I love Rosalind Ada. It’s short and punchy (to me a lot least) and much better than Grace, May/e, Rose type middle names which are ten a penny.

Moneymonkey · 10/04/2023 11:35

Our 3 year old is Rosalind. She is either full name; Ros or Rossi. I love her name. But I also loved Beatrice as a choice when I was pregnant.

Personally; I'd probably go with Ada - it's not a name I hear often; and won't get shortened if that is a concern for you

I like them both, I was planning an Ada May or Ada Rose but he came out a George 🤣

BeeandG · 09/04/2023 21:18

I know a Rosalind. Middle name is Honor. I like Beatrix 🙂

OddBoots · 09/04/2023 21:05

'Rosalind is a nightmare...'

Both lovely names. :)

Rosalind Mae (Mae Jemison)

LOVE Beatrix Rosa though

If not Ada other middle name suggestions?
Something shorter and punchy to balance out Rosalind?

I like Rosalind Ada for the Franklin/ Lovelace connection.

Yes you got it in one! Either way needs a link to a female pioneer

I do love Rosalind, bt won't it be shortened to Ros? That's not nice.

RuthW · 07/04/2023 22:15

Rosa Beatrix

Luredbyapomegranate · 07/04/2023 19:56

.. although I’d go for Beatrix Rosalind rather than Rosa - I think it works better

Beatrix Rosa

This may be a weird thought but I like that Beatrix ends in an x, and if I had a daughter I would say "I love you so much, I gave you a name with a kiss in it!".

Very sweet!

I think Beatrix - they are both nice, but more Rosies around than Beas

thebaneofmylifeisacat · 07/04/2023 19:54

Sorry neither of those combos sound pretty or work together

Ada rose is ok though sounds like a maid in a miss Marple novel. Or a lady in an old people's home

Rosamund is far nicer

PickledScrump · 07/04/2023 18:36

Beatrix Rosa, the nn Bea is lovely. Rosalind just seems dowdy to me and I don’t like Ada.

FayCarew · 07/04/2023 18:04

Rosalind Beatrix

SuperGinger · 07/04/2023 17:57

Rosalind ada

Theelephantinthecastle · 07/04/2023 17:49

I love Rosalind and think it's quite unusual.

I went to school with one who was always Rosalind, never Rose or Rosie

shoopshoopdedoo · 07/04/2023 17:48

Beatrix Rosa. Or Rosalind Beatrix? I have really liked Ada, but I think I’m going off it as I hear it more and more frequently!

AdaColeman · 07/04/2023 16:59

Rosalind Ada all the way!

sunshineandmango · 07/04/2023 16:54

I love both of these names! Have you thought about which nickname you prefer - Bea vs Rose/Rosie - as this may be something that comes into play (even if you don’t intend to use one)

DarkDarkNight · 07/04/2023 16:49

Beatrix Rosa

ODFOx · 07/04/2023 16:37

I prefer Rose to Rosa.
But both your suggestions are lovely.

LlynTegid · 07/04/2023 16:35

I'd choose Beatrix. Rosalind will often be shortened to Rose, and I'd think immediately of Rose West. Beatrix I'd think of Potter or the Dutch former Queen.

JauntyRedShoes · 07/04/2023 05:55

Love Rosalind and not keen on Ada. How about Ava, Ivy or Ida or Anna.

MissGroves · 07/04/2023 05:55

Rosalind Ada all day for me though I would consider Ada as a first name (Ada Lovelace first ever computer programmer) but Rosalind is beautiful.
