Thanksgiving? It is too much?

It's awful OP but I think you know that. I also think it's totally wrong to saddle your child with this as a reminder of what you lost before. Give them a name in their own right

So sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. You're right thanksgiving is way way too much. How about

Mercy
Jubilee
Liberty

I've known girls with these names and they really suited them.

While I like it in theory, I think in today’s world such a name would make her a target of ridicule from her peers and would stand out in a negative way. Thankful is a similar historical Puritan name that is a bit more wearable. I would suggest giving her a more commonplace first name with Thankful as a middle.

Hosanna
Rejoice
Blessing
Felicity

All names with the right meaning and not so out there. Thanksgiving is a bit too Puritan in style.

I love virtue names. my girls have Constance and Grace as middle names and my son would have had Faith if he was a girl.

Personally I'd go for Faith or Blessing, both beautiful names.

Mehetable is a biblical name meaning gift from God. You could shorten it to Hetty.

Sorry...me again! I know of a Hosanna... Honour and Hosanna go pretty well together...

Aletheia is also a beautiful Christian name meaning truth.

Also - Iris means “rainbow”, the sign from God after the flood was a rainbow, after a pregnancy loss or loss of a child, a new baby is often referred to as a rainbow baby. I know it’s not a virtue name, but it’s significant on many levels.

Grazia? Gratia is Latin for thanks and obviously has the direct link to gratitude.

I second Thea/Theodora “Gift from God”.

Charity or Agape? Both forms of Christian Love.

Talitha “little girl”, direct biblical quote from Jesus “Talitha Koum”.

Tamar (Tay-mar) is one of my favourite biblical names.

I also have considered Corinthia as I love Corinthians - “Love is Patient, Love is Kind etc”.

Or the “strong women” of the bible with great names...Ruth (Ruthie?), Esther, Magdalene, Martha, Mary/Marie/Maria, Elizabeth, Sarah/Sarai, Leah, Rachel etc.

Good luck with the new little blessing!

Sorry but I t’s too much.

I really like all your other names (in your second post) including Hannah which is biblical (as you would know ). The names of siblings do not need to match, if you feel strongly, could it be a middle name?

Eg Hannah Joy
Or Hannah Grace

Please don't do this.

Every time someone says a polite acknowledgement of Thanks in earshot of her, her ears would prick up at the sound of her name. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Multiple times a day, every single day, for the rest of her life.

Don't do that to a child!

Thanksgiving is called the National Day of Mourning by some Americans, due to the genocide of Native Americans, so even if it sounded pretty (it doesn’t) it wouldn’t be a suitable baby name at all.

There are dozens of beautiful virtue names to choose from.

I love Cherish.

I really like the suggestions of Dorothea / Dorothy / Theodora, all meaning ‘God’s gift’.

Have you considered Rejoice, if you can’t use Joy? I met someone with this name and thought it was really nice!

Blessing has also been mentioned already which I also think would suit. I actually think Thanksgiving is lovely but may be considered a bit too much by some and I can imagine it would be painful to have people mock it as they have been doing above, especially given your reasons.

I’m sorry for your loss OP, that sounds incredibly tough to cope with for you and your family and I’m sorry people have been so insensitive here. I hope you are ok and able to enjoy the last few days of pregnancy. Best wishes to you!

Verity meaning truth a beautiful name for a precious girl and an angel

Also, I like Temperance and Faith as names, very nice and not too out there.

Oh god no - Comfort = comfort girls - don’t do that

I don't get that reference but Comfort odds a fairly ordinary name in west Africa

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Faith would seem the most obvious choice, it’s a beautiful name that would sit well alongside Honour (which I adore, btw).
What about Clemence? (Mercy).
Or similar to other posters, I realise you wanted a virtue name but it may be worth considering some options which have your desired meaning. Beatrice / Beatrix as someone else suggested would be perfect as it means both ‘she who brings happiness’ and ‘blessed.’ Theodora and indeed many Dora names mean gift from God.

Congratulations on your daughter OP X

Not read all the thread but do you know ''Thanks Giving'' or ''Thanksgiving'' is a public holiday in USA for the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers who set sail in the Mayflower and the date is when they landed in Massachusetts?
Were you writing or talking ever to strangers about 'Thanksgiving'' referring to your child, there will be massive UNNECESSARY confusion here.
Also imagine a scene where this child is missing are you going to call out ''Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving !'' loudly in a crowded shop or airport for example? Is it at all practical?
How do you think other, not so kind people, will treat her regarding her name all through her life?

I really think Thanksgiving is too 'out there'

Better names are

Faith
Verity
Patience
Grace
Hope
Serenity

Patience
Constance
Hope

Honour, faith and Florence are lovely. I would raid an eyebrow to both Thanksgiving and Blessing to be honest. Best wishes for the safe arrival of your baby girl.

I like Serenity
True would be a lovely name.
I like Blessing too.

Names can have connotations of thanksgiving without actually using the word. Faith, Hope and Grace are good examples

Agree that Thanksgiving isn't really workable, but appreciate the meaning for you.

How about Praise, Constance, Blessing or Faith?
