choosing a name It is important to give this little one dignity by giving him or her a name. This also aids the grieving process because it helps us to acknowledge the baby as a person. We cannot recommend this strongly enough. If you feel you cannot choose a name as you don't know what sex your baby was, try using one that applies to either sex. Often women have a strong feeling they know the sex of their baby and who is to say they are wrong?
