Hi all,

I think we have a top girls name and want opinions without sharing with my family. Also include our top 3 boys

We're thinking Safiya Rose (Rose as middle name, not double barrelled) I just think it's so pretty and actually goes with out surname which is bit unforgiving. Following that, Erica.

Boys names we have down to
Rowan
Freddie
Leo

I like Safiya. Do you have middle Eastern or North African roots? If not then I suspect she will be assumed to be Sophia? Safiya is such a nice name though - I prefer it with a heavy emphasis on the Sa sound. Rose goes well but I strongly dislike filler middle names.
Erica is lovely too but they have a very different feel. Erica feels very English.
Rowan - this seems so popular at the moment. I love it for a girl, think it's a bit meh for a boy. It's growing on me but I can't help perceive it as a bit wet. Also I know a lot of small Rohans and think there could be a lot of similar names around.
Freddie - nice, safe, pleasant
Leo - I really like this. It would definitely be my top choice. I slightly prefer Leon though.
