Currently petitioning DH for Rose for this baby (if it's a girl), so Rose! But both beautiful.

Kate is probably more unusual these days so I'd go for that but love both.

Rose, Kate's probably gaining in popularity due to that royal chick.

Ooh. Kate and Rose are on my list if we have a girl! We have a long surname so shirt names are best! Kate winning for me right now.

I always wanted a DD called Kate. I love it. But then I realised that most of my family drop the 't' when saying it. So had to abandon all names with t in. Love Charlotte too.

I much prefer Rose but mainly because there are so many adults and children called Kate or Katie where I live.

I love both. If I had had a DD she would have been Rose so I will go for that but I do love Kate also. I would have gone for Katharine with Kate for short but I have known Kates who are just Kate.

Kate.

Rose is much more popular nowadays. I love Kate. Bummed I can't use it myself as its already taken by someone in the family (same goes for Rose, but I like the vibe of Kate more).

I love both so I'm no help.

If it was Kate I'd personally have Katherine on the BC, but I'm aware Kate's a standalone name too.
