Thoughts on the name Rosa?

I found a relative in my family history whose last name was Rosa. I was initially thinking of using as a middle name but now I'm thinking about using it a first name instead.

What are your thoughts on it?

I'm not mad about it, but it's pretty and inoffensive.

Latina housekeepers in American films and TV programmes are always called Rosa.

I love it, we named our lost baby Rosa, so it's very dear to me x

myrtleWilson · 21/09/2017 21:02

We have it as a middle name - after Rosa Luxembourg. I (obviously) really like it!

Really beautiful, makes me think of Rosa Parks.

I like it.

Love it - we're currently expecting a girl and it's on our shortlist.

Poppyfields21 · 21/09/2017 20:23

I love it, so pretty but suits all life stages too

ichbineinstasumer · 21/09/2017 20:22

afraid I don't like - it sounds unfinshed to my ear

My Spanish teacher was called Rosa. It is a pretty but also kind of strong name, great.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/09/2017 20:07

Rosa is lovely !

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 21/09/2017 19:22

I had a bit of girl crush on Rosa Luxemburg when I was at school so it's a big yes here.

Discombobulated42 · 21/09/2017 19:20

Very pretty

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/09/2017 19:19

Beautiful. Makes me think of the fantastic and Inspirational Rosa Parks

Love!

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 21/09/2017 19:03

It’s very pretty, but not babyish. I think it’s a lovely name :)

Flopsbiggestfan · 21/09/2017 19:00

I love it and would have used it for dd3 but it just doesn't work with our surname.

OpalIridescence · 21/09/2017 18:03

I know an eight year old Rosa, it's a beautiful name.

devonbookworm · 21/09/2017 18:00

It's a beautiful name. Lovely for a little girl and very elegant for an adult.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 21/09/2017 17:59

Wonderful name.

Pretty in its own right, and instantly makes me think of Rosa Parks. Smile

I love it

I love it ❤️

I love it, it's one of my favourite girls names and it has a good history of strong women attached to it.
