Im sorry for your loss. I loss my baby on 9/21/07 and I was also 10weeks along. The hosp. said it was a good thing to name our child and even though we didnt know the baby's sex we should name our child a unisex name. We picked Morgan Stevie. It has helped w/healing cause im not saying the baby or our m/c baby. I feel this is still my child and always will be my child.I thought my child should have a name and it doesnt make me sad to say Morgan my lil angel. Do what you feel is right in your heart. If you need to talk Im here.

I was wondering the same thing as you...I have not named my baby yet, but have thought about it. I was also 10 weeks & don't know if we had a boy or a girl. When we found out we were preg. the whole family started to call the baby "cupcake". We still call the baby cupcake now. I might decide to name the baby afterall...

i think u have got to do what feels right for you.
i lost my baby girl on 8th sept 07 at 14wk4d. it felt right for me at the time to name her, i knew she was a girl as i had chromosonal tests done as they thought there was a problem. the name i liked all along for a girl was Grace, but i hadnt decided a boys name. so it just felt right to call her Grace, and it suited her.
but for me it would not feel right to name another child the same, coz thats Graces name.

I was also 10 weeks along when I miscarried. I named my baby from the beginning, and if you have a gut feeling as to the sex, then you should go with that which is what I did. I felt it was going to be a girl so I named her Georgia Kathleen.

Sorry for your loss. I was 7w3d along when I had my mc. I asked the same question on this site. My husband and I both thought I was having a girl so I named her Faith. It was a name I liked but he didn't as much leaving the names we both likes still available when and if we have another. I am happy I named her. My husband did not know about it until this past weekend even though it has been almost 7 months.

I had a friend who lost a baby at 20 weeks knew she was having a girl and used the name for her 2nd daughter's middle name. I thought that was kind of cool too. I think it is a personal decision neither way is wrong but do it if you feel strongly about it.

Take care,
Angelique

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my baby too. I didn't know for sure what sex it was but I'm sure it was a girl. I had a name all picked out. And when I think of her I call her by her name. Personally, I wouldn't be able to name another child the same thing because to me that name evokes the memory of somebody else. I couldn't just replace her. Good luck.

I'm sorry for your loss. We had two losses within 5 months of each other. The whole experience was so overwhelming and I don't even remember some of the dates that certain things happened. I don't really want to even research it because I don't want another day to have to mourn. We were about 6 or 7 weeks along on both pregnancies and hadn't picked names yet. I've been thinking of the losses as an attempt for my child to get to me. I know he or she is out there just trying so hard to get to his/her mommy and daddy... so we are saving the names we picked for our child when we finally meet him or her. Everyone's experience is a little different. Do what is right for you.

I am sorry for your loss, David and I lost our child 12 weeks in, I did name her, Katie. I still cry everytime I think of her.

this may sound silly but we named our baby pineapple.. as one day we were driving past a pineapple feild and i joked and said lets call the bubs pineapple and partner and i agreed. its just a name so we both have alaugh and remember the good things and not that bad about having a baby

we lost our first child in Feb at nine weeks I just had a gut feeling it was a girl. We decided to pick a form of his grandmothers name. So we picked Margo Claire. (This wasn't a name we had picked out before.) It brought me some closure to name her. Of course there will be those like my sister who might think it is a little over board. However you need to do what feels right to you.

I lost my baby on Sep 5, 2007 after a year and a half of trying with furtility drugs. I was ll weeks along. I decided to name the baby Angel since I didn't know if I was a having a boy or a girl.

Nameing your child could help in the healing process.It makes that child a part of you.If you are unsure about the sex of your baby.Give your baby a unisex name.Sweety I am sorry to hear about your loss and I hope should you chose to name your baby it helps.

I lost my baby at 9 weeks and i am facing the same delema as you are. For a girl she would have had my grandmothers name. For a boy he would have been the III. Both names mean alot to us and we plan on using them with our future children so i decided that the most appropriate way to address my lost child was to call him or her my angel.

i named our baby after the month we concieved and hyphenated it with the month we m/c since i didnt know the gender and i didnt want ot refer to him or her as it or have to say my/our baby 50 times when im talking about august-september. sorry for your loss i hope this helps you in the healing prossess

I named my baby caleb. even though i lost him at 8 weeks, i know in my heart that i was having a boy, the same way i knew to begin with that i was pregnant, despite a negative pregnancy test (the test was taken to soon to register a hormone change). i would never be able to use the same name again on another child, just as i would never name 2 of my children the same name. he is still my little boy, even if i dont get to rock him to sleep every night.
