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

Sterling means both precious and star.

Firstly, I'm very sorry for your loss.
I totally understand about wanting to give him / her a name and a star is a lovely idea. I named my miscarriages after Angels.

Out of the names above, I really like Celeste.

Look after yourself x

So sorry for your loss Flowers

Raine (girl) or
Beau (boy) ?

We never found out the sex of the baby we lost either, I just picked a gender neutral name to remember him or her by. Look after yourself xx

So sorry for your loss Thanks

How about Aurora (as in aurora borealis)

I knew this was the right place to ask. So many wonderful names. Thank you all.
As soon as I saw ‘Vesper’ I thought it was the one. Meaning Evening Star. 💫⭐️
Thank you everyone.

Esther is star. Also Aster. Stella. Cassiopeia. Lyra. Ursa. Izar.

Or for new start, Aurora, Dawn. Or Lucy for light.

Ah unisex. Sorry. Lux is cool!

Vesper is beautiful, What a lovely way to honour your little one x

I think there is also a evening Mass called Vespers if you ever wanted to attend one

MakkaPakkasMate · 29/01/2018 19:47

That’s a lovely idea. Thank you Octonaught ❤️
