Girls names, Rosa....

[EliasRose]

Hi all,

And for our girls name shortlist, we have narrowed it down a lot at last, we both really like Rosa.

Not sure whether to give her a longer name... Rosalie, Rosabel, Rosalind, Rosalia, Rosemary (Romy for nickname perhaps)......

Any preferences or ideas? Thank you! X

I like them all very much, except Rosabel.

Rosemary is perhaps my favourite.

Don't give her a longer name, Rosa is lovely on it's own and is definitely a proper name.

Rosa is gorgeous - by far the nicest of the names you've listed - and Rosie is a great nn for a little one. Rose is also lovely as an alternative. But stick with Rosa is you love it!

I think Rosa is a lovely name on its own. But of the longer names I like Rosalie and Rosalind best.

I love love Rosa. And all your other forms too actually. Very pretty and elegant.

Just a word of warning I know 5 under 3 in north London& 3 are at my 2yr old's play school (20kids). Also my 2nd cousin's child aged 4 is a Rosa.

That's funny, as I moved away from North London 4 years ago, and had only met one at that point (she would be seven now). there are none where I live now (wildest wales).

Rosa is best, just as it is.

I think Rosa is lovely. My dh's maternal grandmother was Rosina which i loved but didn't work with our surname.

Rosa is just lovely.

I also like Rosanna and slighlyt less Rosamund.

Just Rosa is fine!

Rosa just as it is is gorgeous!

We nearly chose this. I love it. Agree that it is a complete name in itself. Never met any Rosas.

I LOVE Rosa! It's on my shortlist

longer name i prefer rosalind and also like rosanna

Love Rosa. We have almost certainly decided on it for DD2 due in 4 weeks. We are in the north and I don't know any others. Lovely name :)

I like Rosa. I think it stands alone but of the longer versions you mention I prefer Rosalind.

I have a Rosa :)

I love Rosa. I know one, and I always think what a great name. The loveliness of Rose and history of the strength of Rosa Parks. I would consider using it myself if I have another DD, apart from the fact my DD has Rose as her middle name.

Rosa is a lovely name. I know two of different generations and they are both really nice persons!

Rosa is lovely on it's own and I like Rosanna too.

Thank you so much guys. I think just Rosa it is! It's taken a long time to get here..... I'm going to try and not over think the names anymore! Good luck all x

Hooray

Rosa - nothing wroong with it, and if she has half the courage of Rosa Parks it will stand her in good stead.

I have a Rosa And don't know any others It is a great name, feminine but with really 'strong' connotations, i.e. Rosa Parks
