I’m so sorry for your loss. Miscarriages are so tough as they leave you with so many unanswered questions. I had a miscarriage before conceiving my daughter. I lost that baby at 9 weeks and in my heart, I knew it was a girl. I gave her the name [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. It definitely helped in my healing process and like a pp, I made a little scrapbook of my ultrasound, belly pics, etc.
I decided to have an open mind today and look at unisex names. Or semi unisex anyway. I want the name to have a good meaning. What do you think about these:
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby at 11 weeks about 5 years ago. There’s no “right” or “wrong” when it comes to naming your baby because it is YOUR baby. I actually named my baby while I was still pregnant. I definitely felt she was a girl and her name was [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] so I called her [name_u]Sam[/name_u] or [name_u]Sammy[/name_u]. It was just a coincidence that her nickname was a unisex name. It’s strange b/c my (boyfriend at the time) husband and I hadn’t even talked about names yet and I just called her [name_u]Sammy[/name_u] in my own head because I just really felt that was her name.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] what feels right to you and whatever helps you get through this mourning period. It took a long time for me to get through the grief and I don’t want to say it gets easier. It does, of course, because time heals, but I still think about her. In fact, my three year old just recently started randomly mentioning a sister (she is an only child). I thought she was talking about a baby sister because a lot of her friends at school have baby sisters, but the other day she said how she remembers being a little baby and her big sister was holding her. Made me wonder…
I love [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] together. What a beautiful meaning! And it could easily be a boys name or a girls name, so maybe that will help your husband as well.
