Mia Rose or Lily Rose?

I'm not pg. We have two DDs already but may someday like another DC.

I'm set on the name if we were to ever have a son, but these two girls names are ones I've considered for both DDs, and ones that stick out for a potential future DD.

I really like both names; I'm not at all bothered about their popularity. Just wondering which one you prefer, and why?

Mia Rose... because Lily Rose was the name my dd loved most in the world aged 3, and I know 2 in rl.

I prefer Mia Rose but they're both very pretty

Lutrine · 13/03/2013 12:29

They're both absolutely gorgeous but I slightly prefer Lily Rose.

I love Mia Rose.
Lily Rose is pretty, but maybe too many flowers, and Lily is a really popular name now.

Sorry, just noticed that you don't mind about the popularity.
Mia Rose seems stronger(?) and rolls off the tongue more easily.
Although the initials would be Mr Surname.

Not my style, but I prefer Lily Rose. Always reminds me of The Family From One-End Street.

Thanks all for your replies. I wanted to name DD1 Mia, bit DH vetoed it :( He relented for DD2 (I think he saw how I may have not been completely happy compromising) but DD2 just didn't/doesn't 'look' like a Mia.

I like Lily but have to admit I feel pressure from my family as Lily is a name after my Nan. I like it, but it hasn't been my 1st choice yet, IYSWIM.

Mia Rose looks like the preference for the majority who answered. Thanks again :)
