Not sure if it's a boy or girl, but I would love something that means "miracle" (6 years trying so this is our miracle) or "good heart" (the main trait I want my child to have). It would be cool if it were of Danish origin, but that is not as important. We so want to use family names, but either they are horrible or taken (we're the last ones to have kids and all the names we wanted are taken).
