Beautiful Charachter for an innocent soul ....

[mistyqu]

Hi there~

Ive lived in China for years now and my husband and I have recently had a miscarriage. I am wishing to find a charachter or set of charachters to represent our our love for the lost baby(to tattoo).

Please guys give me some insight~

Thanks

Hi, Mistyqu:

I'm very sorry to hear your story.

I tried hard to think, but couldn't come up with a perfect name for your lost child. But what stayed in my mind for a long time was "馨(sweetly)存(existence)" or "馨儿". 馨 also has the same pronunciation as 心 (heart) and the name can be interpreted as "always exist in (my) heart".

Hope that other people can bring up better ideas.

All the best to you!

thanks for the help. it will go on my list ..........

guys? anyone else with suggestions?

How do you think about 永失我爱 which means " I lost my darling forever. or 天堂里有妈妈的爱　（my love is around you in the heaven),maybe this is a bit long as a tattoo. oh, I am a Chinese whose english is limited

I am sorry for your lost...

馨 is really a beautiful character.

or quit similar to the suggestion from CrisPal, "天堂有爱" is pretty nice and shorter i think, it means (My) love lives in the paradise.

Thank you all for the help!!!!! Its been constantly on my mind and i am looking forward to finding the perfect way to remember 'her'.

I am hoping for something short and easy....

if i do use the "馨" charachter can we do another variation?

who else votes for "馨"?

Other suggestions?

[CrisPal]

Directly,people can hardly grasp what`s the meaning of ＂馨＂．the baby`s name? In fact,

馨 has no meaning of "memary" or "missing",it came across to" good" "warm" or"fragrant"

for eg　温馨　德艺双馨　馨香一瓣　馨 in these words shows some happiness meaning.

so as a Chinese,i prefer the word 永失我爱

Thanks for your insight CrisPal!

Just so you know Im not hoping to remember the child as something Im missing or something Ive lost(There is no need for obvious referance to a death). I want something more as a sign of love.... So yes 永失我爱 is a lovely option.

Whats your opinion on simply "永爱"?

and

Does "馨存" carry any feeling in your mind? Is it understandable?

[mistyqu]

Thanks for your insight CrisPal!

Just a quick note i do not want to remember the child as something ive "lost" or something "missing"....... i want a rememberance to symbolize love.

so yes 永失我爱is a great option. what do u think of simply 永爱?

what comes to mind when you see 馨存? is it well put?

Thanks again!

[CrisPal]

The most important thing is you want to express your LOVE to the baby,right?But

''馨存''can not do that,in fact,the two chinese charactars are with no meaning together.

so as to 永爱 is not better than 永失我爱,and，the former is not proper way in chinese.

Although I can hardly get another word better than 永失我爱 but,maybe you think it is a bit sad.So,why do you get the baby a Chinese name? That is simple,then.

I'd like to suggest "馨儿" again, as this shows more clearly the fact that the tattoo is for a baby. In fact, "馨儿" itself makes a nice nickname for a girl, so it'd be as if you tattoo with your baby's name. Forget about "馨存" now. It's no good.

I think you should await more suggestions before making the decision.
