angel baby helps, then do it. I am so sorry for your loss.
FYI - [name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is one of the most beautiful unisex names i’ve heard, really stunning.
So sorry to hear of your loss and you chose a very meaningful and lovely name.
rollo
I am so sad this happened to you and that your sweet baby is no longer growing. 
We gave our first trimester loss a simple name, Rosebud, it just “felt” right for us and sounds like you have chosen a name that feels right for you too. Again, so sorry. PM me if you ever need to talk. <3
I’m so sorry for you loss. I think you picked a beautiful name for your baby.
I think naming him/her is lovely. I’ve never had a loss but friends have and they think of him/ her as their first child. [name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is beautiful.
Good luck
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I had a miscaraige last year and not naming the baby felt wrong for me. I needed to name our baby to get some form of closure. My husband didn’t feel inclined either way but in the end we decided on [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]. Not our normal naming style at all but it felt right and has specisl meaning to us.
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is beautiful. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss and that you are going through this.
