Name ideas based on meaning

in Baby Names

Hi Everyone,

My pregnancy was a complete surprise and miracle, and I want to find a name that reflects that.  The short story is, I didn't even think I was ovulating, and while at the doctor's office to get Clomid, I was unknowingly pregnant!  Once I found out, it was a long first trimester since I had a 50% chance of mc (balanced chromosome translocation).  I got the results of my genetic testing, and I am having a healthy girl (although she also shares my chromosome issue, so will go through what I did when she decides to have kids). 

 

I want to give her a name that will reflect what a "blessing" or "miracle" or "gift" she will be.  I would appreciate any suggestions of names, or recommendations for websites to help me find one.  Also, in the meantime, I did put all the names I like in a poll, so please help me decide!

 

Thanks!

    Baby names that mean ?miracle? and ?blessed?

    The following baby names are not only unique, but they have special meanings perfect for your miracle baby.

    The French baby girl names Mireille, Marvel and Marvella all mean ?miracle,? while Mireya is a Spanish name that means ?miracle.? Micaela and Mikelle are both English names that mean ?gift from God,? while Mirabelle is a French name that means ?of incredible beauty.? We also love the names Bea, Gwyneth, Annie, Sachi, and Atara which all mean ?blessed.?

    Congratulations on your healthy pregnancy!!

    I'm going to advise giving DD a middle name such as Miracle or Blessing or something of the like.  That way she won't be the little girl with the odd name but she'll still carry that special meaning with her.  Honestly, most people won't say "Oh your name is XXXX?  That means "gift" in Swahili, I dig it" 

    Well, some of use NB Bumpies might, but we're name-obsessed.

    Other than that, I know my first name, Gianna, means "God is Gracious"  which fits your situation (if you're spiritual).  Gianna is Jane in Italian so Jane has the same meaning.

    Abigail means "my father is rejoicing" (although both of you are, I'm sure). Big Smile

    Thanks.  I should have added, I wanted something that sounded somewhat normal (I don't want my daughter having to repeat or spell her name for people all of the time!), but had some sort of meaning behind it.  I like the middle name idea, but had kind of reserved that so I can name her after my grandmother (Pearla).  Maybe she will have to have one of those lengthy names - jk :)

    Our little boy's middle name, Nathaniel, means gift--and we chose it for that reason.  I can tell you from my experience that it's very powerful to name your child with such a meaning...I love calling him by his full name!  Beautiful choices.

     

    There are a TON of names that mean gift.  Here is a list from the website we used:

    https://www.daystogo.com/baby-names/gift.asp

     Miracle and Blessing have much shorter lists--but this website certainly isn't the be all and end all. Just one resource!

    Congrats on your baby girl!  What about Anna or Grace?  Both mean Grace.

    I've had a similar experience.

    DS is Theodore, it means "gift of God."  So does Matthew and Nathaniel.  

    Nathan means "He (God) gave."

    If this is a boy his mn will be Samuel after the prophet in the Bible that was conceived after much prayer, it also means "God has heard."

    There are several other Biblical figures conceived similarly.

    Joseph means "God will increase/add" as does Josephine.

    Mary is sometimes said to mean "wished for child" and there are dozens of name options for that.
