Girls name ...Down to final 3! (I think!)

[cherw]

we're looking for a short, feminine name which would suit a child and adult.
So far we've got....

Holly, Ella or Rosa. Which is the nicest? And what middle name would you go for with your favourite?

Thanks in advance!

[mumnosGOLDisbest]

Holly Rose sounds nice. I think you need a 1 syllable name after 2.

[SophySinclair]

another vote for Rosa

Rosa Grace

[randomfemale]

All very pretty names.

I like Ella May

[FriggFRIGG]

Rosa

Rosa Beatrice

[mathanxiety]

Rosa Miriam
Rosa Madeleine
Rosa Caroline
Rosa Miranda
Rosa Lucinda
Rosa Felicity
Rosa Penelope
Rosa Pearl
Rosa Victoria
Rosa Vivienne

[Pitmountainpony]

I prefer Rose but they are all pretty I think.
Rosa is a really common Hispanic name where I live so those assumptions may be made later on in life......depending where she lives.......worth knowing

[TudorJess]

Holly Elizabeth
Holly Juliet
Holly Georgina
Holly Alexandra
Holly Miranda
Holly Rowena
Holly Catherine
Holly Amelia

[Badgerina]

Meh. There will be loads in her class. She'll end up with her last initial as a permanent suffix. They're sweet names, but incredibly popular.

[cherw]

Thanks everyone, most votes for Rosa then! I think Rosa Pearl is lovely.

badger understand what you're saying but we want to go for a name we love as a priority over trying hard to make point of being different. Where it ranks is not a concern to us.

[aufaniae]

Ella's my favourite.

Makes me think of Ella Fitzgerald :)

[BoerWarKids]

Rosa
Holly
Ella

In that order

I like;

Rosa Beatrice
Rosa Mary
Rosa Matilda
Rosa Juliet

[lisaro]

Really like them all. Please don't go for Ella May though as its very popular being screeched everywhere around here, usually with an expletive or two.

[HiHowAreYou]

I like Holly, then Rosa. Don't really like Ella.

[Pernickety]

I like Rosa.

[DontmindifIdo]

I like Holly best, then Rosa.

I think a long middle name with either, but not starting in a vowel for either.

[TenthMuse]

Definitely Rosa - simple, beautiful and by far the least popular.

[seeker]

And as for being incredibly popular, to put this into perspective, I know loads of children through various clubs and schools and I have a year 7 and a year 12.

In all of them I know 2 Ellas, 3 Hollys and no Rosas.

[MrsJohnDeere]

Holly

[Minty82]

I love Rosa, and am fighting hard to have it on the list for a theoretical future DD2 (struggling though - DH is a massive Bond fan and can't get past Rosa Klebb...)

Not really a fan of the other two, though I prefer Ella to Holly. But Ella always feels a slight non-name to me, as surely it just means 'she'?

[HolyParalympicGoldBatman]

I like Holly best, with a longer middle name;

Holly Elizabeth
Holly Evangeline
Holly Victoria
Holly Isabella

I know a couple of little ones called Holly, loads called Ella/Ellie, but none called Rosa.

[zingally]

All pretty in their own way. I like Rosa though, as the other 2 are a bit common/over used at the moment. And PLEASE don't do Ella May. Common as.

[valiumredhead]

Rosa is beautiful, a friend has called her baby this, such a nice name :)

[FruitSaladIsNotPudding]

Holly is great, Rosa nice. Really dislike Ella - very very popular and doesn't sound like a proper name to me.

Agree about Ella May!
