We have a George... I've seen plenty of negative opinions on here about it, but just so it doesn't influence thoughts, we didn't choose it because it was popular, I decided on it when I was 12 and it stuck. I still love it all these years later... and I actually don't know any others, he's also the only one in his entire nursery.

So anyway, we have a George. We are expecting number 2... we could pick a boys name if it came to it, girls we are stuck!

I've posted before that I love Florence, DH says no, he loves Olivia.. but contrary to the George thing, Olivia is a lovely name but we do know loooaaads in the varieties of Olivia, Alivia, Livi, Olive.

Same with that he loves Amelia, again, I think it's a lovely name, but we have a niece called Mia and a cousin called Millie. And it's sooooo popular. Too close isn't it?

The names Anya and Rosie keep coming back to me. DH loves Rosie, I don't know if it's a bit much as will be alliteration with surname. Surname starts with an R and includes two S's.

What are people's thoughts on Anya and Rosie?

Does Anya go with George? I know George is predominantly Greek, but is well known in England. I believe Anya is Russian?

Anya Rose?

What about Rosie? What middle name would go nicely?

Verity not verify!

We have a George so I agree it’s an excellent choice! His little sister is called Kate. We also had Hannah, verify and Rose in the list.

I like Anya and Rosie. Both pretty names. What about Anya rose? The Rosie’s I know have May,Jane and Harriet as middle names.

How about Rosanna, Rosina, or Rosalie?

Or Rosemary or Romy?

You could use Rosie as a nn.

They might not be as rhymey with the surname.

I agree with you about Olivia and Amelia - lovely names but very popular, and Amelia is indeed too close to Millie and Mia.

I don't think Anya goes with George. Anna or Annie or Annabel yes, Anya no.
