Help[Opinions] Seren
I had a 12 week miscarriage back in May with a girl I was going to name Stella. Im currently 7 weeks pregnant with my hopeful rainbow baby. I want to honor her in some way. Since her name means star, I was thinking of using another name that means star or something similar for a girl.
Well I found Seren. It means star in Welsh. WDYT of Seren? Would you think its a good honor name?
Some other names I like (that I havent brought up to the BF)
Luna
Lucy
Scarlett (although 2 years ago, he said he liked this one)
Juliette
Willa
Ruby
Ivy
Alice
Gemma
Olive
Georgia
Beatrice
Amelia
Emily
Clara
Poppy
Clio (Cleo)
Josephine
Seren as a MN or FN?

I'm sorry about the miscarriage. wishing you very good luck with this pregnancy.
What about Star, for a middle name?
I have a young friend who had a boy, her rainbow baby, born after her daughter, Violet, died. she named her son Indigo, since that's the colour coming next to violet on the rainbow.
He's a dear little guy, very pleased with his name, and doesn't allow people to call him "Indie". He points to his chest and says, "I'm INDIGO!"

On your list, I'd use:
Lucy
Juliet (that spelling; mn only)
Alice
Beatrice (my daughter's fn)
Emily
Clare; perhaps Clara
I'd avoid:
Luna
Scarlett
Willa
Ruby
Ivy
Gemma
Olive (but I'd consider Olivia)
Georgia (but I'd use Georgina)
Amelia
Poppy
Clio (Cleo) (but I like Chloe and Clodagh)
We used Beatrice (a family name) as the mn for our first daughter. When she died and I had another daughter, we wanted to have a link between them and used Beatrice as the new baby's fn. She is very happy that we did. Might you consider actually using Stella, perhaps as a mn? Seren is all right, but if you're not Welsh it's a bit of a stretch.

thanks a lot
...for ruining this name for me! Ugh! Seems like every name I fall in love with, has a bad connotation. :(

It’s never, never my intention to ruin names for people, but I always feel like I’d be remiss in not pointing out something that could be problematic.

Congrats on the baby!
I think Seren is a good honour name, it has a meaning to you but is not too similar to Stella. If you want another name that means star I'm a big fan of Esther which also means star.
As for your other names:
Luna- I like it however the Harry Potter association is very strong among millennials and Gen Z so that may put you off.
Lucy- I think it's nice and it's classic but it's very popular.
Scarlett- I like it, it's one of my favorite colour names.
Juliette- I prefer the spelling Juliet.
Willa- I'm not a fan, it sounds incomplete.
Ruby- I like it, it's one of my favorite gem names.
Ivy- Love it, it's one of my favorite names.
Alice- I think it's boring.
Gemma- I don't like it.
Olive- It's food.
Georgia- I love it, it's my favorite feminine form of George.
Beatrice- Love it.
Amelia- I like it but I prefer Emilia.
Emily- I like my name but it's very popular.
Clara- I don't like it, I find it boring.
Poppy- It sounds too childish.
Clio (Cleo)- I prefer the Cleo spelling but I'm not a fan of either.
Josephine- I like it but I don't like Jo.
I prefer Seren as middle name.

Awwwwww I'm so sorry! But congrats on the rainbow baby!
Seren is actually a Welsh name, so if you're not Welsh or don't have Welsh heritage, I'd use it in the middle. Sorry, but not sure how universal it is...
But anyway, I like:
Luna
Scarlett
Ruby
Alice
Gemma
Georgia
Amelia
Emily
Clara
