Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, I wasn’t sure whether to post here or in the miscarriage section

I’ve unfortunately just miscarried my first baby, at the hospital the doctor mentioned we could apply for a baby loss certificate which me and my partner are keen to do but we want to name our baby for this rather than leave that section blank

We were too early to find out the gender so we want to go with something unisex/gender neutral that would work for either so if anyone could offer any suggestions that would be great.

In terms of the type of names we like, If baby had been a girl she would have been Clara and If baby had been a boy he would have been Henry

thank you

Sorry for you loss.
Eden, River, Sam/Sammy, Harri, Alex, Winter, Frankie, Ollie, Carey, Billie, Indie, Georgie, Harley, Stevie, Fran, Blake, Jessie, Eddie, Ripley, Parker, Jamie, Sasha, Dale, Darcy

Sasha is rather sweet for such a very little one.

I sometimes think it isn't manly enough for a grown boy (though the meaning is), but it is rather lovely for a tiny little soul.

Sorry for your loss... Angel is a very good suggestion.

Clair is more gender neutral name from Clara, meaning "bright".
Sun
Sunny
Sola

You could also go for a destination name of somewhere you means something to you

So sorry for your loss
