I prefer Julia to Lilly but I find Julia Alicia a little bit of a mouthful. However, in real life you're not going to be saying the whole full name too often

OnceMoreIntoTheBleach · 20/11/2016 12:59

Having the to 'A' sounds together doesn't really work.

Julia Rose would be very pretty though!

bea1994 · 20/11/2016 13:02

Just to note pronouncing Alicia aaa liii ceee ahh not the alesha the way the American singer seems to pronouce it :/v

I like Julia and I am a Mary Rose

Lily Rose

I wouldn't put Julia Alicia Rosa together. There's too many Ah sounds. How about Julia Alice Rose.
Not a fan of Lily, but Lily Rose certainly rolls of the tongue.
Lily Alicia Rose sounds gorgeous

I prefer Julia on its own, which, if you are not double barrelling them is how it would be used for 99.9% of the time.
If you intend for them both to be used as a first name, the the Julia Alicia becomes a bit of a mouthful.

bea1994 · 20/11/2016 13:30

Original post says rose not rosa but thanks and Lilly Alicia rose is very pretty indeed :)

Backforgood I think on paper the name would be julia Alicia rose I think it looks beautiful written down ect and then we would shorten to just julia or julia rose as and when

Definitely prefer Julia to Lily- its lovely, -and definitely a breath of fresh air considering how popular Lily (and similar) has become. That said, Julia Alicia look too much together and sound too similar I think - also ending a name with an 'a' and starting the next with an 'a' doesn't help the name flow well. Julia Rose would be gorgeous.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/11/2016 17:02

Julia Rose is beautiful.

Meadows76 · 20/11/2016 17:04

And forevermore your child will have to explain its Alicia aaa liii ceee ahh not the alesha the way the American singer seems to pronouce it

Aoibhe · 20/11/2016 17:06

I agree, Julia Rose is beautiful.

I literally know 3 babies and toddlers called Lily Rose, or maybe that doesn't bother you?

SwedishEdith · 20/11/2016 17:08

Julia Rose is lovely.

bea1994 · 20/11/2016 18:16

Alternate spelling to the way I pronounce it then for Alicia ? I grew up with an Alicia and then of course famous ballerina Alicia markrova was definitely ahhh lii -cee-ahhh not alesha so i always thought that was the correct spelling ...

Barefootcontessa84 · 20/11/2016 19:54

OP it is the correct spelling and I pronounce it your way too. Though still think it's too much with Julia!

BackforGood · 20/11/2016 20:04

And forevermore your child will have to explain its Alicia aaa liii ceee ahh not the alesha the way the American singer seems to pronouce it

eh?
I think most people would say Alice-ee-ah, surely?
However, if it is only going to be a middle name, it will only be said at Christening, graduation and wedding and those people will know in advance.

Sophronia · 20/11/2016 20:26

Julia is lovely

SaltyBitch · 20/11/2016 20:27

There are a million Lily Rose's - dull as dishwater.

Julia is bloody fantastic.

Pluto30 · 21/11/2016 06:39

Julia Rose is lovely.

I don't like Alicia at all. Outdated and awful. Plus, where I live, it definitely would be pronounced Aleesha.

Lily Rose is nice too, but Julia is much less popular.

KlingybunFistelvase · 21/11/2016 15:34

Lily Alicia is lovely! Wouldn't bother with the Rose personally as it has become a bit of a filler name to me. I know someone who works in an office with quite a few new parents to baby girls. Of all the baby girls, not one of them does not have Rose as a middle name!

LittleFilly · 21/11/2016 17:28

Julia Rose or Juliette Rose
