Which middle name for Rosa

91 replies

Busted2006 · 10/08/2023 20:55

First name is 100% set so not asking for opinions on it.

We are just stuck with the middle name.

Eliza - not sure if the double "z" sound is too much but we love the meaning
Emilia (too spanish when paired with Rosa)- the meaning isn't great but I like how it sounds

Last name is quite common, long English surname so anything goes with it really.

Rosa Eliza is beautiful! I say go for that. It has a lovely poetic ring to it.

Best wishes for her arrival! X

Rosa Elizabeth
Rosa Elsbeth
Rosa Elise

Rosa Emily
Rosa Emmeline

They are all variations of the names you like but go a bit better I think

Rosa Clementine

Personally I wouldn’t have 2 names ending “a” but that’s preference, also think a middle name starting in a vowel is hard with the first name ending in one.

Rosa is a beautiful name. Eliza is also lovely, just not sure how well they go together!

with a long surname I’d probably go for a short middle name, how about…

Rosa June
Rosa Quinn
Rosa Faye

or longer options
Rosa Felicity
Rosa Catherine
Rosa Edith (the hard E stops the vowel being an issue)

Every other girl seems to have Rose as a middle name Wink

I wouldn't use a middle name starting with A or E, and would avoid a name ending in a.

MissHavershamReturns · 10/08/2023 21:22

Love love love Rosa

Not keen on two A sounds though, sorry! I think will sound too similar. Rosa Mary eg sounds better to me.

I would also personally prefer the sound of a slightly longer middle name so it isn’t too samey with two short names.

Rosa Elizabeth?
Rosa Emmeline?

TheFoxCatcher · 10/08/2023 21:25

Emilia if it’s a choice between those two. Rosa Eliza sounds odd, like the start of a nursery rhyme Grin.

I’d personally go for a name that didn’t end in ‘a’ with Rosa, though (which is a beautiful name, even though you didn’t ask Wink).

Rosa Verde

as in the amazing M&S salad.

bravotango · 10/08/2023 21:34

Immediately came to mind - Rosa Octavia!

Busted2006 · 10/08/2023 21:34

Forgot to add that both are family names which is why we are considering them.

I would prefer a different ending but can't find anything else that we like

I know you posted that you didn't want opinions on Rosa, but I like it.

Pick a middle name you like and check the initials don't make a word (REK, REM or something)

My daughter is Rosa Helen - her middle name is to honour a friend who passed away but I also love the sound of it. Great taste in names you have there 😉 my Rosa is 3 and I'm still so in love with her name

Lovely name.

I absolutely love the name Rosa, I just know that we'll be so happy we choose it. We don't like any other name anywhere near as much
