We are having a girl, and think we have narrowed the shortlist of names down. I just thought I'd look for any constructive criticism, or ideas of similar names. Rosemary is pretty much a definite, it was my grandmothers name and DD is due around her birthday.

Evelyn Rosemary
Abigail Rosemary
Georgia Rosemary
Rosemary Grace

Both my favourites from your choices have gone now, so I'd go for something different. I don't like Evelyn. Abigail is ok.

I think we are tentatively crossing Georgia off the list, DH doesn't like it anymore (hooray!) He's also vetoed Rosemary as a 1st name though, as apparently his friends dog is called Romy.

So we are down to Evelyn Rosemary or Abigail Rosemary. Or something entirely different..

Love Rosemary Grace, really pretty name

ThingsThatShine · 29/05/2014 02:09

My favourite would be Abigail Rosemary, lovely name

Allalonenow · 29/05/2014 01:58

Abigail or Georgia with Rosemary as a middle name. I'm not keen on Evelyn and Eve / Evie is hugely popular ATM.

As an aside, have you thought of Romilly? Not a good match with Rosemary though I know.

CarriMarie · 29/05/2014 01:37

Of your choices I prefer Abigail Rosemary, but Rosalie as a first name could still be in honour of your grandma, and I like Rosie or Rose as nn.

PluggyMug · 28/05/2014 22:08

Rosemary or Abigail.

I'm not keen on Georgia. Evie is ubiquitous round our way, it's a pretty name but really overdone, and Evelyn reminds me of Marilyn and is dated to me.

janie2 · 28/05/2014 21:53

Love Rosemary nn Romy, was on our list for dd2 but we had d's!! My fave out of your list.

Viatrix · 28/05/2014 21:42

Rosemary nn Romy would be great Smile

funnyoldonion · 28/05/2014 21:15

Rosemary Grace, beautiful x

devoncreamtea · 28/05/2014 19:45

I love Rosemary Grace

Lots of options for nn's it up if she/you fancied - Rosie; Romy etc.

Second preference is Evelyn Rosemary

mathanxiety · 28/05/2014 18:45

I like Evelyn Rosemary and Rosemary Grace.

(Love Rosemary and also the nn Romy)

scarletforya · 28/05/2014 18:20

Abigail Rosemary

OnlyLovers · 28/05/2014 18:06

I love Rosemary, for a first name. But if you can't persuade DH then my next choice would be Abigail.

FeelingIrie · 28/05/2014 18:05

Definitely Rosemary Grace. Lovely.

oneboy3girls · 28/05/2014 18:02

Rosemary as a first name is simply beautiful.

oneboy3girls · 28/05/2014 18:02

Rosemary as a first name is simply beautiful.

Natalieh230780 · 28/05/2014 17:56

How about Rosalie as an alternative. My daughter is Matilda-rose and I wish is had chosen that now

Yama · 28/05/2014 17:53

Just read Bowler's post - love Romy.

Yama · 28/05/2014 17:52

I like Abigail the best. However, I love Evie as a nickname for Evelyn. Something about the full name I'm not keen on.

Georgia is ok.

What about Grace Rosemary?

Bowlersarm · 28/05/2014 17:52

Now I like Rosemary nn Romy, that's really lovely.

burgatroyd · 28/05/2014 17:49

I like Georgia

Evelyn is DH's favourite, he likes the name Evie. I don't dislike it, but it's a bit popular. I also keep spotting the name Evelyn everywhere now, and it's definitely creeping into the top 50 names. His second choice is Georgia which i am really not keen on.

I like Rosemary as a 1st name, but he doesn't, he think's it too old ladyish. He's probably right, but there's a lot of nicknames we could use (Romy, Rose, Rosie) that all sound good. Abigail is my second favourite, but I'm going off it a bit.

Naming babies is so hard :/ Might have to go back to the drawing board, again.
