Thoughts on our girl list

FlowerPower16 · August 2014

We found out this week that we're having a girl. Girl names are harder than boys for us. I'm loving Lena right now. My husband likes Ali. We both like that Alina is a mix of the 2 and is a variation of Helen/Helena which would honor my grandma. I also like that Cora can mean heart. We lost our daughter, Claire, to a heart defect. DH has already vetoed Willa, Ivy, Summer, Wren, Maren, and Juliet. Here's our list. I'm open to suggestions also. Thanks!

Lena
Cora
Alison (Ali)
Gwen
Bianca
Alina

I'm so sorry for your loss. I like that Cora means so much to you. Cora Helena would be beautiful.

I like the meanings you have attached to Cora and Alina, so if you can put them together, go for it.

I also like Bianca

I'm sorry for your loss.

Oh that's so sad, I'm so sorry. Cora is my favourite name on your list and the meaning makes it even better in your situation!! I agree with Cora Helena or even Cora Alina if you really love it.

I like Cora, in that it honors her sister and is a beautiful name!

Cora is one of my favorite names and I like that the meaning is special to you. I also like Lena. None of the names on your list are bad though.

I like Cora and Bianca best from your list.

Alina Corazon?

ETA: I think being named for the reason behind your sister's passing is pretty heavy. That's why I'd try to keep that sentiment in the MN spot rather than what she's be called all day everyday, kwim?
