Which middle name for Rosa

91 replies

Busted2006 · 10/08/2023 20:55

First name is 100% set so not asking for opinions on it.

We are just stuck with the middle name.

Eliza - not sure if the double "z" sound is too much but we love the meaning
Emilia (too spanish when paired with Rosa)- the meaning isn't great but I like how it sounds

Last name is quite common, long English surname so anything goes with it really.

I love Rosa.
I think either middle name sounds fine though Rosa Emilia does flow slightly better.
Rosa Emily or Rosa Elizabeth both flow better but then it's not the exact family name if that is important to you.
I think Rosa Grace is so different from any of the above - it's just so much more dull as almost every other girl will have Grace or May as a middle name (or Rae or Rose!)
If I was having free choice I would go with
Rosa Constance
Rosa Beatrice
Rosa Harriet or
Rosa Imogen

Rosa Celeste

Rosa Faith

Rosa Elise

ClairDeLaLune · 12/08/2023 23:01

Clunky to have 2 vowel sounds together imo. An extra r sound might get inserted. I think a 2 syllable name with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable.

How about:
Rosa Louise
Rosa Marie
Rosa Colette

@SingingSands , baby name sites often have things on them that aren't necessarily true.
The French for Helen is Hélène, and it's not pronounced Elaine, but it's probably come from a French form of Helen or how it was transcribed into English.

SingingSands · 12/08/2023 11:33

That was meant to be a quote on my post, I didn't come up with it myself!

SingingSands · 12/08/2023 11:33

Rosa Elaine

Meaning:sun ray or shining light. If one of your favorite lullabies to sing to baby is “You are my sunshine,” we have a name that will brighten up your day. The French girl's name Elaine means “shining light,” and it would be an ideal name to give your little ball of light. This name is a French variant of Helen.

WhispersOfWickedness · 12/08/2023 11:09

I have a teenage Rosa who never has issues with her name (apart from my neighbour who spells it Roser in the Christmas card every year 😂).
I still love it as much as the day I picked it 🥰
I can't help you with the middle name though, as I chose an obscure family name which would out us, but I can tell you it starts and ends in a consonant sound and has 3 syllables, which works very well 😊

Pebstk · 12/08/2023 10:56

Rosa Elizabeth is beautiful

Turquoisesea · 12/08/2023 10:26

You could have Rosa Lyn but I realise Rosalyn is a name in itself too so might get confusing but I think it flows for that reason

Lisbeth50 · 12/08/2023 10:19

I like Rosa Eliza.

How about Rosa Elizabeth or Rosa Elise as alternatives?

KirstenBlest · 12/08/2023 10:10

Rosa Grace sounds like Rows of Grace
Rosa Verity sounds like Raw Severity

Rosa Sharon? Smile

cptartapp · 12/08/2023 07:15

Neither work, it's the two vowels together making it a real mouthful.

Rosa Catherine is lovely
Rosa Kate
Rosa Faye
Rosa Meredith

Rosa is such a beautiful sounding, lovely name that I feel it’s a bit of a shame to give it such an overdone, generic filler middle name as Grace. I think it deserves something strong, rare and beautiful, just like Rosa.

Show quote history

I know what you mean, although I like Grace when I say them together 'Rosa Grace' Grace does sound a little uninspired next to Rosa

Thank you all, I think I might go back and have a rethink.

I do love Grace so even though "mumsnet" consider it a filler name that is a serious contender for us, plus it's my DH favourite name
