I'm 33 weeks pregnant with a girl after suffering from recurrent miscarriage.

Can I have some meaningful name suggestions?

Iris or Felicity

Many congratulations Smile

Welsh for rainbow is enfys
Enid would work too but what about a rainbow colour like Violet?

Itzel originates in Mayan language and means "rainbow goddess"

Aurora for aurora borealis.

Ashni means lightening.

Rainbow baby is a baby born after loss. Usually refers to a baby born after recurrent loss or still birth.
