Hannah Wish
How about a name that has a similar meaning -- something expressing happiness about your child but that lets her have a relatively regular name?
Asha, Nadia, and of course Hope all mean "hope." Dasia, Dora, Dorothy, Theodora, Mattea -- all either "gift" or "gift from God." For "faith" you could use Faith or Imani.

We like out there names! I think that Wish is going to be the first name b/c Believe seems a little to out there. Caralyn Wish nn Cara is what we’re going with. WDYT? Her whole name would be Caralyn Wish Myers nn Cara! ~Garrett and Stephanie/Poll Creaters

I don’t understand. You said Wish would be the first name, but then you said Caralyn Wish would be the name.
I guess if you’re going to use a name like Wish, that hiding it in the middle is the way to do it.
I wonder how your daughter will feel about it as she goes through life. Yeah, it’s a lovely idea that you wish and waited for so long, but that’s so much about you and your story. Maybe she won’t particularly like having a name that is Mom and Dad’s story. It’s all heartwarming to you, but should your child have to constantly bear, as her name, your heartwarming story? It’s kind of like those people who name their children kind of odd things that turn out to be place names of where the child was conceived. Rupert Spokane Wiggins, etc.
I guess I just wouldn’t use a "meaningful story" word as a name unless I would also consider using that word without it being part of the story. And since I would never consider naming my child something like Wish, just having a wishful story to want to relate wouldn’t make me do it.

I like Caralyn Wish too. I know a little girl called ’Shine’ and just hearing her name makes me smile. Her parents aren’t out there hippies or anything like that either.
