Hmm, Alice.

Or Rosie with a longer version such as Rosalind.

Martha or Alice - love them both. Rosie is a bit bland imo.

Rosie- love that name

It's also nice with a longer version though.

Alice, it's my DD's name

Alice gets my vote.

Rosie is a bit too twee unless it is a shortening of something else. Rosemary, Rosamund or even a pet form of just Rose.

Martha ok, but I'm not a big fan of granny chic names generally, and for me this falls into that category.

Alice too (but I'm biased as my little girl is Alice).

Alice of course. My Alice is gorgeous. I don't know how popular it is where you are now but in 18 years since she was born I've only known about a dozen. Rosie is too popular. I like Martha as well but not as much as Alice!

All nice. I would choose Rosie, I think. Prefer Rosa though.

Love all three names! My DD1 is an Alice so that gets my vote although Rose and Martha were my other 2 choices!!

Martha!

They're all lovely.

Alice is very pretty, but Martha is a bit more interesting. Rosie is lovely but I'd prefer it as a nickname for Rose - I met an adult Rosie and I did find it slightly twee on her.

Alice or Martha, then :D
