    Another kind of name thread - help me name our angel baby

    I detest calling my angel 'it', it feels really insensitive and cold. So another lovely member suggested giving him/her a name.
    I think Im looking for a unisex name, so hit me with them.
    Otherwise other nicknames are good too, though Im not too keen on anything too common.

    I was listening to Norah Jones before and her song "Rosie's Lullaby" really spoke to me so now I dont know if I should call bub Rosie or stick with a unisex name. It feels kind of wierd to assign a gender when I had no feeling either way...

    Lullaby is a very nice name I think.

    Mine is Sunny. We would've named bubs that regardless of gender if it had turned out different. It felt right. All my subsequent losses are with Sunny.
    I hope you're healing xx

    We nicknamed our angel (lost at 4 weeks) Teeny. Because he/she was a teeny teeny angel.

    We did the same thing with our five; I couldn't move past the losses, because it felt like I was the only one who considered them people. Now that they have names, no-one can ignore them.

    Basically, I trawled baby name websites for names I felt were unisex and met our other rules (one biblical, one unusual). Then I put them in a list and went through them with Professor, and we both came up with the exact same names, no arguing, no disagreement, it just felt right

    The names I'm suggesting are more common unisex names, I hope that is O.K.?

    I really felt like the bub we lost was a girl. We named her Georgia. Im so sorry for your loss. I was the same as you, I needed her to be named.

    Common names are great, Id prefer less common nicknames so maybe not bubble or bub etc. not that there anything wring with them, I just want something a bit different.

    My personal opinion would be that if Rosie's Lullaby really sings to you then perhaps that is your bubba giving you a sign/feeling. Particularly if it feels right to you. But perhaps that is just me. I don't really have any suggestions for names, other than to go with what feels right to you.
