Expecting a new baby? Counting down the days until they’re out of your belly and in your arms? We hear you. For a lot of expectant parents, the pregnancy struggle is real. Sometimes, it’s the waiting game itself that gets you.

Despite the ups and downs of bringing a beautiful baby into the world, the harvest and Thanksgiving season reminds us that there are so many reasons to feel grateful. You might have a few of your own—whether it’s your amazing medical team, the care and support of your family and friends or the strength your body shows every single day as it gears up for labor, delivery and postpartum.

There are many meaningful ways you can express your gratitude for baby and the pregnancy journey, too—even after the turkey’s been stuffed, the last slice of piping-hot pumpkin pie’s been gobbled up and the buzz of Thanksgiving has slowed down.

Here are 60 of the most heart-warming and wholesome girl and boy names that mean “gratitude” for your mini miracle—perfect if you’re due right around autumn—aka, the season of gratitude.
