Our surname is Jeansley and we're keen on something short, sweet and simple. Personally I want a name that isn't popular so they don't ever bump into too many people with the same name...

Also thinking of 'June' - classy, short and maybe not overused?

June Jeansley is a no go.

Lila Jeansley - this spelling.

sophiec123 · 19/09/2018 23:55

DD is called Mila (Meela)

CalonGlas · 19/09/2018 23:16

How much do like David Bowie? And how much do you think she'll grow to love The Jean Genie in years to come if you go with June? do you anticipate your daughter living on her back and loving chimney stacks, for instance?

Rosa is cool. Or Meg. Or Eva.

VioletFlamingo · 19/09/2018 23:05

I'm a teacher... Lila/Lyla/Lily are all very popular these days

Gobletoffire · 19/09/2018 14:56

Rosa! Or June. The others are quite popular so if you’re looking for something a little more unique then Rosa or June.

LeeMiller · 19/09/2018 08:21

Rosa is lovely. I think they are all relatively popular though (especially Mia) so she is likely to bump into people with the same name at some point.

June Jeansley is a bit of a mouthful.

Maria as suggested above is a nice alternative, or Nina, Cora, Willa, Gaia, Alba.

DorasBob · 18/09/2018 20:55

OR Ivy Jeansley
(But Ivy is getting quite popular!)

DorasBob · 18/09/2018 20:54

Anna Jeansley

Lyla number 104 in popularity, so not even in top 100? (To all those saying it's over used)
Mia more popular at number 10.
Rosa goes well with your surname

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2018 23:18

Rosa June

GColdtimer · 17/09/2018 23:03

I wanted Rosa but couldn't with our surname. I love it.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/09/2018 22:54

Rosa is beautiful.

ReginaPhalange89 · 17/09/2018 22:32

I know two little Lylas born recently so definitely think that's getting more popular.

I dislike the Mya/Maya/Mia names, I never know which way to pronounce them! Think they're all quite common too.

Rosa is lovely. What about Maria?

Verbena87 · 17/09/2018 21:55

Rosa, by miles. Rosa June is strong and snappy.

HPLikecraft · 17/09/2018 21:49

Rosa is lovely. Mia is too common, and Lyla is like nothing on earth. Actually, I did know one once, but she was Lailagh.

NCPuffin · 17/09/2018 20:28

DC1 Will be Rosa if a girl - go for it! Much nicer than Mia (there are soon many of those!)

MikeUniformMike · 17/09/2018 20:24

Mia is pretty but has been overused so is a bit Meh. Lyla is horrible and Rosa is lovely.

fittedwardrobes · 17/09/2018 20:16

Rosa Jeansley is a great name!

Sungura · 17/09/2018 17:54

I like Roz Jeansley better than Rosa. Sorry to be persnickety. Names like Melinda and Philippa go well with it since it's one syllable. If you do select Rosa, June makes a nice compliment to it.

Sophronia · 17/09/2018 15:14

I like June Jeansley. Rosa is nice too.

Frazzled2207 · 17/09/2018 13:46

Sorry Rosa June

Frazzled2207 · 17/09/2018 13:45

Ross June Jeansley
Fab name

confusedandemployed · 17/09/2018 13:39

Rosa.

But I'm biased, DD is Rosa. The others area lot more common though tbf.

SuperstarDJ · 17/09/2018 13:37

Rosa is my favourite. Not keen on Mia or especially Lyla.

What about Joy? Joy Jeansley has a cool ring to it but I like alliterative names.

finallychangedmyusername · 17/09/2018 13:22

Rosa Jeansley is excelleny - sorry June doesn't really work with your surname IMO.

Rosa needs a middle name that doesn't end in an 'a' sound like Rosa, or an 'e' sound like Jeansley.

Suggestions:
Rosa Isobel Jeansley
Rosa Madeleine Jeansley
Rosa Abigail Jeansley
Rosa Millicent Jeansley
