Welp, we had the name settled, buuuuuut

Cassius will be our little rainbow baby. We lost our baby in April. Daddy brought Covid in the house from work, unknowingly obviously, and we both ended up getting it. I lost my baby, as the hospital said “from Covid”. So something told me after deciding the middle name that his middle should represent rainbow baby somehow. I looked up what people name their rainbow babies, and came up with different middle name options.

Which is best? Any other ideas?

Cassius Grant (as in ‘Grant’ed a new life) my fiancé likes this one

Cassius Nathaniel (gift from God)

Cassius Beau (pronounced bow, as in rain-bow)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Cassius Enrico is gorgeous @Zeke2018
Some people use names like Ash, Clay, Earth to dedicate their baby to the earth. But you had a long time deciding that name.

Asher means hope / miracle - that would be the name I’d use personally. Cassius Asher :)

I agree with @Anycolourwilldo

I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a difficult thing to go through.
I know this isn't the point of your post but it sounds like you've still got a lot to resolve, particularly with your husband 'bringing Covid into' your house.
I would think twice about naming your child after a lost baby (even if just a middle name).
I'd really recommend seeking therapy for your grief if you haven't already. It really helped me.

Also I feel that Grant and Beau really spoil the name Cassius, they're just not very nice or classy names. If you were the poster who decided on Cassius Enrico, that name is far better than any of these three. And will probably be nicer for the child to have his own name.

Nathaniel is best but I agree with @aliceinborderland 100%.

Sorry for your loss but please don't

How would you like some of your name to represent your mother's loss of a previous pregnancy?

Don't saddle this baby with anything to do with it. It is your loss not his.

Milo means beloved.
Kiran means ray of light.
Luca means bringer of light.
