I'm stuck. My beautiful baby girl was born on Sunday and we have no name! We have a shortlist but I'm not sure if any really suit her... please help!
We like the idea of having a name with different nicknames so that if it doesn't suit her she can use one of those (can you tell we're indecisive!).
Also don't want anything too cute and babyish as we want it to sound good when she's older too...
Roseanna (Rose/Rosie)
Jennifer (Jen/Jenny)
Emma
Katherine nn Kate/Katie (dS1 has a name beginning with a K so not sure if it's too much)
Annabelle (Anna/Annie)

Still no name (girl)

Emma is lovely

Mollie85 · 30/05/2018 19:44

From your list I love Jennifer, but she looks like a Lucy to me Bear
Congrats OP Flowers

Amelia (Millie / Amy) is a good name for a girl.

blinkineckmum · 30/05/2018 19:17

She looks a lot like a Rosanna.

diddl · 30/05/2018 16:12

Genevieve?

Babbaganoush · 30/05/2018 16:10

Congratulations! She's lovely Smile

To me she looks like an Annabelle or an Amelia.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 30/05/2018 16:05

Bubble, please forgive me, I meant to say what a totally adorable little peach she is ! 🌺🌺🌺 Congratulations.

JumpingFrogs · 30/05/2018 15:52

I have a Rosanna, now all grown up. The name has served her well. When she was little a few relatives called her Rosie but she prefers Rosanna. I would agree with previous posters that the spelling without the "e" is simpler and less likely that people will get it wrong (though we've had a few few odd spellings over the years!). I think its a name that suits a girl or woman of any age, and is a little unusual without beung too "out there". In two decades we have only met 3 others - (two Rosannas and one Roseanna). Having said that I like think all the names on your shortlist are lovely.

A pp said Sunday.
Sunday Rose is lovely. So is Annabel.

NameChangedForThisQ · 30/05/2018 15:12

She looks like an Annabel to me

FlatTopVera · 30/05/2018 15:05

I think she’s a Rosie or a Susie. Susanna or Rosanna.

AnyaMoondial · 30/05/2018 14:59

Congratulations! She is perfect! Jennifer is a fab name. Jenny is cute on a little one and Jen is v cool for when she is a teen Smile

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 30/05/2018 14:56

She looks like a Katherine to me, but Emmeline is also lovely, as is Caroline.

foxtiger · 30/05/2018 14:50

What a beautiful little girl! I quite like all the names on your list, but I think Roseanna and Jennifer might suit her best - only I think the first of those is more often spelt Rosanna, so I'd probably spell it that way if only to avoid people getting it wrong all the time!

coldcoldstar · 30/05/2018 12:16

Annabelle - what a lovely name! Beautiful baby, congrats!

KitXi · 30/05/2018 12:12

What a beautiful baby! My ovaries twanged a bit there! She looks like an Annabelle or Jennifer to me.

PurplePimplePin · 30/05/2018 12:03

Jennifer

Toyboysrus · 30/05/2018 11:57

I also thought Rose when I saw the photo but hadn't read your possible names yet but then I love flower names. I also love sleepsuits that are slightly too big so little tiny fingers are just poking out of the sleeves, your DD is adorable!

StripyDeckchair · 30/05/2018 11:48

I think she is an Annabel (or Annabelle) Rose (or Rosamund).

MollyHuaCha · 30/05/2018 11:41

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby!

Roseanna - nice
Jennifer - lovely
Emma - lovely
Katherine - lovely
Annabelle - nice

user1499786242 · 30/05/2018 11:35

She looks like a Rosie!!!!!

MrsMrsMrsMrs · 30/05/2018 11:33

Emmeline - Emme, Emma, Emmy is also nice

MaverickSnoopy · 30/05/2018 11:29

I must say as soon as I opened the thread and before I read your post, I thought she looked like a Rose.

Jammiebammie · 30/05/2018 11:27

Congratulations, so adorable!

I love the name Florence/Florrie - but when I opened up the pic I thought she looked like a Zoe! Different to what you like though lol.

5BlueHydrangea · 30/05/2018 11:23

Dd thinks she looks like Isabelle,
I like Elizabeth or Josephine
Most names can end up with nicknames no matter how long or short they are.
She's gorgeous
