Can't choose!

So DH and I are expecting our first daughter in December, we are almost done with our name choices and have come down to our favourite two but we just can't pick.

Rosie Veronica
Athena Victoria

Which one do you like best? And are we missing any weird association or possible bullying potential on either of these two names? Thanks xx

Athena Victoria

I love Veronica and Victoria. Not so keen on Rosie or Athena. I'd go with Athena though as I know of two babies recently called Rosie and popularity puts me off names

ifiwasascent · 12/10/2020 21:15

I really like Rosie Athena

steppemum · 12/10/2020 12:48

I love Rose, but there are a lot of them around.
Not so keen on Rosie as the full name, lacks gravitas for an adult.

Veronica and Anthena are unusual and great names.

Victoria is classic, you said you were worried about there being a lot around, but I don't think there are a lot at the moment. Big advantage is that there are dozens of nn.

I think they flow better with the longer name first

Athena Rose
Veronica Rose
These are my favourite combinations

Athena Rose is fab.

missmouse101 · 12/10/2020 12:41

Rosie Victoria

MercyBodle · 11/10/2020 23:57

Definitely Rosie. Lovely name. Both Veronica and Victoria work well in the middle.

Kote · 11/10/2020 23:22

Athena and Victoria but not together

Iamneverfull · 11/10/2020 23:22

Rosie Victoria is lovely?

wishing3 · 11/10/2020 23:20

Rosie Veronica

Milkshake7489 · 11/10/2020 22:57

Sorry, just seen that someone already suggested Athena Rose!

Milkshake7489 · 11/10/2020 22:56

I love both!

What about Athena Rose?

BumpLoading · 11/10/2020 21:54

I love Athena, such a pretty name.

I like Athena Maeve as an option Smile

missmouse101 · 11/10/2020 21:46

Rosie Victoria

Kanaloa · 11/10/2020 21:38

I like Rosie and Athena. I think Rosie Veronica flows better than Athena Victoria.

DramaAlpaca · 11/10/2020 21:23

I'd go for Rose Victoria or Rose Athena, known as Rosie.

whattodo2019 · 11/10/2020 21:16

Athena

Firebird83 · 11/10/2020 21:12

Athena

MikeUniformMike · 11/10/2020 21:11

Rosie Victoria would be my choice.
Athena is a bit long with no obvious nn (Thena maybe).
Rosie Veronica is like a plant description.

ComicePear · 11/10/2020 08:34

Rosie Victoria is my favourite.

Trevorina · 11/10/2020 08:32

How about Athena Rose?

Ghosts2020 · 11/10/2020 05:58

Rosie veronica is such a cute name, Athena victoria I'm not so sure, Athena sounds abit too harsh , maybe athenea or alethea, despite that still prefer the first option imo
