I’m Mexican, and I brought a painting of her to my delivery room, which had also carried me through a miscarriage and 2 years of infertility. I had painted her holding baby Jesus (the original image depicts her pregnant), and she just gave me so much peace, seeing her lovingly gaze at her baby like I’d gaze at mine someday. She inspired me during pregnancy and labor, and since my husband also has a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Maria just seemed like the perfect name for our little rainbow baby 🙂 Reply Mama Kimberly Aug 11 at 6:55 pm My mom’s middle name is Marie but I switched the “e” to “a” to make it go better with my oldest daughter’s name! Reply toluwa Oct 23 at 3:37 am wow same thing happened to me Reply Maria Aug 10 at 9:42 am We chose to name our daughter after our Heavenly Mother, the blessed Virgin Mary.
