Belle Victoria Rose

Victoria Rose

Many thanks 😊

I like Lucia on paper but I would be unsure of the pronunciation so that would probably annoy the child. I wouldn't worry about what middle name you give as they are rarely used

Thank you @daisypond
Your screen name just reminded me that I also had Daisy in the running.
Thank you many have said about it being used so much as middle.
thank you

Rose is every girl’s middle name, it’s so overused it’s become dull.

Belle doesn’t feel like an actual name. I don’t hear Victoria a lot.

@Teasie123 Never heard that name before it’s lovely. Thank you

@Alloveragain3 Thank you. I do like Lucia but I have seen many people using it just recently that’s why I am still unsure.
thank you.

Victoria is lovely and underused right now - I like Vita as a shortform too. Rose is a really really overused middle name though - maybe Victoria Lucy instead?

Lucia is great too - just several pronunciations which will be annoying

Rose is lovely but way overdone

Belle is Disney naff, with a side order of hooker/stripper (belle du jour etc) and having a name that means beautiful is a lot of pressure

Victoria is quite unusual these days. I quite like it. Not with Rose as a middle name, though.
Rose is nice, but better as a first name.
I don’t like Belle at all.

Lucia -pronounced the Italian way -is great. I’d go for that.

Victoria rose is lovely. I have a neice called Annie-rose. She always gets compliments on her name.🤗🤗🤗

Alloveragain3 · 03/02/2024 13:07

I adore Lucia, pronounced Loo-chee-ah

Belle is also very pretty

Hermittrismegistus · 03/02/2024 13:06

I'd leave out Rose. Almost all the new baby girls born recently have Rose somewhere in their names, it's tacky.
