Just that really! DH loves Rosalie…I still think it has hints of the Twilight saga after all this time..

Definitely Nancy - a fab name!

I like Rosalie but dislike Daphne and Nancy.

I like Daphne best of the three. Nancy doesn't appeal to me at all, and while Rosalie is very pretty, I do associate it with the Twilight saga.

How likely is it that Twilight will be as well known in your daughter's generation though, I wonder? Her peers may well not have that same association.

Love Nancy

I love Daphne and Rosalie, but I can't stand Nancy.

Rosalie is my favourite though

Rosalie is beautiful - and underused enough that it feels fairly timeless (as well as giving her pretty nn options if she wants them).

Sorry I dislike Nancy (very retro trendy), and have never liked the sound of Daphne (daft/daffy plus Bridgerton may mean an increase in popularity).

I quite like them all

Our surname is very long. Yes I love Nancy but have tried it on a few people with quite negative reactions !

Rosalie is a beautiful name!

DoodleBelle · 06/09/2021 18:16

I like all 3 sorry! Very feminine sounding yet refreshing. Which works best with your surname?

pantherrose · 06/09/2021 18:11

Nancy and Rosalie are lovely, Daphne wouldn’t be my choice.

Derrymum123 · 06/09/2021 18:08

Nancy. Very beautiful name.

Nancy. I really dislike Daphne and Rosalie sounds like Rosie Lee (cup of tea)
