People name their children after 'loved and lost' people all the time, so if you choose to 'honor' your previous baby similarly, but want to use a 'distinguishing' name, perhaps a slight variant of the 'honoring' name would be an option. |
I agree with this. A family member is a family member whether is't a skin member or a furry member. I have named many both cats & dogs after others I have lost & I feel it is to honor the past loved one just as people name their children after past on loved ones. It works well for me BUT you need to do what will work best for you. I think you will have no regrets whatever you chose to do. Congrats on your new little family member.
