Hubby and I love both of these names but can't settle on one. Is Ffion too Welshy? Is Rose too much of a 'second name'?
Help.

Rose is classic. But a bit popular.

I like ffion. More unusual.

Would you give her a middle name?

Ffion Emily?
Ffion Skye
Ffion rose??
Ffion Elizabeth?

Rose everywhere here, lots of preschool Rosies...

Like Ffion, prefer Fiona (was on list for a couple of my DD's

100% Rose

Rose, I'm not keen in Ffion at all, don't like the way it sounds. Rose is popular as a middle name but not so much as a first name.

I love Rose as a first name.

I meant that would not stop me using it

I like both, but Rose has the edge. Chic and timeless Smile

Ffion is much nicer than Rose (ubiquitous middle name), but is very Welsh and might raise a few questions if you are not Welsh, don't live in Wales or have any connections with Wales. But it's still a lovely name, and that would stop me using it. What about Fiona - Scottish origin, but much more mainstream.
