Thinking of calling our daughter Rosanna or maybe Matilda. I love the name Rosanna, but tend to get a negative response when I discuss it with friends! Any thoughts? Thanks!

Both lovely. Maybe think which nn each would give?

Rosanna. It's gorgeous and not as popular as Matilda seems to be.

I like both names but would choose Rosanna as it's a bit more unusual

Rosanna - ignore the friends!

Dunno why your friends are giving that response to a really nice name but either of them are nice anyway

I much prefer Rosanna, I wish I had thought of it for dd. It is beautiful. I am not at all keen on Matilda.

I like Rosanna. Might be shortened to Rosie? With Rosanna, there's a celeb-type where I'm from, who everybody would think of unfortunately...

I like both and don't know any children with either names!

Rosanna is a great name. One of my closest friends is called that.

Personally prefer Rosa or Roseanne over Rosanna which seems a bit frilly. But anything over Matilda, really dislike it.

Thank you for responses so far, nicknames would be Rosie for Rosanna and Tilly for Matilda.

Rosanna is lovely and a lot more unusual.

Both beautiful names although I'll lean towards Matilda as I know a lovely one Grin

Matilda.
But I am definitely in the minority the only Rose name I like is Rose.
I think the rest are really frilly and icky

I like both but there's something that stopped me from using Matilda in the past - not sure what so not very helpful!

I really like Rose/Rosa & Anna & Rosanna is a very pretty name so I would go with that!

I prefer Matilda by a million miles.

Rosanna is outdated. It makes me think of someone over the age of 50. But I like both Rose and Anna on their own.
