Josephine, Beatrice, Rosa, or Flora

[flopsy1974]

My sister is expecting a girl in March, and so far this is her shortlist. Possible middle name of Sarah or any combination of the above

Opinions please

I think Rosa is gorgeous, really lovely

All beautiful except Beatrice. I think my favourite is Flora but it's a close call.

Flora

I love all your names!!! I am expecting ds2 in july and won't be having any more.

one of these names is my name and one is my mother's

Rosa - love it
josephine - ok
beatrice - vile
flora - no

I like Rosa Beatrice.

Rosa is simply gorgeous!

I prefer Florence to Flora, shortened to Flo or Flossie.

Ok so Flora has been discounted thanks to the spreadinfg easily comments. Very open to bullying as a teenager I would say. Anna has now been thrown into the hat by her DH.

SO upset that Flora was discounted - it's my daughter's name!

Josephine Sarah is very nice.

I like Beatrice and Rosa but they don't flow as well (the "s" sounds are too close to the S of Sarah).

Like Anna too, and Anna Sarah is fine although I think Josephine Sarah flows especially well :)

Josephine Sarah for me too, don't like Rosa and Flora at all! x

Sorry to upset you Knitpicker my sister really loves the name Flora but was genuinely concerned about comments from other people.

Anna is gorgeous.

That or Rosa.
I love simple elegant names that don't look too try-hard

Josephine by a mile.

Beatrice is quite nice, but has become very popular.

Don't like Rosa (though Rose is fine)

Flora = spreads easily

Josephine and Beatrice, both with Rose or Rosalind as a mn.

I love Anna too. Anna Rosalind is lovely. Anna Rose is a little like the name of a boat.

Suggest Elizabeth as a mn that would go with all three?

Now I'm worried that Josephine is going to become super popular - when I was first on MN everyone hated it whenever it was mentioned
