I'm an absolute mess at the moment. We had her name down to two names, and now I hate them. I don't know why, I just don't like them anymore. So bit of back round info, My DH and I have one stillborn angel named Aurora Blythe. She was going to be Willa Louise but ended up being Aurora Blythe, since that was sleeping beauty's name and an adult no longer had to live with this name so it seemed okay. We are now expecting our second little girl, and Willa is of as we see Willa as part of Aurora. We had it down to Clara Dawn and Melissa Dawn, although Dawn will be her middle name (as it's a nod to Aurora) I don't like Clara or Melissa really enough to use them. So we are back to square one. I'm liking Poppy a lot, but I know a lot of little annoying Poppys so its a no. Also like Florence but my DH doesn't so also a no. Any ideas?

So sorry for your loss, Aurora Blythe is a beautiful name.

I think Dawn is a lovely as a nod to Aurora. It seems you like nature names, how about something like:
Daisy
Bryony
Astrid
Holly
Jasmine
Lily
Robyn
Violet

Brooke
Dahlia
Fay
Freya
Pippa

or maybe another princess name
Belle
Tiana
Ariel
Elsa
Merida

@Oliveandcheese Thank you 💛 I like Robyn a lot! I know my DH likes Violet, I'm a little weary but I might be coming round. I like Daisy and Astrid too! 🙂

What about Felicity, picking up on the similar meaning with Blythe?

Or Zoe, meaning life?

I actually think Melissa and Clara are both lovely names though.

What about Melinda, Melina or Cleo?

@PickledScrump I like Pippa and Ariel a lot. I like the idea of a Princess name too, very sweet idea. Maybe this baby will be our little fish!? 😂

@LilyLemonade Felicity sounds like the name my husband would like, he likes names with that kind of sound and vibes! I like Melina and Cleo but I bet my husband won't but I'll still suggest them!

Thank you 💛

So sorry to hear about your little Aurora.
I seem to like a lot of the same names as you -Florence, Clara, Felicity and Violet are some of my favourites. I would also maybe suggest Eloise as you like Louise, and Esther, Harriet, Rosa and Hazel just as I think they're lovely too!

Felicity Dawn

Happiness and a new start.

FayCarew · 04/01/2024 19:47

or Felicity Astrid

Happiness and a star

@ab03 Thank you 💛 I adore Eloise! I have to put her on the list. I like all the names you have suggested especially Harriet and Rosa!

Please don't go for Melina! It's pronounced the same as melena which is the medical term for blood in stools. It's a horrendous thing to have.

1209ET · 04/01/2024 20:03

@breakfastdinnerandtea THANK YOU! How did I forget that? I come from a family of doctors, they would never forgive me. 😂

Yes. I remember being quite taken aback when I heard a child being called Melena/Melina! I had to double check I had heard it right and when mum confirmed it I just didn’t know what to say.
