Trying to.come up with.girls names and this is probablly my definite option....

Story behind it.. DH likes 'Alice' i.said no as it just makes me think of the very rude song (who the f**k is alice) ... And he likes Rose.. I like rose but not.for a first names.

So ive lengthened alice to alissia and used rose as second name..
Rose would be a middle name if it was upto me but we're unsure whether to hyphenate it yet... What do you all think?

My first choice was Olivia but DH.doesnt like :(!

How about Eloise, it's the girl's name I didn't get to use.
I like Alyssa Rose.

How about Alicia?

I like alicia but as i said in previous post its my DHs daughters middle name :(.. Im thinking either Elysa or Alyssa ..

And i agree FuturePerfect but i wanted a few opinions off here because i didnt want to.give my DD a name that people who i know pretend to like.. I know how honest everyone on here is :p.. Mixed opinions really.. Hmmm... I have a way to go yet anyway so have time to pick correct version/spelling :p.. I think were deffinately going to use Rose as middle name though x

We considered Alicia - the normal spelling - though we went with something else.

Rose is a very common middle name. Do you have a family name that you'd like to use instead? Or a sentiment you want to express (our dc 2&3 have family names, dd1 has Morna as her middle America, we loved it and it means "beloved").

Nooo no family names :( im named after my dad which is a little embarassing haha.. He is Tony im Toni :p wish we did have a family name it would.be so.much easier!! Grrrr :p Morna is a lovely middle name x

I like your Alyssa alternative that came up during this thread. Alyssa Rose with no hyphen looks and sounds nice.

toni1bump · 23/05/2013 10:45

I think i have a winner :p x

Can I take a moment to be chuffed with myself lol.

I LOVE Alyssa Rose!

CPtart · 24/05/2013 20:53

Love the name spelt Alicia, but not another Rose!

Know an Elissa.

I wanted to use the name Alice (family name) - but DD1 didn't look like an Alice - and DP didn't like it - in the end DD1's middle name is Alissa.
When DD2 came along (quite a few years later) after lots of dithering - decided she was going to be called 'Lily' but at last minute at the registry office we decided that wasn't right for her and went with Alicia (not A-lee-sha grrr) - we call her 'Lissy'
So DD1 middle name and DD2 first name are almost identical - and it really isn't a problem ...
I really wanted to call her Violet (letty for short) -but DP and DD1 hated it ...
(BTW I still like Alicia but do get annoyed by people asking me how she pronounces it...etc -so maybe not a good idea)....

Oh, I thought how much I liked it when I saw the OP title!

I'm just saying, I'm a bit squiffy and I see Axl Rose hashtag Guns n Roses.

To be honest, if your DH's daughter's middle name is Alicia, then I think anything in the Alice/Alesha/Alyssa/Alissia range is too close to her name to use...
