Opinions please on Anna or Rosa. I'm 7 months pregnant and we like both Anna and Rosa as first names. We have a Tom already.

I love both, but slightly prefer Rosa today :)

Hi I have a 6 months old called Anna - it was ds choice in the end as we could not decide on any other name, have to say I love it even if I keep going back to think what if I had given her a more particular name... In Italy is super popular at the moment ( italians tend to like classic names, as opposed to different ones) and that bothers me a bit. I am always looking for a nice different nickname for when she is little. Given that she is Anna Vittoria what about Ottie ??

I prefer Rosa / Rosanna / Rosanne - but I am biased!

Thanks all, it seems pretty evenly split between the two! We are thinking of Elizabeth as a middle name (but open to suggestions!).

Surname is two syllable starting with B.

I have one of your choices (5 month old) and the other one is my sisters favourite baby name Grin. They are both lovely. But not a fan of Rosalie.

Anna

Ulysses · 20/07/2011 11:23

I have a 16 week old Anna.

daimbardiva · 20/07/2011 11:15

Love both - Anna has the edge for me though

ragged · 20/07/2011 10:51

Anna I like a lot, and it isn't that common, either.
I don't like Rosa much.

zenoushka · 20/07/2011 10:42

Anna is really pretty.

birdofthenorth · 20/07/2011 01:03

Rosa. Or Rosalie.

SmilingKiwi · 19/07/2011 22:08

I love Anna. It's pretty but strong.

handsomeharry · 19/07/2011 22:01

I love Anna. It's a beautiful name.

Sinkingfeeling · 19/07/2011 21:58

I love both - Rosa would obviously be less common if that's important to you. What middle names are you thinking of?

Domesticbodess · 19/07/2011 21:55

You have great taste IMO. Both lovely - may be see what she looks like. Does one go better with your surname?

reastie · 19/07/2011 21:16

both good choices, I prefer anna personally

Mumbrane · 19/07/2011 21:10

Both lovely, but I prefer Rosa by a whisker.

They were in my top three had DS2 been a boy. Both are lovely but I slightly prefer Rosa

DriverDan · 19/07/2011 20:21

Love Anna, I have an 11 month old one. We get lots of compliments for it and I am yet to meet another one under 10.

WaitingForBabyD · 19/07/2011 16:09

Rosa for me

Hedwig3 · 19/07/2011 16:00

Both lovely but Rosa is my favourite, simply beautiful.

katz · 19/07/2011 15:15

i like Anna but prefer longer versions, slightly biasedly i like Annalise (as we have a dd called this) but we also liked Annabel, Annalisa, Anastasia not keen on Rosa.

ThePathanKhansWoman · 19/07/2011 15:12

I love Anna, my ones Anna Rose Ellen, so i would say that Grin, i know what you mean Kayano it is everywhere, but i love it, and i've never met an Anna i didn't like.
