Hi... I just posted about boys names, now for the girls. We've been abroad for a few years and not sure if these are overused/way too popular. We will be moving back to the south East (not London)

Rosa
Cleo
Alice

Thanks for any help..

Clara would be another similar name and seems to combine the three somehow?

I think Cleo is lovely though, it's cute and spunky Smile

I love them all. None of them are overly popular. Every other girl has Rose as a middle name so that’ll stop Rosa from being used as a first name 😉. Alice is consistent but not popular - there’s usually one around somewhere but not more than one. The other two not so much.

I really like all 3.

If I had to choose it'd be tricky but I'd go for Cleo, Alice then Rosa.
All great names 👍

SoftBlocks · 08/04/2020 15:27

I love Cleo, like Rosa a lot. Alice is really nice but I like it less.

Whatsyourflava · 08/04/2020 15:22

I love Rosa, it is my top pick currently for our first child, baby girl due August :) I also love Cleo. Wouldn't do Alice but that's coz I know a few Alices.

Rosa is not currently in the top 100 names in the UK so even if it gets more popular, hopefully it won't suddenly shoot to top 10. I just love it. Classic, pretty, strong, not super common... all the up sides! :)

Cleo is my favourite from those feels fresh and fun 😃. Rosa and Alice feel more vintage but that might be what you are after 😉.

Alice.

Cleo just makes me think of the Renault.

POP7777777 · 07/04/2020 23:42

Cleo

Astronica · 07/04/2020 23:40

Cleo is gorgeous and my favourite. I also like Alice. Rosa doesn't appeal to me, though I do like Rose.

Pinkypink · 07/04/2020 21:03

Love Cleo.
And Alice

TempsPerdu · 07/04/2020 20:14

All gorgeous - all three were on our shortlist for DD (she now has Alice as a middle name). If I ever had another daughter (not happening!) she would be Rosa but can’t go wrong with any of them.

Still can't seem to find the three dots, but I am using the app? Hmm

OP I love Cleo, great choice!

LotusClover · 07/04/2020 17:43

Cleo has always been one of my favourite girls names. It's pretty and not too popular. Go for Cleo! :)

MilkNoSugars · 07/04/2020 17:43

All 3 are lovely but I like Cleo best

AJTracey · 07/04/2020 17:43

Love Cleo! Rosa is nice too. Alice is ok.

Mollymaejonrs · 07/04/2020 17:41

I love Cleo
I know a Cleo and whenever she introduces herself to people, 9 out of 10 people say ‘omg what a fab name!’

NotNowPlzz · 07/04/2020 16:58

Love Cleo. I think Rosa will become really popular so would avoid. I dislike Alice.

Staffori · 07/04/2020 16:54

Also, how do you pm guys?

There's a link top right of every post.

I totally love all three names OP. I saw your post in the other thread that you don't mind about people thinking of Cleo as a car. I owned a Renault Clio for eleven years and it never crossed my mind that the name Cleo has anything to do with cars.

You're welcome!!
Thanks a million everyone; so much more helpful than the stats/charts alone.
We're leaning towards Cleo I think.
