Rosaleen is lovely and then she can choose

peaceinourtime · 28/03/2022 23:09

Rosa is strong name, its nice. Were as Rosie sounds frilly. Rosa is also miles better then Rose.

WeasilyPleased · 28/03/2022 22:42

Rosa.

WaitinginVain · 28/03/2022 22:29

Rosa is beautiful.

16HamstersCalledThemAllDave · 28/03/2022 19:19

Rosa is lovely. Please don't go with Paige

Thedogscollar · 28/03/2022 17:53

100% Rosa it's lovely.
Rosie is too little girly name.
I like Paige too it most certainly is not an awful or dated name as some pp have suggested.

Needaholiday101 · 28/03/2022 17:44

Definitely Rosa, it's a lovely name.

demoness · 28/03/2022 17:40

I would recommend Rosa because you can use Rosie as a nickname for it, which gives you the best of both worlds.

TheLadyDIdGood · 27/03/2022 22:57

Rosa is very classy and more suited to when she's grown up more than Rosie. You can give her the nn of Rosie but register her as Rosa.

I’ve got a Rosie, I know a lot of people think it’s a bit twee for an adult but I have known two adult Rosies in my life and they’ve been wonderful. No idea if that influenced me. DH and I just love the name and it’s perfect for her.

Rosa

CiderWithLizzie · 27/03/2022 19:58

Rose with Rosie as the diminutive 🌹

Liv999 · 27/03/2022 19:56

Rosie is beautiful, also really like Paige, it's quite unusual now

Nosetickle · 27/03/2022 19:06

No not Paige. It’s not awful but nowhere near as nice as Rosa/Rosie.

Nosetickle · 27/03/2022 19:04

Both lovely. How about Rosanna and let her choose the nickname she prefers.

DramaAlpaca · 27/03/2022 18:49

Rosa, to be known as Rosie as a diminutive.

Definitely not Paige. It was never a nice name and it's seriously dated now.

MaidEdithofAragon · 27/03/2022 18:47

Rosanna

Roselilly36 · 27/03/2022 18:45

I love Rosa, and Rosena.

17caterpillars1mouse · 27/03/2022 18:14

Rosa, I find Rosie a bit twee.

My favourite Rose names are Rosalin and Rosalind though

pilates · 27/03/2022 18:12

Rosa is gorgeous

Rosie is nice for a little girl

Paige is awful, sorry

MajorCarolDanvers · 27/03/2022 18:12

Rosa or Rose

canyoubelievethat · 27/03/2022 18:09

Rosa

uncomfortablydumb53 · 27/03/2022 16:18

Rosa

HerculesMulligan · 27/03/2022 16:16

Rosa. Rosa Parks, Rosa Luxemberg, Rosa Diaz. But I think it's too close to Isla.

RuthW · 27/03/2022 16:11

Rosa. You can still call her Rosie sometimes.
