It's a girl! Let the naming begin - Rose or Nina?

So we found out we are having a girl to complement our DS1. So I can now thankfully put aside boy names and focus in girls names. Middle name will be Catherine.

Currently we have narrowed it down to Rose or Nina? My son is called George. Another option is Laura.

Your thoughts?

Nina, love it!

Nina-Rose?

Rosa Catherine?

All good names!

I love Nina. Would have been a strong contender if I had a DD

ArtigeneAuberchoke · 28/12/2012 20:41

Nina.

I think Nina Catherine is good but Nina Rose is lovely.

Rose. I love how its so ageless. I know a cute little girl, a young work colleague and my gym instructor in her late 50's who all wear the name well.

I'd go with
Laura Catherine
Rose Catherine
in that order simply because Laura is due a revival.

I'm not sure flower names suit all DDs, I know a tiny beautiful Rosie who's name is perfect even as an adult.

DDs tom boy friend Daisy, I'm not convinced about.

I love Nina. I am not sure it goes with Catherine.

DDs middle name is Rose.

MissyRain · 28/12/2012 11:58

Nina

SantasNaughtySack · 28/12/2012 11:57

Laura is wonderful, and grows with a child into an adult.
Also, Lauras I know tend to be gorgeous and great company Wink

I love the name Rose, like Laura but unlike everyone else on this thread really don't like Nina!

Selks · 28/12/2012 11:55

Nina

shriekingnora · 28/12/2012 11:46

George and Nina might sound a little like Georgina? Just something to consider. Nina is a fab name though.

rubyslippers · 28/12/2012 11:44

I love the name Nina and Laura

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 28/12/2012 11:41

Rose (for me). A friend has just named her dd this and its such a beautiful.name.

Fwiw I also love Nina and had it.on the shortlist for.my dd. I just think Rose goes better with Catherine.

Congratulations! Both names are beautiful but I prefer Rose to go with Catherine. DD4 is currently sleeping soundly in my arm(s) and we considered Catherine for her :)
