Help to name rainbow baby

Hi, I am currently 17 weeks with what will hopefully be my rainbow baby following two losses, one at 8 weeks and one at 26+3. We have a living son called Theodore who goes by Teddy. Our children who died are Robin and Ethan. My partner isn't at the stage where he is able to think of names but I'm trying to be optimistic and visualise our child. I'm not bothered about how currently popular a name is, Theodore was at number 70 the year before he was born, then jumped to number 30 and is even more popular now and so is Teddy. So far I have the names

Owen
Oscar
Charlie
Felix
Elliott
Harvey
William

Nicole
Phoenix
Charlotte/Lottie
Hannah
Josephine
Heidi
Naomi
Sapphire
Rosalie

I'm open to any suggestions Smile

If they're a girl, Iris is associated with rainbow in Greek. Or you could go for Violet, as one of the colours of the rainbow.

Good luck and congratulations Flowers

Baby is a little boy, the reasurrance scan was good, we were able to see babies stomach and confirm a 3 vessel cord. Our son who died only had a 2 vessel cord and they could never visualise his stomach. Only 2 weeks to go for our anatomy and heart scan with fetal medicine now.

Dp has finally been able to talk about names. I think we are going to go for Owen Lucas or Lucas Owen. That might change as the pregnancy goes on though or might not suit him when he's born. We have the scary anatomy scan next week so everything is crossed that it goes smoothly and then we can try to relax.

William (Will), Charles (Charlie), Francis (Frankie)
Penelope (Pen/Nellie), Heidi and Freya sound lovely with Theodore (Teddy)
