Anybody Name Their Baby?

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Hello all,

When we lost Aiden, there was no doubt that we had to name him. I was so far along that we even had to make burial/cremation arrangements.

But I do not know what to think about Baby #2. I want to give him/her itleast a nickname, but I don't even know the gender, and I don't know what the norm is. I am not looking for a proper name, but rather something like 'Peanut'. I dunno. Some people have little names like that as soon as you find out your pregnant.

Anyone out there name their early loss baby?

((Hugs)) You all are in my prayers.

    I noticed a post like this not too long ago and a lot of women did name their babies. One lady if I remember correctly named her's snowflake because of something the Dr. had said when they had the u/s. I think it makes it more real to name the baby, it helps with the memory to have something to call it, rather then "it" or the baby. Its a great idea even if it is just peanut. We always called ours our little cashew because thats the shape it was. I'm so sorry for your loss, both of them. ((Hugs coming your way))

    I had nicknames for all my babies.

    Dumpling, Perogee, and Snowflake.  All very symbolic to me.

    Dumpling, Perogee, and yes Snowflake (because at the u/s the doctor said it looked Molar, and full molar pregnancies commonly have a snowstorm effect on the u/s.  All very symbolic to me.

    We already had a list of names for this baby, and the only one that was always on my list (but not DH's) and could only be for this baby was Noel.   So that's what I named her (or him, I don't know).  No one else knows of the name though.  I am still debating whether I will tell DH. 

    The nickname I was using while pg was Binoo, but that's a character in one of DD's favourite shows so I don't wan to use it any more.

    If you feel like it would help you, I would do it.

    We didn't name our first loss. We were 5 weeks with that one.

    We did name Baby B from the second loss because we knew the gender and she had had a heart beat. I felt that since she was living at one time, she needed a name.

    We don't know the gender of Baby A and we never saw a heart beat with A so we decided to not name Baby A.

    We normally just refer to them as the twins.

    So sorry for your loss.

    We nicknamed our baby "Blueberry". I found out I was pregnant when I was 7 weeks (could not get a test to turn positive before that!) and when I got on here the growth chart said the baby was the size of a blueberry. The nickname stuck & then I miscarried that weekend.

    Of course at 7 weeks I didn't know the gender, but I just had the feeling it was a baby girl. So privately - for myself - I named her Lillian and we are going to be planting a lily garden in memory.

    In memory of precious Julia, sweet baby James, and now Timmy who fought so hard.
