My 4 week daughter still nameless

Sorry for your loss it must be dreadful for you.

I like Bella and Yasmin from some of the suggestions.

Let us know what you decide on

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Bella is a beautiful name, and I like the suggestion of Mina above, too.

You could try looking for names with significant meanings. I thought these two were quite pretty.

Abigail - 'my father is joy' (from Hebrew Avigail)
Adanna - 'father's daughter' (from Igbo)

Good luck x

Why don't you call her Bee? As in the letter B. B for Ben and B for Bee (it could officially be Beatrice or something similar)

I like Benita too.
xx

so sorry for your loss .

just wondered if adanna meaning her fathers daughter might be an option

Dara - I am very very sorry for your and your DD's loss. Just getting through each day is a big ask - don't stress yourself out about not having her name yet.

I like the idea of choosing something from his side of the family, rather than trying to use his name for a couple of reasons, but mainly because there's nothing you love - do you like his Mum's/Nana's names at all?

I really can't imagine how you must be feeling - life can be very cruel. I hope you find much joy in your DD and can make a happy life for you both x

Or did he like any actors/ writers/ family names you could use?

Benita, Benedicta and Jemima are all lovely. I don't think she'd thank you for giving her an overly male name, even if it does link her to her father.

Bella Esperanza Natalie "beautiful hope birth"?

Like James as in the model James King.
I agree Ben is good. Benni/Beni/Benny if you want to try and 'feminize' it a bit?
To echo everyone else so sorry to hear about her daddy and congratulations on your dd.

I actually just like Ben for a girl.

think the idea of her initials spelling BEN is good also to have exactly the same initials as her father don't know the surname but B N ? Also think abigail which means father rejoiced is lovely also make her up a book about her dad with photos, but also maybe his driving licence scout badges exam results school reports if you have any of these or get her grandparents to do it for her etc I really wish you well with your DD

personally I would not do an unusual feminine version of a male name, I used to live in isle of lewis and knew lots of women with male names changed like donalda for donald murdina from murdo calina from calum even meet a malcolmina but what was always true was that they hated their names (even when they admired the person they were named after) and were called ina or nina instead,

some feminine versions are better and known as names in there own right like davina caroline

So sorry for your loss, and congratulations on your baby girl.
I was also going to suggest Abigail, as I remembered its meaning which would be so appropriate for your little girl.

Bethany is lovely, you could have
Bethany
Esther
Naomi

Esther means Star which is lovely!

HTH

Mina means love in German by the way.

Sorry for your loss.

Mina is nice as a first name.

What about Davite as a middle name - it is hebrew for cherished (David means dearly loved so it is quite close in sound and meaning)

why not go for a name with a meaning "tatyana" means "fathers daughter" (russian) so does Adanna (african), apparently "abigale" means " my "my father is joyful" (ancient greek)

so sorry for you loss, I know you will find the perfect name x

I think having 3 names beginning with B E N is a lovely idea , am sorry for your loss but congratulations on your little girl

Abigail... it means 'father's joy' or 'my father rejoices'

So sorry to hear of your loss.

Here are some B suggestions I tried to stay away from 'old or froo froo' so hope I have gone in the right direction.

Bethan
Belen
Belinda
Bellamy
Brianna
Bridget
Bonnie
Brea
Bria
Brenna
Briar
Brooke
Brynn

I was also thinking that you could honor her father by choosing a name (maybe the middle name?) afterone of his favorite songs, movie/book character, place etc. I think this would be a lovely story to tell her in the future and will link her to her his personality.

I'm so very sorry.

My lovely friend lost her dh when she was 8 months pg. Her dd is called Beatrice as it means 'bringer of hope'. I think it was very apt for her. I know you don't want just the initial but thought perhaps you'd like the meaning?

How about Hope?

Initials would work, she would be
