Hosanna

[LadyOfTheCuntryManor]

Hello!

Hosanna for a girl...any thoughts?

You never know - you might have a boy next time. Lucifer is indeed lovely.

We're not finding out and this is the last child. I'll leave that name so you can choose it.

Thanks - i already have a Lucifer so Judas it is.

Fabulous choice.

My sis is Rosanna, much prettier I think!

Rosanna is a beautiful name. Hosanna is just awful.

Sorry, no

What about Leah or Susannah? - both also biblical

Or :

Mercy
Faith
Blessing
Gabrielle/Gabriella
Joy

Miriam's a nice biblical name and not too common.

Or Azaria? Lilith?

I like yours, Cote

Actually, I think even Beryl might be preferable to Hosanna.

Heavens, I'm turning into a bitch. Sorry!

I veto all of the obvious Biblical choices as they're hideous.

Still if you all hate Hosanna, I might recommend you stick to original names like..hmmm..Sarah (Biblical) or Chloe (Biblical) to name but 2 from the top 20 list of popular names, where most people on Mn seem to scout out names.

Hang on just a cotton-picking moment Lady, before you get all insulting, what about my non-biblical-but-sort-of-religious-but-not-boring ones?

I know a person with each of those names...that makes it dull for me. I don't know a Hosanna.

Blessing-Trinity is the name of the Nigerian carer for my Grandad.

Blessing-Trinity. I mean really.

I don't really think you are in a position to talk ...

I will put my thinking cap on

Aria
Juanita
Gloria
Empress

How useful.

Indira

Well really

If it's part of your cultural tradition to use names like Hosanna, why not?

Personally, I think SING Hosanna, SING Hosanna, etc every time.

to the King of Kings

Nowt wrong with being a Nigerian carer .
Although Trinity-Blessing would sound better, admittedly.

You did ask for people's opinions on Hosanna and, presumably, you wanted honest answers. If you really like it that much, go for it - as you say, it's very uncommon and (if the response on here is anything to go by) it's likely to remain rare so if that's important to you then Hosanna would be an excellent choice.

I don't know a Hosanna

There's a reason for that...

How about hallelujah?

Now we're talking.
