Expecting our DC3, a girl, in Jan and can't decide on a name. Keep coming back to either Rose or Robyn. Both go well with surname.
I've always loved Rose, as I think it's uncommon as a first name and such a feminine, classic, yet not too frilly/girly a name and I think it ages well. And it fits better with our other DCs' names. But I strongly dislike Rosie as I think it's a very different type of name, and DH thinks it's inevitable that family members will give her Rosie as a NN. This is putting me off a fair bit.
I also love Robyn, and this is DH's preference, as he thinks it has more about it and there's more potential for nicknames such as Bobby, which he loves.
I think it's lovely too especially for a winter baby but I keep thinking as a grown woman I'd rather be a Rose than a Robyn, so would my daughter? I feel like Rose is more classic and less likely to date. But then there is something really sweet and warm about Robyn.
We've still got a bit of time to decide but I'm one of those people that likes to decide things well in advance! What are people's thoughts? Will Rose get called Rosie? Which name between Robyn and Rose do you prefer on a grown woman? Which would you choose? Would appreciate your comments, many thanks!
