Lara Rose?

lastnightidreamt · 22/02/2013 21:39

Lara for sure

Wereonourway · 22/02/2013 21:40

Rose for me

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 22/02/2013 21:42

Lara.

Confuseddd · 22/02/2013 21:43

I adore Lara because of the film Dr Zhivago. Rose is lovely too.

Confuseddd · 22/02/2013 21:45

Have you thought of Rosa? Only second thoughts are That Rose reminds me of Rose West - sorry, not a good association.

mummabug · 22/02/2013 21:45

I'm avoiding MN Rose, it would only be an option as first name....I like both Lara and Rose but DH only likes Rose....conundrum!

Other options that DH likes are Matilda or Perdy. I've gone off of both of these though!

Tabitha?

mummabug · 22/02/2013 21:51

I LOVE Tabitha and would use it in a heartbeat but DH does not like it..boo hoo :( x

Rose.

libertyflip · 22/02/2013 21:55

Like Lara but love Lyra more. Rose is nice but prefer it as a middle name.

Lyra Rose is fabbie imo!

libertyflip · 22/02/2013 21:57

Oh sorry, just saw you only want Rose as first name. Tis nice.

mummabug · 22/02/2013 21:57

Argh, DH has announced he prefers Matilda to Rose

Matilda has lots of cute shortening a - Tilly, Tils, Tilda, Matty. Mum abut, you are making me broody for a girl baby! I only have boys...

Confuseddd · 22/02/2013 22:00

Mummabug obv... Darned predictive text.

mummabug · 22/02/2013 22:09

ha! Have found settling on a name a complete farce and so difficult though...think I've found the 'one' about four times now then within two weeks am back to square one!

As long as you have a few possibles then you can decide when you meet her. my colleague went right to the wire with her boy and decided on the way to register office at 6 weeks. And come to think of it, my other friend changed her son's name when he was 18 months old because it didn't suit him!

What about Araminta? Minty for short.

Lara. Or how about Lorna?

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 23/02/2013 01:36

Tamsin
Tamara

Still like the name Lara Smile

CruCru · 23/02/2013 14:54

Lara would suit a grown up woman more than Rose, I think. The problem with cute names is I can never imagine a 40 year old with a job and kids being called that name.
