Rosie, Martha or Alice - please vote!

[smother]

which name do you like best?
Rosie, Martha or Alice?

thanks.

1. Rose (not keen on Rosie as the name on the birth cert but would be good as a nickname)
2. Martha
3. Alice

My daughter is Rosemary Alice (Rosie as a little child,now Rose as a teen)

Meaning of the names are kind (Alice) herb (Rosemary) which kind of suits her!

Martha

Martha.

My arch enemy at school was called Alice, and I've never liked the name since....

alice beautiful name second would be rosie

1. Martha. Gorgeous name.
2. Alice. Okay, but a bit boring.
3. Rosie. Just naff on an adult.

However, if you went for Rose, then I think I would put Rose above Alice. Rose is classy and sophisticated.

Alice

Alice

...but I am one!

Actually, my vote is for Martha.

Alice first

Then Rosie, but as a shortened form of Rosemary/Rosalind/Rosamund/Rosalie etc

Then Martha

Alice, Rosie, Martha.

Rosie
Martha at 16 might not thankyou!!

They are all lovely names. I think you should have a look when baby pops out and see which one suits best.

Today, I think I like Martha best.

I love them all but I have a very adorable Alice and, Ive only met a couple of others. I just really like it, all the ones Ive met her very confident girls.

Alice

thank you for all your responses!

thinking about Martha....

rotool - why might Martha at 16 not thank me? is it not a good name for a teenager??

Alice! It's my DD's name and I still love it!

Alice is lovely, though I like Rosie a lot too.

Like them all equally

All lovely names, but it depends how original you're wanting to be. Every other baby girl at some of the groups I did with DD seem to have been Martha or Alice, and there were a few Rosie's, too. So how about Marissa, Alicia or Rosalie?

Martha

Martha is my favourite by quite a long way.

I vote for Martha. There are so many Alices around at the moment. I agree Rosie needs to be a shortened version of something a bit more formal.

Hi smother, perhaps rotool doesn't know of any teenage Marthas? I'm hoping my Martha will be OK with it (although her middle name's Phoebe which I guess she could use if she really objects!).

First thing my HV said when I brought my daughter to her was "Martha, fantastic name - I've got one. She's 19 now" So older Marthas are around! (As well as Martha Jones from Doctor Who, who I thought was waaaay cooler than Rose )

I should also add that I know a grown-up Rosie as well, and it suits her fine - doesn't seem like a little girl's name at all.
