I am looking for an unfussy name that works in various languages. One syllable would be good. I like Ros but none of the longer versions, so what about Rose?
Any opinions or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Oh thanks you all.
I can't use Kate, but will probably (hopefully) either have Margaret or Kathryn as a middle name.

So list is now

Rose
Meg
May

Not sure if they go with the middle names but now I'm getting somewhere! Thank you.

I have a Meg. I adore the name. Liv was on my list for dc2 (Olive nn Liv) but ee had a son.

I looooove the name Rose.

Thanks. I really love Meg, but my partner says that it's too American.
Just to give ideas about how I think... I like most of those but...

Eve - too popular
Claire - already used
Fleur - don't like the sound
Liv - I love Olivia, but is it too popular?
Ruth - bad associations
Tess - too posh?
Nell - I like it. A bit pretentious?
Meg - love it
Belle - too pretty!

Thanks again
