Calling the wise women of Mumsnet. I recently had a miscarriage before being able to determine baby’s sex. I would like to give baby a name just to honour them and give them a place in our family. I’m looking for a unisex name that means star or rainbow if possible? Long shot I know but if anyone can think of one I bet they are on here! Thanks in advance xx

Sorry for your loss.

Stella and Estelle both mean star. I think Seren is Welsh for star as well. All girls names though.

We have welsh ponies and had a run on star/seren names a few years ago.

I have a Seren Dewr which means brave star. And we had a Seren Mai which means May Star.

I am not a welsh speaker tho and took my friends word for it. Sorry for your loss Flowers

You could have Star it's recognised as a proper name nowadays x
