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

I prefer it to Rose. In fact, I love it. I know one very feisty and lovely little Rosa.

I strongly don't like it.
I know a lovely 13yo with the name but I still cringe at it. I keep thinking "Pink"? They named their daughter "pink"? Confused Yes I know it means "Rose", too, but I prefer "Rose". Rosemary even better.

I absolutely love this.

Didn't go for it purely because I am a little bit Jonathan Ross in the way I pronounce my R's.

I think it's lovely.

Have to disagree, don't think it sounds too grown-up for a baby in fact I think it sounds great for a baby or a grown-up. I'm not a big fan of cutesy baby names though, always think that you should choose a more adult sounding name as they will spend the large proportion of their life living as an adult.

Very pretty.

it's a lovely name and she won't be a baby for long.
she can aspire to be like Rosa Parks!
