Suggestions for names that mean lucky, or chance, something like that in the name's meaning. Boy or girl. We were so so so not trying, this one (#5) was an oops. We've nicknamed it 'lucky', thought it would be cute to keep with that idea. However, we are not going to actually use Chance or Lucky. Any Ideas?

Apparently #5 was meant to be! How about Felicity for a girl or Felix for a boy?

Well, let's see. Beatrice means blessed. Stella means star. Fallon means leader. All appropriate, I think.

What do you think nn for Beatrice are? It's cute. I never would've thought that on my own. I'm going to look up the p.p. names too.

I know a girl who lives in Serbia named Beatrice (pronounced Baya-treece). Her nick name is spelled Bea pronounced Bay-a. I love that. You could use that pr. even with the standard American pr. of Beatrice.
