Rosa, Mia, Lyla - I just can't decide.

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 (too much of a mouthful)
Mia (never know if its pronounced mee-ah or my-ah - but that may just
be me.

Rosa is a verry sweet and pretty name by far. Very girly as
well. Definitely my favourite on your list.

Rosa June Jeansley. No contest. Strong namesakes (Parks, Luxemburg), beautiful elegant classic name that travels very well indeed, and much less likely to date than Mia and Lyla.

But June Jeansley is also very cool. I think Rosa is more classically pretty and June is more retro. Pick the one that feels most like your kind of name.

Agree that Mia and all the Lila, Lyla type names are very overused. I think Rosa is a really, really good choice.

Rosa is lovely.

daisypond · 17/09/2018 10:54

Rosa. Though I think Rose is nicer.

teachergirl2011 · 17/09/2018 10:38

Lyla is horrid sounds like Lycra

Frosty66611 · 17/09/2018 10:32

Mia is my favourite out of the list but I think Rosa goes best with your surname. June is nice but really doesn’t work with Jeansley

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 17/09/2018 10:32

Rosa is great with your surname.
Others are overused imo.

June! June Jeansley is a great name, and made even cooler by the fact that June is a retro name.

Sunflower321 · 17/09/2018 10:29

I agree - Mia, Lily,Lila etc are overused. Rosa is nice!

WerewolfNumber1 · 17/09/2018 10:20

Mia and Lila and other names that sound like that are very very popular.

Rosa is lovely and unusual :)

Mia is very bland and overused at the moment. Not keen on Lyla (prefer Lilah spelling if you must). June Jeansley is a bit too alliterative IMO.

Rosa is perfect. Smile
