Saying goodbye to a baby with Edward's. Names?

So I've just recieved the devastating news that's my 13 week old fetus is incredibly sick due to a rare genetic disorder called Edward's.

I will have to say goodbye to my baby soon.
I wondered if anyone at all had any names as I will be having a ceremony when the inevitable day comes.

So far I like the name pheonix because of what it symbolizes however I have decided on it 100%
Has anyone got any suggestions?

I have no suggestions, but I just wanted to say I am so, so sorry. I lost my daughter last Christmas and the pain is like nothing I've ever experienced. Hope you find your way through it and have lots of support

My friend experienced this with her first daughter. I'm so sorry this has happened to you and your son. What names were you already considering. You can still use one of those if you want. You don't have to chose something symbolic. Some people will talk about their angel babies for their children who didn't get to be born...if you like that symbolism then what about Gabriel or Michael?

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

My best friend and his wife went through it with Edwards with their second baby.

Heartbreaking, I am so sorry for your loss.
