I feel like this sounds far too grown-up for a baby but I do really like it. What do others think?

Lovely

I also have to say I can't recall having met a child called Rosa. I met a woman called Rosa about 15 years ago, and DH recently worked with one, but that's it. I don't think it's so popular.

I think it's lovely and I also like Rosalind. Not that you were asking :)

Yes, I was just thinking two blue2711 that it's perhaps due a surge in popularity as it's unusual here to get such a positive response to a name.

Could not find the stats for the UK, but in the US it is in the top 400, in Canada it is in the top 100 but just...

It is my own baby's second name Smile

blue2711 · 13/06/2011 20:53

I agree and it's on the list for DC2. However, it's worrying me how popular it is after reading all these positive replies! Are there lots and lots of them? Does anyone know where it is in the top 100?

Love it. Also love Rosanna, and just slightly less Rosamund.

Jezabelle · 13/06/2011 20:25

Beautiful

loobylu3 · 13/06/2011 20:17

Beautiful name! She won't be a baby for long so best to find a name that suits all ages.

bibbitybobbityhat · 13/06/2011 13:11

Gorgeous. Even better than Rose and Rosie.

bemybebe · 13/06/2011 13:06

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!

Kestryn · 13/06/2011 13:04

Beautiful.

Rosa · 13/06/2011 13:01

I like it but then I would Smile

oohlaalaa · 13/06/2011 12:51

Lovely

telsa · 13/06/2011 12:48

gorgeous - elegant and also suits a little one, I think.

lindy100 · 13/06/2011 12:44

I love it.

PurpleStrawberry · 13/06/2011 10:01

I absolutely love it.

Remember, you're not just naming a baby, you're naming a person for life.

Jojay · 13/06/2011 09:38

I love it, and I know a 2 yo Rosa who it suits perfectly.

Go for it.

MollysChamber · 13/06/2011 09:34

I really like it.

Which is unusual for these threads.

Not too grown up at all.

franke · 13/06/2011 09:33

I like it.

BulletWithAName · 13/06/2011 09:32

I hate it. I just think of an middle aged Spanish cleaning lady when I hear it. Much prefer Rose, Rosie or Roseanne.

Hedwig3 · 13/06/2011 09:30

Fabulous name.

She won't be a baby for long.

A1980 · 12/06/2011 23:22

I don't think it does sound too old for a baby. People are giving their babies names such as Mabel and Ethel these days so I don't think Rosa's too old.

It's a very pretty name. A baby won't always be a baby and Rosa is great on a teenager and adult. The reverse however isn't always true and the cutesy flowery names such as Daisy or Poppy may not work on an adult whereas they work for young children.

FriggFRIGG · 12/06/2011 17:32

i think Roza is known as Rozalka in Czech though...
