I am 31 weeks preg with a baby girl.... been having a hard time picking a name that me and my hunny both like. Recently we agreed on Amaya. Then, just the other day we read in the news about a little girl who was hit accidently and killed by her grandmothers truck. (very sad of course) She had the same name, just spelled Aamiyah. I actually like that spelling better, and would use it, but Im wondering if thats too creepy, or if I should choose a new name all togehter?

That is a personal decision. A family friend of ours had a son, and named his after his father, well he died when he was only a year old. The mother later got pregnant again with another boy, and gave him the same name... As an outsider this was weird for me.. but the family is totally happy with it and the boy that was given the name of his brother is now in his 20s and proud to have his brothers name. So I guess it would just depend on the person! best of luck to you and if you decide to keep the name it is a beautiful name! and you had your heart set on the name before you read the paper it is not like your giving the baby her (the deceased girls) name.

No there is nothing wrong with it at all and it's not creepy.
My mother is very superstiouse and she used to tell me "you are not allowed to have any baby stuff in the house until the baby is born cause it is bad luck" And because i have miscarried before but i didnt pay any attention to her, i dont believe in that stuff so i am getting my bubs room set up for when he is born.
It is a tragedy that it happened to the little girl but it is just a name, it will not bring your bub any bad luck so dont worry. The name is beautiful and i really like the other spelling to so if you both like it i would name your baby girl that. Congrats!

Go with your original spelling and keep the name. I wouldn't use the spelling of the other girl. It will always remind you of her tragedy. Amaya is a lovely name and a better spelling. Aamiyah is confusing.

a million. i'm no longer probable prepared on it, except it fairly is a center call or if it makes for an excellent nickname. i comprehend a father and son named Darrell and Darrell Junior, and the son is going by using DJ with i admire. yet i might prefer something like if the fathers call replaced into Samuel, and that they named the son John Samuel. yet naming the infant suitable after the discern, in simple terms is'nt my cup of tea. no longer something undesirable approximately it, in simple terms no longer for me. 2. Now that i think of approximately it, confident. despite if i'm no longer a extensive fan of Hewie, I nonetheless think of it fairly is incredibly attractive and it does artwork as nickname for helpful. 3. confident, there are a pair fashionable/modern names i admire yet that being suggested, they at the instant are not the "made up" fashionable they're the classic fashionable. (Declan, Sophia, Maia, Jackson) 4. 3 in my view may well be suitable. 5. Ben <3

Stick to the first name (complicated spellings don't work in the real world. I've changed my name recently because I became fed up of having to spell out my name to people.) I don't think what happened should change your mind, it's completely unrelated and such an unfortunate coincidence (poor girl) but at the end of the day you should go with what you love. If a few years time when you think of that name, this tradedgy won't pass your mind, instead you will think of your beautiful daughter.

That's ridiculous.
What if you were going to call her Christine and the
girl that died was called Christine?
It's only creepy if it's some drawn out child murder case
like we had in Australian for Azaria Chamberlain and
Jayden Leskie.
I would go ahead with Amaya.

It would only be creepy if she was in some way related to you. I know someone that lost a child and decided when they had another baby that they would name the baby the same name. That isn't right because a new baby is not a replacement.

I think you should stick with it. We've picked Lacey for a girl but I think of Laci Peterson who was the pregnant women killed by her husband a few years ago. My son's name is Christian James and recently a friend told me she heard about a terminally ill child with cancer with the same name. I don't think we can go by superstition naming our children. Bad things have been done or happened to someeone with every name.

Since the deceased child is not related to you, I wouldn't worry about it. However, I would suggest you stick with the Amaya version. Remember, your child has to learn to write that name. Also, the mother of the deceased child may learn of you naming your child that and either totally freak out that you stole her baby's name, or be flattered that you liked it so well.

Honestly, to me... because you know of the misfortune of the other girl it wouldn't be a bad idea to re consider changing your choice of name all together.
Not because of superstition or anything, but just because whenever you look at your baby girl and say her name you WILL
think of this tragedy... seriously you will
Its already causing doubts and she's not even here yet....
Sorry but, I if it were me.. I'd reconsider
Don't get me wrong~ it is a wonderful name and ultimately its your child so whatevs...its just that do you really want to be reminded of a little girl who was killed by a truck everytime you (or someone else) says your child's name?....
