On the shortlist of names are Josephine and Beatrice (probably Josie and Bea day to day) - one of these names, not twins! But I'm a first-timer and don't know many little girls - are these names really popular at the moment?
Also like Rose...

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Bea slightly more popular than Bea, I'd say. I know a Bea aged 6 and a Josie aged 3.

I don't know any Josies. There is one Beatrice in my dc's school.

Far more Roses imo. Beatrice or Josephine with Bea or Josie / Posie get my vote.

I know a Josie & a Bea both in the same class at school.

Don't know anymore though. I am in the East of England.

I think Beatrice/Bea is quite popular though not overly so.

Rose is also quite popular - though possibly more as a middle name.

Josephine/Josie is quite rare as far as I can tell.

I don't know any Josies or Beas

I work in a children's centre and I have a lot to do with several schools, so I know quite a lot of children

so I don't think they are common here (SW)

The littlest Duggar baby is called Josie though
