I'm interested on thoughts/first reactions, please?

...the name is a serious contender for our baby girl.

Alternative would be Rose, but I think our preference is Rosa, with options of nicknames Rose or Rosie.

Sibling names are what I would describe as simple English classics similar to Charlie or Benjamin.

Gorgeous name

Lovely name, and a bit more unusual than Rose, which has been overused in recent years (although usually as a middle name).

Beautiful, I love it!

NachosAndCheese · 21/01/2024 20:12

It’s not a name I like particularly but it’s fairly common now, and I know a couple of Rosa’s. I agree it’s quite trendy at the minute.

I like Rosa. Much nicer than Rose or Rosie.

CharlotteMakepeace · 21/01/2024 20:10

I immediately think of Rosa Klebb.

Rose is nicer.

Someone said to me that the housekeeper/maid in American movies is always a Rosa and since she said that I always notice it!

It's a nice enough name. Seems quite trendy at the moment. I prefer Rose.

I prefer Rose - Rosa makes me think of an older lady - but it's fine.

username268 · 21/01/2024 20:04

Love it. Rosa has a great history too. Would use it myself but its my best friends name :)

DemelzaRobins · 21/01/2024 19:56

I really like Rosa, lovely name.

MillicentTheMagnificent · 21/01/2024 19:33

I like it, but I think I prefer Rose. Both lovely though

Love the name Rosa 😍

CharlesChickens · 21/01/2024 19:30

I love it. The baby in the next bed when I gave birth to dd, was called Rosa. So beautiful.

NonComplainingDay · 21/01/2024 19:29

It's a beautiful name.

Seadreamers · 21/01/2024 19:29

I really like Rosa, and I know a girl called it. I think it feels a bit more modern than Rose too.

Aglassaday · 21/01/2024 19:08

Absolutely love Rosa and think it’s better than the alternatives.
Congrats OP!
