I'm so sorry. To answer your question - I was thinking of Riley as well. I just really like that name too. You could also go with Jordan.
Hi there. I just saw your post, thou it has already been a couple of days and you have had a lot of response. I just wanted to suggest the name Shannon.
I am sorry for your loss.
I an so sorry for your loss. I would suggest a name like Taylor which is very gender neutral. For a middle name you could use a name like Lane which is also neutral.
I'm so sorry for your loss. After I went into preterm labor and we lost our son, we named him Angel, because that is what he'll always be for us up in Heaven. Again, so very sorry for your loss.
I really don't have any suggestions except Kayden or Caiden. Most of what I've read says it means "fighter"..which I'm sure that little angel was until he passed... I've seen alot of boys and girls named this recently... Also, this post absolutely broke my heart, I can usually read posts objectively and remove myself from the situation...but this one left me in tears and I'm so sorry that anyone would have to go through this..I've never heard of anyone having to carry only one surviving baby before.. I've never experienced anything of this magnitude, but the thought of having to go day to day how you did knowing that only one of my babies was going to come out alive makes me nauseous. I hope you come out stronger for yourself and your family, and I don't think you are making this harder than this has to be at all... I truly, sincerely wish you the best of luck.
Frances or Sam. Both gender neutral and traditional. I am so sorry for your loss.
What about your maiden name as a middle? Or that of a special grandparent, aunt etc. And definately go with what YOU and your husband want. I cant imagine imagine how hard this must be, it's an extremely emotional issue, and my heart goes out to you and your family. How difficult to go through what you have. I hope your new baby boy is making it a little more bearable to go through this! Go through a name book, and go with what feels right to you. Who cares about the spelling! This is for you and your little angel you lost. Take care, and go with your heart.
Hi Kimberly,
We named our lost twins Christian and Christiana after the characters in Pilgrim's progress. Christian is gender neutral and would be fitting for a little one already in heaven.
God bless!

Fist, I am sorry for your loss. The fact that you had to carry the lost baby until delivery of the surviving twin is very saddening. I miscarried my first child about 16 weeks along, and it was devastating. I too, wanted to commemorate my lost child by naming the baby and referring to it by name. I chose the name Riley, which is gender neutral and very sweet. I have two other children that now have a guardian angel watching over them. Blessings to you and your family. Losing a child is never easy, and it's something you can's just "get over".
How about Austyn - could be girl or boy name spelled that way - my boss has a granddaughter named Austyn and her middle name is Ellis.
I am so sorry for your loss! =( I know that it must be difficult for you... here are some names that i came up with that are neutral..
Mika Jones
Ashley Harper
Hunter Alexis
Cameron Alexis
Other traditionally unisex names: Marion, Jackie, Val, Jamie, Morgan, Jan, Pat, Jerry, Robbie, Dale, Lee, Lynn, Courtney, Cameron, Whitney.
I can't believe what you've been through. You are a saint!
What a wonderful idea! I really like the name Reese - gender neutral. Also Jamie, Jesse or Lee. BTW - Jamie Lee Curtis was named a gender neutral name on purpose. It's an interesting story if you check into it.
Another thought, what about Gabe? The angel Gabriel is a pivotal angel in the Bible. You already have your own angel watching over you and your family too.

God bless. And know that your son is destin for greatness! He has already proven that God was watching him and taking extra good care of him.
You certainly are a very strong person to be asking for names, I think it is very honorable to. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. I am so sorry my heart goes out to you.
Here is a couple of names that may take as a girl/boy: Mikelle and Keetan, These could be used for either girl/boy. Ask your other children as well so they can possibly come up with a couple of names and it will make them feel so much better as well. Mikelle (Mike) Keeten (Keety) Both being very nice names. Your litle angel is gone to the other side and I am sure that he/she is watching over you right now! I am so sure that you are having your bouts of anger and tears but you can be rest assured that he/she is very happy at home, with all of those lost before he/she. Lots of love while you are going through these rough times.I hope that I may have helped.
This may seem out there but I was a twin and my mom miscarried the other. I always pretended I was a twin and she didn’t tell me till I was 18. I was also mostly friends with twins and my first seiously relationship was a quintuplet. I always felt I was missing my twin brother though. Maybe your other twin could feel strongly about it. I stumbled across this post looking for a name for an early miscarriage. Was a helpful thread to read.
