Baby girl is due in less than 3 months and I think we've found a strong potential name but would love to hear people's thoughts...

Rosa
middle name Jean after my grandma

Is Rosa Jean a lovely yet elegant name or would you think it's a bit too old-fashioned (my only concern)?
We've been through all the other 'Rose' name variations and aren't as keen on the others.

Or do you think any of these alternatives would be better?

Aria
Ariana
Amber
Lara
Maya
Anabelle

Thanks
Grin

I love Rosa Jean. Lovely. Good luck with the new baby.

Tallie12 · 06/12/2018 18:49

Rosa Jean is lovely! Rosa is one of my favourite names!

Zazia · 05/12/2018 23:21

I love Rosa and also your alternatives, well, besides Amber.

Woulditbeworth · 05/12/2018 23:18

I really like Rosa Jean. Lovely choice.

Sweepington · 05/12/2018 23:16

Rosa Jean is gorgeous. Jane is very overused for a middle name!

Highlowpo · 05/12/2018 23:15

Rosa Jean is beautiful

Crystalblue13 · 05/12/2018 23:15

Rosa Jean is a lovely name !

lebkuchenlover · 05/12/2018 23:13

I like Rosa.

HappyGoLuckyGo · 05/12/2018 22:27

Rosa is lovely, it was on my shortlist too! Not too old fashioned at all.

DramaAlpaca · 05/12/2018 22:02

I like Rosa Jean, but Rosa Jane is even better.

MummyBearRose · 05/12/2018 22:01

I absolutely love Rosa .. we are thinking about it as a middle name instead of just 'rose' It's beautiful

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 05/12/2018 19:53

Rosa is lovely and don’t know of any

AlliKaneErikson · 05/12/2018 16:03

I like Rosa Jean but prefer Lara (lots of Lara fans on this thread; DD is Lara but never thought of using Jean, which is DM middle name).
I also know a Norma Jean, would you believe?!!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 03/12/2018 13:14

I prefer Annabel if I'm honest OP, I like Rose better than Rosa too. Jean is a good middle name.

SallyWD · 03/12/2018 09:22

It's a beautiful name. Go for it!

AliCanTea · 03/12/2018 02:26

Amber Jean does sound lovely too!

Pemba · 03/12/2018 00:30

I really like it. Rosa is more interesting than Rose and surprisingly unusual. Rosa Jean flows well too, and although I wouldn't really like Jean as a first name, as a middle name it goes with Rosa nicely and also honours your grandma.

Doghorsechicken · 02/12/2018 20:12

Rosa Jean is lovely! Some really crap alternatives being suggested though, stick with Rosa Jean!

3in4years · 02/12/2018 20:06

Rosa Jean is perfect.

Sophronia · 02/12/2018 19:48

Rosa Jean is lovely.

TatianaLarina · 02/12/2018 19:07

I would go Jeanne rather Jean - more chic.

It’s always nice to honour a grandparent but Jean is very dated.

I think it's lovely ! Feminine but strong.

I also like Lara from your list ,don't like the others

Astronica · 02/12/2018 13:19

Rosa Jean is a good name. My favourite from your list would be Annabel if you spelt it like this, and I also like Lara.
