HelpNavarra and Amara
If my oldest daughter who has passed away's name is Navarra is the name Amara too close for another girl?

I don't think they are. But maybe if you do, or if you are questioning if you think they do, they're too close for you to use.
I would say this one is totally up to you with how the name and potential closeness is going to make you feel.

I'm sorry about that. When you say the name do you think about Navarra, and get upset. If you do you can't really use it. If you don't get upset then there's nothing wrong naming her Amara, I think it's a beautiful name and would honour your fisrt daughter.

In Latin, Amara means Sour, like vinegar. Do you want that?

The language it comes from has it meaning something else though... and sour's not as bad as diarrhea. Gary (spelled geri in Jpns. for same prn.) means diarrhea in Jpns. and I think that would be more unfortunate... esp. since most people don't speak Latin these days.

Normally I'd say it was too close for sibs, but obviously you won'y need to call them both at the same time.
My son that was stillborn was named Riley, and I decided on Milo for my next boy without realizing until weeks later that Riley and Milo are kind of close. The middle sounds and letters are exactly the same but I didn't notice when I first picked it out. I'm not changing it though.
It's kind of a personal choice for you to make. If you like the name than go for it, but if it is going to make you feel sad whenever you say it then you might want to change it.

Thank you thank you Laura W...my Navarra was stillborn at 38 weeks...what a coincidence that someone that responded to my post also had a stillbirth (I am very sorry to hear of your loss)...mine was a cord accident. I just had another girl 2 weeks ago and I am thinking I gave her the wrong name and should have gone with Amara instead of Soraya (Suh-ray-uh). Something just doesn't feel right. .

I'm sorry about your loss too.
My stillbirth was at 30 weeks and was unexplained, they don't know what happened. It sucks, cuz I'm really freaked out this time cuz I don't even know what I am trying to prevent from happening again.
Soraya and Amara are both nice names, you should use whichever one feels right.

Might want to avoid any amniocentesis (sp?) tests then 'cause they increase the risk of late term miscarriage... and they have a high false positive rate too for what they are, making them unreliable anyway.

I think only you and DH can determine that for yourselves.

I don't think it's too close.
