“We added my best friends name ‘Mireya’ as a middle name because it means miracle. This was a high risk pregnancy with an IUGR baby that we are so thankful made It through delivery. It was only fitting,” wrote the woman who named her baby after her best friend in the comments with a heart emoticon. “My mom named her first daughter after her best friend, Omega. And so I became Alpha,” posted an individual. “This is beautiful! Her face/reaction says it all,” remarked another. “Her reaction is so pure,” wrote a third.
