name your new baby after a deceased child?I ask because my friend is pg&is considering naming her baby the mn of her daughter,who passed away in a car accident 3yr.ago.Alyssa never went by Danielle,so Lori thinks that it would be a good way to honor Lyssa,but I'm just not sure.She would be Danielle Faith..Would you do it?I was just wondering.Thanks in advance.*dawn

I don't see anything wrong with it. I probably would not use the same first name but a mn or using the fn as the mn seems a great way to honor the deceased child and give the new child a special connection to the sister she never got to know. I love the name danielle.
