Which name for baby girl?

43 replies

Please could I have some opinions on my short list for a baby girl?
We are struggling to choose the final one.

We have:

Juliet
Rosa
Allegra
Genevieve (?maybe a bit too princessy)

on the shortlist.

Any comments/ favourite/ worst name would be helpful.

austin allegra is that ?

yes i know it isn't but that's what people will think...

You have some lovely names, don't pick that one!

cautiouslyoptimistic · 11/08/2014 00:16

Juliet

You're going to have a nightmare if you pronounce Allegra Al aye gra- because everyone will say Al eg- ra. Honest.

Choose one of the others.

Allegra is much nicer than the other names.

DramaAlpaca · 11/08/2014 00:03

Love Juliet, and Rosa & Genevieve are nice too.

Allegra sounds a bit harsh to my ears.

I very much like Juliet Genevieve and Allegra and it's difficult to pick a favourite as they are all lovely.

I'm not too keen on Rosa as it seems a bit bland, but how about Rosamund or Rosalind?

Juliet is lovely. The others are nice enough but Juliet's the best on the list by miles.

freyaW2014 · 10/08/2014 23:46

I'm Genevieve and I say Genevieve! I'm not a princess though! Lol x

Love Juliet and Rosa (probably slightly prefer Juliet), not too keen on Allegra or Genevieve.

Nocturne123 · 10/08/2014 21:31

Juliet is beautiful

Treesandbees · 10/08/2014 21:29

I only like Rosa. Isn't Allegra a pizza in Pizza Express??

Not keen on Allegra, but love the others.

I love Rosa. Not too keen on the others I'm afraid.

MyNameIsSuz · 10/08/2014 21:23

I love Allegra!!!

Rivercam · 10/08/2014 21:17

Allegra reminds me of a car. Love the other names.

Alternatives:
Rosalind,
Rosemary
Julia

Buttercup27 · 10/08/2014 21:12

Sorry but how do you pronounce Allegra?

AnythingNotEverything · 10/08/2014 21:11

I love Genevieve. Pronounced the English way I assume?
