Baby names

Deep breath......what do you think of these girls' names?

Am having triplets and have a mixture of flavours. Boys' names have been easy to come up with for some reason, girls' names not so much...

Freya
Rosanna
Estella

Too 'girly' or ok? Which (if any) do you like?

Rosanna and Estella both too frilly for me - Freya better but so popular

Rose or Rosa?
Esther?

congrats on the triplets (I have twins). We found girls much easier to choose than boys (but ended up with 3 boys !).

I am ok with all of those (wouldn't have chosen them personally) - would have Estelle rather than Estella.

I like Freya best out of your choices, but it's getting really popular.

Rosanna and Estella are too girly for my tastes but there's nothing "wrong" with them. I prefer Estelle, FWIW.

i don't like rosanna, but like rosie or rosa.

like estella but think i like estelle better.

have never been a fan of freya (sorry - purely due to a freya i knew)

i do as a rule really like girls names ending in 'a'.

sophia
anya
eva
ella
etc

Like Freya, though was v popular a few years ago.

Indifferent to Rosanna (but love Roxanne which is similar)

Prefer Stella or even Estelle to Estella.

I like Rosanna and Estelle/a very much. Borth names work well in other languages too.

Not keen on Freya.

Congratulations!

Estelle is lovely

not keen on all names ending the same, too cutesy whootsy I think

but congrats on triplets, how wonderful! Have just finished reading a book by Jackie Clunes called 'Extreme Motherhood' - about her experiences of having triplets from the first scan to their first birthday. Think she's just got another one out as sequel. True story, was really interesting

I like Freya but not the others.

What about Fleur?

Report
GossipMonger · 12/01/2009 12:38

I actually like all of them.

What about though

Fleur
Rosie
Estella

I think there are too many 'a' endings for your names and is a bit of a mouthful when you say them all together.

Nell
Annabel
Imogen
Bea
Romilly

are my current favourites though I am not having anymore and have two boys!

congratulations btw - when did you find out and have you any other children?

Thanks so much for your views - it is very htjuard to be objective when you have been trying to find any names you both would consider. I haven't got three girls so would only need two of the three.

Thanks also for the congratulations - I am 27 weeks and due to deliver the babies at 34 weeks (if I can hold on that long!). They will be our first (and only) children

I prefer Stella and Rose and not keen on Freya - i do think your choices are a tad girlie and twee.

Rosanna is lovely, not mad-keen on the other two...

oh, didn't read op properly - didn't realise you were having triplets! congratulations!

i agree about not having all 3 names ending in same sound...

Know a baby Estelle (which I like), but she is always called Ellie - and there are so many of those about.

I like the other names too

MrsMattie · 12/01/2009 15:12

Al very nice, but I love Roseanna - gorgeous.

Report
Bubbaluv · 12/01/2009 15:26

I would go for Rosa or Rosita and Stella.
What about Camilla, Ramona, Rachel...I had the opposite problem to you. Sooo many girls names but no boys names and am having a boy. Now I can't remember the girls names I liked. Baby brain has set in

MrsKing · 12/01/2009 16:11

how about Anna? I want a girls name ending in 'a' but agree that might not be good having all names end the same.

Congrats on triplets!
