Autumn or Elisa for baby girl?

38 replies

What do people think to Autumn Rose for a baby girl?

I love the name but DH isn’t 100%. He likes it but something is holding him back!

Or Elisa Rose?

I think I prefer Autumn

Autumn is really unique and lovely.

Buttercup54321 · 29/07/2021 23:05

Eden Rose?

Autumn is a lovely name but only for children born in autumn (ImO!).

If summer born Summer Rose is lovely!

Elisa is nice but I prefer Elise.

I like Elisa. Also I like the idea of two middle names because Rose is honestly one of the default middle names for all girls at the minute.

Also love Elise.

Two middle names could be a nice idea.

Even though rose will be her middle name it won’t really be used, I wouldn’t introduce her to people as Autumn Rose, just as Autumn

Prefer Autumn, it was my choice if DS had been a girl so I genuinely love it. But agree with PPs that it sounds twee paired with Rose. Also agree adding another name between the 2 would work. Autumn Elisa Rose is beautiful.

I love autumn, one of my fav girls names but not with rose as a middle name, that makes it naff like above post has said.
I don't think two nouns as names work.

Chilldonaldchill · 28/07/2021 07:20

I don't mind Autumn (and I also wouldn't use it for a child born in Autumn as agree is cheesy) but I think Autumn Rose simply doesn't work. It's too descriptive.
Elisa Rose is fine. I think most people would pronounce it properly.

FartnissEverbeans · 27/07/2021 21:36

Autumn. I actually think Autumn Rose is lovely.

Elisa is a bit boring as it blends in with all the Ellies/Elsas/Elsies etc. It’s fine though

17caterpillars1mouse · 27/07/2021 21:11

I like Autumn but with Rose it makes it a bit naff / cheesy.

Elisa isn't my style

DPotter · 27/07/2021 20:42

Oh please don't call your DD Autumn. She'll spend her life explaining why her mother called her Autumn when she was born in February. Knew a girl called Summer, born in April.

Elisa Rose is a lovely name

Elisa
Autumn Rose sounds like a brand. Or character in a trashy novel. (sorry!)

Sonata13 · 27/07/2021 13:00

My beautiful Italian niece is Elisa. I also love Autumn. So I guess I am no help whatsoever!

YoungGun95 · 27/07/2021 12:57

Or use two middle names

Example
Autumn Harriet Rose surname

YoungGun95 · 27/07/2021 12:54

Love Autumn but not Rose, it sounds like you are describing a flower that only blooms in the autumn. Choose a middle name that is not also an object

For example

Autumn Jane
Autumn Francesca
Autumn Josephine
Autumn Harriet

Maskedrevenger · 27/07/2021 12:48

Autumn Rose sounds to me like a room fragrance or a scented fancy candle. Either Autumn or Rose with other names fine, just not any flower names.

NotMeekNotObedient · 27/07/2021 12:44

Elisa Rose is lovely.

Fierceblueberrypud · 27/07/2021 11:57

Both are beautiful names. Personally prefer Elisa

Middle name rose is because it’s a family name from my very dear auntie who passed away young

Baby wouldn’t be born in autumn, I wouldn’t actually use it if she was born in Autumn as I’d find it a bit cheesy!

I like Elise but my DH doesn’t, it reminds him of the car!

I only like autumn if they are born in the autumn otherwise no

goddessofmischief · 26/07/2021 23:09

Autumn Rose is beautiful

WaltzingToWalsingham · 26/07/2021 23:02

I really like the name Elisa. To me, it's a young, dynamic name, whereas Autumn is a bit...autumnal, the dying of the year.

One thing to be aware of is that Elisa is the name of a type of antibody test, but usually only medics will know about it, and it's not a bad association anyway, more of an interesting one.

TatianaBis · 26/07/2021 22:51

Really like Elissa, Autumn - meh.

Kanaloa · 26/07/2021 22:35

I like Elisa, I would pronounce it Eh-Lisa. Autumn is ok but I don’t like Autumn Rose, it doesn’t work nicely for me.
