Taking advice

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I had my D&C today. When I was at the hospital I was crying a lot.. The nurse asked if we had a name picked out. We didn't, we didn't know if it was a boy or girl (11weeks along) she told me it might help with our grieving process if we picked a name.
So we did: Skylar H.

Did anyone else do this for their baby? So far it's nice calling him by a name instead of "it" or "baby"

    My wife is Hawaiian, and based on the Ramzi method, our baby was a girl (like you, too early too tell).  We are naming her Kaleihali'a, which means "A cherished memory never forgotten."
    Current pregnancy -
    First BFP on 1/4/22.  Due date 9/13/22.

    Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.

    We lost our angel at 8 weeks and it was my husband who asked if we can name them. I said beautiful idea and went with a unisex name, rylee. For Christmas I got an angel ornament engraved with rylee on it and we will hang it in the tree every year to honor them

    We refer to our first loss as Baby Olive(r) b/c it made it to 9 weeks, which The Bump compares in size to an olive. We have not picked a name for #2 which we just lost a little over a week ago, and only made it to about 5 weeks. It helped me to have a name for the first, so I'll eventually pick something that feels right for the second.
    Me: 41, DH: 42, married 2009

    My husband and I called our baby Poppy Seed because that is how big it was when we found out that I was indeed pregnant. For some reason the nickname stuck all the way to the day I had my m/c. I guess we will just look back and cherish the poppy seed we once had.
