Hi, I need a name for baby girl that has a nice meaning as she is a very precious baby (I know all are) as she was long awaited for and conceived via ivf so I want a name with a nice meaning behind it. Like miracle, special gift type thing but not too religious like "gift from god" as she wasn't she came from the lab haha! I don't want anything to obvious like calling her precious but just a pretty girl name that has a nice meaning behind it! Thanks

I've heard Mia means wished for and Emma means complete (completed your family?)

Or Grace / Hope/ Joy...

Melissa. Because like dd the world would be a different place without honeybees I also like botanical names that are a bit old fashioned and like Pearl and all the variations of it too.

Alana doesn't mean precious. It's from "a leanbh" (child) in Irish.

user1498166085 · 30/06/2017 13:35

Cara doesn't mean beloved. It meand "friend". It's a common Irish word.

I saw somewhere that Alana meant precious but then like you I also saw a different meaning. It was our fav name but kind of went off it. Arabella was my all time favourite but my husband wasn't keen and all the other names either don't work or friends have already used the name
