Michele, my heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of your dear friend. What a beautiful manner you've chosen in which to remember her.

I do hope you come back to this message board, as many of us here have our reasons for not e-mailing strangers, and I'm sure others here will be posting their suggestions for you.

My own suggestion would be to use an anagram of Sarah Anne's name to create a new name for the baby. An anagram incorporates all of the letters which made up your friend's name, and rearranges them into something new.

---

In a way, this might represent a touching expression of one's desire for something new and hopeful to be created, incorporating the elements -- particularly the letters of the name -- of the one who has inspired this new little life.

Here are some anagrams of boys' names from "Sarah Anne":

Aaren Hans
Aaren Nash
Shane Aran
