I have struggled with infertility and have suffered a few miscarriages though I’m not currently pregnant we are still trying and have a friend who offered to be a gestational surrogate if need be. We are still struggling to agree on a girl name. I do want to use my grandmothers name ([name_f]Mae[/name_f]) as either first or middle name and would like something meaningful to go with it. I’ve always loved the name [name_f]Aria[/name_f] (don’t know why just love it) though my fiancée does not like that name and I would prefer something we both like. Any suggestions?
I’m really sorry to hear about your struggles and losses Hoping you get your miracle baby very soon.
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] is a great name to work with. It goes with pretty much any names as a sweet, girly middle so you’ve got a lot of names to choose from! Has your fiancé suggested any names he likes? A few examples of his taste would make it easier for us to make suggestions you both might like.
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] is so pretty! [name_m]Light[/name_m], airy and feminine. Some more in this vein are:
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] or [name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Gracie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleni[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Alba[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Suki[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Katia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Iona[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
My first thought is [name_f]Esme[/name_f], if you’re open to use not exactly [name_f]Mae[/name_f] ([name_f]Esme[/name_f] has the same sounding end, so similar enough). It means beloved, so seems just perfect.
[name_f]Karina[/name_f]/[name_f]Carina[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cadence[/name_f]
[name_f]Arianne[/name_f]/[name_f]Arianna[/name_f]/Ariade - maybe he’ll consider a variant?
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
I considered [name_f]Iris[/name_f] for my own rainbow baby’s middle name (though I did not end up using it), as [name_f]Iris[/name_f] means rainbow.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], or [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] would be lovely choices! I am wishing you all the luck in the world.
My first thought is to combine [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] into [name_f]Mariah[/name_f] but that’s just my silly line of thought.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] want to thank everyone for their input I see some great names that I like so hopefully one day soon I can chose one to use! Thanks everyone
