Names for a stillborn baby girl?

Firstly, I wanted to say that I am not pregnant, I did not give birth to a stillborn. Sadly, one of my close friends has. Her daughter will never see the beauty of this world.

Can anyone suggest a name that might be appropriate for a stillborn baby girl, maybe because the name means angel, silence, beauty or something else that would relate to the situation?

Here is a poem that my friend found and is putting on a memorial stone for her daughter:
An angel opened the book of life
and wrote down my baby's birth.
Then she whispered as she closed the book
"too beautiful for earth".

Thankyou all very much.
Message from my friend:
Thankyou all so very much. Your kind messages mean more to me than you will ever know. My partner and I decided on the name 'Aurora' for our little angel. We actually visited teh Aurora Lights in Canada on our honeymoon and we both agreed they were some kind of magic. We promised to come back in a few years with our children. Also because of the fairytale, Sleeping Beauty. One of my favourites as a child, and we adore the idea that our little beauty is under a spell, forever sleeping peacefully.

Because more than one of you had suggested this name, and overall it was just to ahrd to pick a best answer anyway, we have put it to a vote because we thought that was the fairest thing to do. Thanks again for your support :)

Paloma- means dove

Calista (alt. Kallista) - Most beautiful (Greek)

Kaya- Restful place, yew tree, forgiveness; home; stone; willow, wise child; the one with the beautiful body,

11. I am so incedibly sorry to here about this. i know how hard it can be to lose a child. i wish your friend the best of luck to help her move on.

if you go to www.babynamesworld.com you can search for names by meaning, spelling, popularity, etc.

the name Angel is pretty appropriate in my mind. also the name Kaya (can be pronounced Kay-ah or Kie-ah) which means pure, Kate and Katelynn (can spell that any way) mean the same thing. the name Belle means beautiful but im not sure how popular that name is anymore. if none of these names fit or you want to do more research check out the website listed above. about every name known to man is up there with all kinds of meanings, spellings, and origins.
