C
My cousin is called Raphaella (spelt with two Ls) and I think it is a gorgeous name. She's stunning too so it really suits her!

I thought of the chocolate too! One of the reasons we didn't opt for the Raffaella spelling. Bloody lovely chocolate though. Smile

It's the two a endings that make me say c. But don't really think winter is great either. Nickname rapha/y is cute, rosa is lovely, sienna is nice enough, just think they're a bit hard to say. But looks like I'm the minority

I like Emmeline.

Just realised Raphaela reminds me of that chocolate bar with a similar name.

Suburban, I like the idea of naming her after a strong female. I love Emmeline (Pankhurst) as well, but that would be a bit too much with Raphaela!

Definitely A
B is a bit rhyme-y

belgiannun · 24/08/2017 22:27

C

Systamex · 24/08/2017 22:27

Raphaela Rosa is gorgeous!

NikiBabe · 24/08/2017 22:27

A if I must choose but I dont like them at all.

Sienna sounds too much like senna laxatives.

Shemozzle · 24/08/2017 22:26

Ooh tough! I'm going with C. Though I love A because I love alliteration in names. Not keen on B for the reason you mentioned. It's very now, and I've heard Sienna yelled in strong scouse too often in my local park.

EllaHen · 24/08/2017 22:25

A

mummytwoh · 24/08/2017 22:25

Definitely not Sienna. It's a beautiful name I love it but don't think it flows at all

I like A although personally would go for Rose instead of Rosa

Allthebubbles · 24/08/2017 22:23

C

LottieDoubtie · 24/08/2017 22:22

Winter for a September baby is a bit baffling to me so I'll vote A.

I really like all your choices though-good taste!

AccrualIntentions · 24/08/2017 22:18

C.

SuburbanRhonda · 24/08/2017 22:16

Is here any reason why you're naming her after Rosa Parks particularly?
