Naming your child after vs. a miscarried sibling?

I struggle with getting pregnant. A few years ago I lost a baby boy due to a second trimester miscarriage. We are finally pregnant again, and are thinking about naming our second son after the one we lost. What does everyone else think of this? Is it something you would avoid? Or would you do it? We would appreciate your honest opinions. Thank you.

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
