Woah! Weirdly, I dislike pretty much all your girls names and absolutely love all your boys names! 🤷🏻‍♀️

For the girls, would go with Esme, Freya or Francesca - not my taste but serviceable names.
Loathe Noa- just looks misspelt to me. And think nicknames like Teddie are cutesy and cringy.

For the boys, they are all great. Kit and Finn are my favs. But William, Henry and Isaac all go really well with Rose.

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/01/2023 17:44

I only like

Francesca and Hattie (only short for Harriet though)

And

Isaac, Henry and Luca for boys

I really dislike Blake

Absolutely love teddie rose and Luca rose is adorable x

Calyco · 21/01/2023 22:59

Alessia and Henry

Beckiii · 21/01/2023 22:55

Just found this thread as considering the name Indie-Rose. Which name did you go for in the end?

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 24/10/2022 23:03

William in particular or Henry sound great with the more feminine sounding surname - and Robert sounds cool with the alliteration too imo. Isaac is also okay.

Like Esme and Alessia too, Francesca (nn Cesca) is also okay. Since Alessia and Francesca are Italian, you might like Claudia or Gaia too?

nelliebear8 · 23/10/2022 10:16

For girls, I love Theodora nn Teddie. Freya, Noa, Alessia and Esme are nice too, dislike all the others,

All the boys names are nice, my favourite is Kit.

Octoberblues · 23/10/2022 06:11

Noa is awful and it doesn't flow with Rose.

Francesca is the best, as PPs have said, you need a strong first name with a frilly surname.

Likewise with boy's names. William, Thomas, Edward are strong names.

I know a William Rose.

Squizzas · 23/10/2022 06:04

Francesca and Noa are my top girls

Robert and William top boys

dreamersdown · 23/10/2022 05:48

Of course it depends where you live, but in North East London William rose is an estate agent chain…

2022Ilovealiein · 23/10/2022 05:24

Really like the names Alessia/Esme/William/Isaac and think these names
go very well with your lovely surname!

Dollydea · 23/10/2022 04:08

Indie - my favourite name. Would've been DS name if he'd been a girl and coincidentally Rose would've been the middle name.

Finn - (but much prefer Finley) or Isaac.

octoberfarm · 23/10/2022 04:04

From your girls list I love Noa (don't think it's too popular at all!) and Indie.

From your boys list I love William, Luca and Kit Smile

Titsflyingsouth · 22/10/2022 08:56

Of the girls names, Freya, Esme, Francesca and Georgie are decent. If pushed, I'd plump for Freya.

Really really hate:

Noa - really, really dislike. Looks like a misspelling of Nora or Noah

Blake - horrible.

Theodora - too frilly and fussy for me personally. And I hate the nn Teddy for a girl. Cutesy and infantile.

All the boys names are Ok, but my favs are Kit and Finn.

andrea4321 · 22/10/2022 08:51

StopFeckingFaffing · 21/10/2022 21:24

I think Francesca Rose or Freya Rose both work really well

I like but don't love any of your boys names. Robert or Henry would get my vote but not 100% on either of them. What about Rory, Barnaby or Patrick

Rory Rose?!!

wizzler · 22/10/2022 06:56

I like the. Names with three syllables with your surname.. Harriet, Francesca. Of the boys names I like Henry, Isaac

How about Elijah, Madeleine, Caroline

username345 · 22/10/2022 01:23

Oscar and Blake Rose sound good.

Luredbyapomegranate · 22/10/2022 01:21

Francesca and Issac - great names

Indie - no, trying to be cool and failing. Overused
Noa - no, confusion with Noah will be irritating
Georgie - only as a nn for Georgia
Alessia - Alicia is much nicer
Blake - no, just no.
Esme - done to death.
Hattie - only as a nn for Harriet
Billie - it’s not great
Theodora - nn Teddie - done to death
Freya - nice but recently overused

Robert - like it but not the double r
Oscar - done to death
William - done to death
Henry - done to death
Kit - popular right now, Kit Rose is a bit feminine and as you do get girls called
Kit / Kitty I wouldn’t
Finn - done to death
Luca - v popular suddenly, so will dare, Lucas or even better Luke work bettter.
Luke Rose sounds good

Mumofgirls2017 · 21/10/2022 23:17

Theodora. Henry or Kit

FindingMeno · 21/10/2022 21:31
