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

Assuming the baby will be born in autumn!

Autumn is lovely, but maybe think of a different middle name as Autumn Rose isn't great.

Love Autumn Rose!

Elisa.

LizzieBet14 · 26/07/2021 22:18

Elise is nice too Smile

I prefer simple Elise (or maybe pretty Elsa, Elena etc if you want the "ah" ending?) - Elisa is less well known so I'd be concerned people could mishear it as dated Lisa.

Autumn is nice enough, just perhaps a bit "blah" in comparison to Elisa - especially with the super popular Rose middle name. Maybe consider another one syllable middle name instead (Eve, Maeve, Nell, Tess, Hope, Gwen etc) or perhaps something less common but still with the Rose sound (like Rosa, Rosalie or Rosanna).

I think she’d get Ell-ee-za, Ell-ee-sa, Eliza as in Doolittle, El-iss-a

I don’t understand how people find it so hard to pronounce Elisa correctly!

It’s such a pretty name OP, good choice!

I thought Elisa is Ell - Lisa

I agree with pp it's pronounced too many ways.

Autumn is the winner.

Elisa, a million times over.

Autumn Rose? Really? That would be like calling a child "Summer Poppy" or "Spring Blossom" or "Winter Holly".

Just don't.

Elisa has only one pronunciation, namely Ell-ee-sa. It's a lovely name.

Autumn is not.

Woolywolf · 26/07/2021 21:38

Autumn. Elisa can be pronounced too many ways

RuthW · 26/07/2021 21:36

I love Autumn.

FadoFado · 26/07/2021 21:27

I'm not mad about Autumn.

I do like Elisa though, assuming it's pronounced the same as Alyssa?
