So, I can't use Rose or Rosa, as I have a Rose-type name.

What is as simple & pretty, please?

I'm losing the will here, a bit! This will be my last thread on this particular topic...

All suggestions most welcome...

Fleur
Flora
Pearl

Ruby?

Clara

I wasn't allowed to consider Rose as my DH works in horticulture (could have gone either way that), although DD was called Pergola antenatally, thanks to a friend who felt we should go for something garden-related.

We chose Anna in the end.

Heather
Iris
Lily

are nice if you want to go for the plant theme.

Anne
Rowan
Halle
Maude
Asha

Some LOVELY ones there, thank you!

I would go for Iris, but it's niece's name.

My dd is Ruby!

My dh won't countenance 'Pearl' as it would make a jewel / precious stone double...

LOVE Rosa, everyone should use it no matter what!

Anna
Clara
Lara
Sara
Lucy
Nora
Cora
Jean
Pearl
Bella

Will keep thinking...

poppie or violet

What about Olive?

Ivy - beautiful and under used

Lots to think about here..... thanks!

We have a Rosanna and have always called her Zanna for short - she put it in the mumsnet baby name search the other day and discovered it is actually a real name.
