117 Beautiful Miscarriage Baby Names (With Meanings)

This post contains a list of miscarriage baby names (gender-neutral, boy names & girl names), to honor your angel baby.

Choosing a name for your angel baby is a personal choice.

Although many choose not to name their babies when their pregnancies end, selecting a miscarriage baby name can be a powerful way of managing infant loss. 

Regardless of whether you choose to name your baby or not, it is important to remember that everyone grieves differently. Some may find healing and comfort in naming their baby or not. Respecting and supporting all people coping with infant death is the most important thing.  

Reasons to Name Your Angel Baby

It helps you to:

• Personalize a Difficult Topic: Acknowledge your baby’s life with a name. 
• Establish an Emotional Connection: Giving your baby a name allows you to bond with your baby in their absence. 
• Honor Baby’s Memory: Celebrate their existence as a family member. 
• Talk About Them: You can talk about your baby with other people when you have a name to use. It allows you to vocalize your thoughts and feelings about them, like by saying, “I’m feeling very emotional about Raya today.” 

Overcoming Objections 

One of the main reasons people choose not to name their unborn baby is because of the intense sorrow and grief that come with mourning an infant.

Below are some additional reasons why some people choose not to give your miscarriaged baby a name, and some ways to get over these objections. 

• Unknown Gender: Choose a gender-neutral name, or let your intuition guide you, whether you believe it is a boy or a girl.
• Unable to Cope With Grief: Wait until you have healed. You will know when it feels right to choose a name. 
• Denial or Avoidance: Those who aren’t ready, willing, or who haven’t adequately processed their grief may choose to avoid naming their baby. 
• Fear of Attachment: Some may fear that giving their baby a name will make it harder to move on. 
• Unsure of the Baby’s Identity: Plenty of parents prefer to know the gender, see their child, or even interact with their child before giving them a name. 
• Fear of Judgment:  You might fear judgment from others. Perhaps you miscarried very early and don’t feel it is as significant as a late-term miscarriage, but it is.

Parent-to-Parent, I’d like to let you know that no matter how far along you were in your pregnancy, your desire to name your baby is valid.
Even if you don’t feel comfortable sharing that name with the world, it is a bond you can privately hold with your child. 

Choosing a Different Name

Some chose to keep the original name for their rainbow baby (rainbow babies are children born after a miscarriage). They might desire that specific name for a living child. 

If you had already chosen a name before the loss, you can keep it or change it to a more meaningful name to remember their lost life. 

I love using the same name for your angel baby and your new baby as a middle name. It’s a wonderful way to honor a past life with a new life and a way for older children to cope with the loss of their sibling.
