I've shortlisted my names list (I think). The only way I managed to do it was by actually writing them down on paper to see if I liked the way I physically wrote her name 🤔

So here we go! Rose will come into it somewhere as it was DP mums name who sadly passed a few years ago. I'm not a huge fan of double barrelled first names though, so will be a middle name at least.

  1. Rosalie
  2. Mabel Rose
  3. Aubrey Rose
  4. Minnie Rose
  5. Autumn Rose
  6. Winter Rose
  7. Dottie Rose (is hanging onto my shortlist by a thread)

Which of these didnt make you grimace?

I loved Aubrey, it was top of my list since we started trying for a baby, but some of my family dont like it as much :(

Now I've had some opinions.
My top 3 are Aubrey Rose, Autumn Rose and Rosalie. The other names can hang around. You never know, she may arrive and I look at her and think 'you're not an Aubrey, you're a Mabel!"

I love Rosalie and Aubrey Rose.

Mabel Rose is ok. Mabel still seems like an old lady name to me but I know that it is coming back into fashion.

Minnie I don't like unless it's short for something. It just sounds like 'mini'.

Autumn Rose is a bit much for me. I don't mind Autumn by itself, but I think it's a little too nature-y paired with Rose.

Winter I really don't like. Unlike Autumn and Summer, I just can't see Winter as a name. To me, it would be the same as calling your child 'Spring' - it's a word, not a name, if that makes sense.

Dottie Rose I think is lovely, though I would give her the full name of Dorothy Rose and just call her Dottie Rose as a nickname.

Rosalie - beautiful
Mabel Rose - cute but not my favourite
Aubrey Rose - no
Minnie Rose - top cutesy and I’m afraid it won’t age with her
Autumn Rose - gorgeous, might just be adding this to my list
Winter Rose - not really
Dottie Rose - perhaps Dorothy nn Dottie

Aubrey is the prettiest I think.

I don’t like Minnie.

The others sound like types of roses in a garden centre.

I would not want to be called Dottie.
