Anna or Rosa?

Opinions please on Anna or Rosa. I'm 7 months pregnant and we like both Anna and Rosa as first names. We have a Tom already.

Both lovely names, but i prefer Rosa out of the two. I suspect I'll be in the minority though. Anna always goes down really well on here.

I actually hate Anna lol
I think its dull and blah

Rosa reminds me of the cat in Fireman Sam........... Wink

I love Rosanna. Does that help...? But if not both your choices are great, slight leaning to Anna with Tom.

Thanks for thoughts so far, but I really dont like Rosanna. Veering towards Anna, but appreciating all the opinions!

I love Anna, my ones Anna Rose Ellen, so i would say that Grin, i know what you mean Kayano it is everywhere, but i love it, and i've never met an Anna i didn't like.

i like Anna but prefer longer versions, slightly biasedly i like Annalise (as we have a dd called this) but we also liked Annabel, Annalisa, Anastasia not keen on Rosa.

Hedwig3 · 19/07/2011 16:00

Both lovely but Rosa is my favourite, simply beautiful.

WaitingForBabyD · 19/07/2011 16:09

Rosa for me

DriverDan · 19/07/2011 20:21

Love Anna, I have an 11 month old one. We get lots of compliments for it and I am yet to meet another one under 10.

levantine · 19/07/2011 20:24

They were in my top three had DS2 been a boy. Both are lovely but I slightly prefer Rosa

Both lovely, but I prefer Rosa by a whisker.

reastie · 19/07/2011 21:16

both good choices, I prefer anna personally

Domesticbodess · 19/07/2011 21:55

You have great taste IMO. Both lovely - may be see what she looks like. Does one go better with your surname?

Sinkingfeeling · 19/07/2011 21:58

I love both - Rosa would obviously be less common if that's important to you. What middle names are you thinking of?

handsomeharry · 19/07/2011 22:01

I love Anna. It's a beautiful name.

SmilingKiwi · 19/07/2011 22:08

I love Anna. It's pretty but strong.

birdofthenorth · 20/07/2011 01:03

Rosa. Or Rosalie.

zenoushka · 20/07/2011 10:42

Anna is really pretty.

ragged · 20/07/2011 10:51

Anna I like a lot, and it isn't that common, either.
I don't like Rosa much.

daimbardiva · 20/07/2011 11:15

Love both - Anna has the edge for me though

Ulysses · 20/07/2011 11:23

I have a 16 week old Anna.
