Page 2 | Could I ask for opinions on these girls names please 🙂

Rosetyler1 · 2026-05-11T16:53:16+00:00

Could anyone offer any thoughts on any of these names please? Rosanna, Amy, Bethany, Cara, Christina, Abigail, Faith, Hope, Joanna, Holly, Rhiannon, Tessa, Leona, Alice, Leah, Mariah. Really struggling to narrow it down! Thanks!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

I love Rosa.

Rosa Alice (although initials would be RAW!).

RegalDiamondMonster · 12/05/2026 21:52

Susanna - I like it more than Rosanna and less than Joanna- probably because I don't much like Sue or Suzie which could be shortenings. The full name is nice.
Sadie- fine
Rosa - elegant, my favourite of the Rose/Rosie/Rosemary/Romy type names
Lucy - good name.

Fernhurst · 12/05/2026 21:49

My favourites are
Cara, Christina ,Tessa, Leona, Alice, Leah,

salcombebabe · 12/05/2026 21:48

From your list OP I love Cara 🥰

NamingNoNames · 12/05/2026 21:45

Susanna - fine but it can also be spelt Susannah. Likely to be shortened.
Rosa - ok
Sadie - ok
Lucy - like a lot but it and other short L names are very popular.

I was supposed to be narrowing it down but tonight I've ended up just thinking about even more options to add to the list! 🙃 Any thoughts on Susanna, Rosa, Sadie or Lucy?

I also prefer Leonie to Leona

Xmasallergies · 12/05/2026 21:06

I like Faith and Alice, they sound cute for little ones but cool for when they are older!

Greenknightsuccess · 12/05/2026 19:36

Rosanna - ok, but I prefer Rosina
Amy - great
Bethany - ok
Cara - great
Christina - ok
Abigail - ok
Faith - ok
Hope - ok
Joanna - great
Holly - great
Rhiannon - horrible
Tessa - great, but I’d use Teresa then shorten it to Tessa
Leona - prefer Leonie
Alice - great
Leah - ok
Mariah - horrid. But I love Maria.

RegalDiamondMonster · 12/05/2026 18:08

Rosanna - ok but I don't like Rosie. Rosalind is beautiful as an alternative?
Amy - it is dated but also classic, a good name
Bethany - never liked it, really dislike Beth especially (and Seth, just don't like the sound)
Cara - fine
Christina - actually quite nice. Unusual but not in a bad way.
Abigail - I like Abbie but Abigail is a harsh sound to me, and a bit American puritan religious- maybe because of the Crucible.
Faith - i dislike virtue names
Hope - same as Faith
Joanna - good name. Dated but in a classic way with good shortenings.
Holly - ok
Rhiannon - not a fan
Tessa - fine
Leona - ok
Alice - weirdly despite not being Welsh, I've known a few women called Alys which is really pretty- Alice seems a bit twee despite sounding the same(!)
Leah - my favourite on your list
Mariah - no, but i like Maria

I'd choose Joanna or Leah

Could you pick both middle and first name from the list maybe Mariah Hope or Joanna Alice

That could work thanks 🙂

We've not even started on middle names yet! Surname Williams, and no.

Does she have a middle name set? What is the surname? Any siblings? All that matters to me when naming a child.

I love …

Amy
Bethany
Rhiannon
Tessa
Alice

Two of those I have used myself.

user1492757084 · 12/05/2026 15:22

All nice names. My faves are Amy, Joanna and Bethany.

Pinkyhere · 12/05/2026 13:39

Alice is my favourite

Lins77 · 12/05/2026 13:17

Mumofgirls2017 · 11/05/2026 22:24

Most of them are a bit dated to 80s/90s sorry! I like Alice though

Is that a bad thing, though? Not every 2020s baby has to be called Olivia or Poppy.

People will always ask if she is a xmas baby... I speak from experience here.

I always respond that I thought Holly trees existed all year round

That's what I was a little worried about but I suppose it's not the end of the world

Sweet yet not sappily so. Traditional, feminine, pretty and elegant, yet not overly frilly, a child I would expect to have clean uniform and not run riot in school or an employee who would perform well and present well to clients! Confident and unusual enough not to be a crowd follower/crowd pleaser, yet not attention-seeking. Both Alice and Tessa have a slightly romantic or bookish/literary feel to me as well - probably Alice in Wonderland /Tess of the d'Urbervilles maybe!

Sort of "well-directed" in life !

Alice and Tessa have a more grown-up feel to me, yet are still very sweet on a little girl. Holly to me is a bit more sort of, I don't know, maybe babyish? I don;t dislike it, but I much prefer the other two!

Thanks, that all sounds good!

Thanks that's interesting, what vibes would you say Alice/Holly/Tessa have? 🙂

You’ve got my and DD’s names and all our middle names in there! Not keen on Mariah, but the rest are good names which won’t date.

mellongoose · 12/05/2026 04:58

Rosanna is lovely nn Rosa. We nearly used it.

Also love Joanna.

Gremlins101 · 12/05/2026 04:23

Would Holly seem odd at all for a summer birthday or would it not matter?
