I'm having a baby girl soon and I'm thinking of one of the following names. Which name do you prefer? I don't mind that these names are popular as my surname is quite unusual. Thanks 😊

Emilia Rose (Emmy for short)
Sienna Grace
Rosie Florence

I have a lovely friend called Emilia so I like that name and I work with a little Emily who I call Emmy - so that gets my vote. Emilia is also a Romanian name.

Of the three I like Rosie best, but I prefer Rose

Rosie and Sienna are both lovely.

I have an 8 year old Rosie so it would get my vote but it is growing in popularity, so if you don’t want that it’s something to consider.

Emilia. Or Rose not Rosie.

DontKnowWhatToThink7 · 11/12/2021 12:10

Sienna is very popular with chavvy people

Bit judgmental

DontKnowWhatToThink7 · 11/12/2021 12:11

Emmy is lovely

2ndtimemum2 · 11/12/2021 12:12

Op they fab names....now I'm jealous I didn't call my little one Rosie!!Shock

Honeyroar · 11/12/2021 13:07

All of them are lovely names in any combination- apart from Florence.

DukeofEarlGrey · 11/12/2021 13:11

All lovely. I’d go for Emilia Rose

hivemindneeded · 11/12/2021 13:13

Emilia Rose. Love it.

threecupsofteaminimum · 11/12/2021 13:39

Sienna is very popular with chavvy people. It seems to be the number one name.

Really? Oh god.

I thought we'd stopped using the ch word Sad

WatchMyLips · 11/12/2021 13:40

Sienna is only chavvy if you spell it See-enner
Innit

Hen2018 · 11/12/2021 14:15

Emmy sounds like a pet sheep with a limp.

ImStayingInside · 11/12/2021 14:18

I like Emilia, Sienna always reminds me of Senna, so not my first choice.
Rosie is cute too, but Emilia is my favourite from that list.

Knitter99 · 11/12/2021 14:19

I like Emmy but not Emilia. Do you pronounce it like Amelia but with an E or is it E-mill-ia?

DramaAlpaca · 11/12/2021 14:25

@DontKnowWhatToThink7

Sienna is very popular with chavvy people

Bit judgmental

Isn't it just?

I like Rosie best, but would put Rose on the birth certificate.

yoshiblue · 11/12/2021 14:53

I like Emilia, I think as others have said that Sienna is chavvy.

xprincessxjanetx · 11/12/2021 15:26

All lovely but Rosie Florence gets my vote.

RiderGirl · 11/12/2021 15:32

Rosie, it's a great name (I am called Rosie)

CoodleMoodle · 11/12/2021 16:04

I have a Rosie so I'm biased, but definitely Rosie. The others are nice as well though, and Emmy is a sweet nickname.

(And my DD hates it if anybody calls her Rose. She's Rosie on the BC because that was the name we liked, and that's her name!)

Shelleyjelly80 · 11/12/2021 16:58

Emilia Rose ( although im biased as that is my daughters name!)
Interestingly I thought we would nickname her Emmy but it has never felt right, we tend to use Mimi/mila

TheChosenTwo · 11/12/2021 17:06

I know a few child Rosie’s and they’re all absolutely lovely! I have positive associations with the name so that gets my vote.

Kylereese · 11/12/2021 17:07

I don’t like Sienna it reminds of senna kot

Others are nice

Highlanders372 · 11/12/2021 17:37

Definitely not Rosie. The other 2 names are lovely.
