Or as others have said, Juliana Rose sounds lovely too.

augustusglupe · 29/08/2020 14:08

Juliana Rosie Garcia. Such a beautiful name, I love it!!

Lavenderblues · 29/08/2020 14:05

Olivia is dull. And reminds me of oily olives..!

Juliana is much more interesting!

Sunflowers24 · 29/08/2020 14:03

Juliana definitely! Beautiful and memorable.

Olivia is so boring and overused...!

DoTheMaccaroni · 29/08/2020 13:22

Juliana is beautiful and I really like Jules/Jools!

Enko · 29/08/2020 09:22

Juliana by a mile I never liked Olivia much and I do not get why it is so popular.

4kidmom · 29/08/2020 00:55

My daughter’s name is Julianna so of course that’s my first choice. Olivia is also a favorite, but very popular right now. You can’t go wrong either way. My daughter isn’t called Jules by anyone. I sometimes call her Anna pronounced Ah-nuh. She has gotten compliments on her name her whole life. She is 15 now and we live in the USA.

1, but Juliana Rose rolls better. Lovely name!

DramaAlpaca · 29/08/2020 00:19

Juliana. But with Rose, not Rosie.

Tillygetsit · 28/08/2020 23:43

Juliana Rosie is beautiful.

SelmaB · 28/08/2020 18:30

I actually prefer Olivia because even though it's more popular I think it's much prettier.

PoodleMoth · 28/08/2020 18:15

Juliana

@Sally99

Juliana because with all due respect to anyone called Olivia, there are so many of you around.
This!
FerryCrossTheMersey · 28/08/2020 12:42

Juliana Diana Garcia sounds better than Juliana Rosie Garcia.

I also much prefer Giuliana with a ‘G’- then you could call her Gigi.

twirlywooly · 28/08/2020 12:41

I prefer Juliana Rosie though think single syllable Rose or better Rosa would flow better than Rosie as a middle name.
I'm just not an Olivia fan - don't mind the nn's Livs/Livvie but the actual name is really not that appealing to me & don't get all the hype with it 🤷‍♀️.
Maybe a bit controversial but I actually like the nn Jules and wouldn't mind it being used as a nn. I also like Julia, not keen on Julie.

Neither are horrendous so up to your taste at the end of the day if popularity bothers you I wouldn't go for Olivia as the statistics don't lie and though not guaranteed there's a much higher chance of there being multiple in your child's class.

FelicityPike · 28/08/2020 12:40

Definitely Juliana.

Sally99 · 28/08/2020 12:38

Juliana because with all due respect to anyone called Olivia, there are so many of you around.

Spied · 28/08/2020 12:36

Juliana Rosie of the two but I actually prefer Juliana Olivia.

kursaalflyer · 28/08/2020 12:29

Rosa goes better than Rosie. And I know loads of Julias and Julies and none get called Jools. Yuk. So Juliana Rosa for me

MikeUniformMike · 28/08/2020 12:21

Juliana Rosie Garcia
Really dislike Juliana. Julia is so much nicer. The 'AH-nuh' at the end just overwhelms it. Not keen on Jules/Jools.

Olivia Diana Garcia
Olivia is overused, but it is nice. Not sure about all the names ending with a.

Flymetothestars · 28/08/2020 12:18

Love Olivia and it's shortenings. Although weirdly Olivia doesn't tend to get shortened as mush.
I think ironically Juliana (also 4 syllables) is very likely to be shortened. How many Victoria's (4 syllables) got shortened to Vicky? All the Julia's I know get Jules whether they like it or not.

Thatbliddywoman · 28/08/2020 12:15

Juliana is a lovely name.
Olivia just reminds me of olives/olive oil.

namenerd · 28/08/2020 12:14

Juliana Rosie is stunning! 😍

newmum332 · 28/08/2020 12:00

Juliana 100%
Olivia is nice but so overused. There are 5 in my Dsd’s year at school (she is 7) and I know many more.

sweetnosugar · 28/08/2020 09:52

Olivia! People will say it’s overused. I personally only know of three Olivias, aged: 11, 28 and 34.
It’s a beautiful name, I can see why people opt to use it.
I know a Julianna, goes by Jules. I don’t mean to offend anyone but I dislike Jules.
