We can't pick between these 2 names. Any opinions?

Anya Rose. .

Mol1628 · 25/02/2017 09:05

Anya. Rose is a bit over used now.

BretonTop · 25/02/2017 09:05

Anya Rose - beautiful name!

WanderingTrolley1 · 25/02/2017 09:06

Anya

Anya Rose Smile

Anya - very pretty and a bit more distinctive.

SorrelSoup · 25/02/2017 09:18

Too much Rose now. Every girl round here has either rose or may/mae/mai as a middle name too.

EweAreHere · 25/02/2017 09:18

I love Anya. Such a pretty name.

Ollycat · 25/02/2017 09:19

Both lovely- I know a fair number of both (this doesn't bother me my children have popular names) - prefer Anya Rose to the other way round.

Ham69 · 25/02/2017 09:20

Both beautiful. I disagree that Rose is overused. Yes, as a middle name, but I have met very few children with Rose as a first name.

LilBatFacedGirl · 25/02/2017 09:23

Rose anya sounds a bit like lasagne if you say it quickly. It doesn't flow like anya Rose

Sophronia · 25/02/2017 09:30

Rose is overused as a middle name, but lovely and classic as a first name. I like Rose Anya.

Ham69 · 25/02/2017 09:32

Rose Anya is beautiful. You're not going to be calling the 2 names out together! I have 2 DC and only close friends and family know their middle names. Go with the first name that you love, not whether it "flows"!

AlmostAJillSandwich · 25/02/2017 09:33

Anya is nice, personally hate the name Rose. It's very "old lady" sounding to me, but i also dislike flowers as names, so no Lily, Daisy etc either.

Rockaby · 25/02/2017 10:01

Both lovely. I don't think I can choose between them tbh .

FreeNiki · 25/02/2017 10:29

Anya. So pretty.

paddypants13 · 25/02/2017 14:23

Anya Rose. It's a lovely name.

paddypants13 · 25/02/2017 14:23

If you like the sound of Rose Anya, what about Roseanne/ Roseanna.

Mottled · 25/02/2017 14:34

I don't know any young girls called Rose just lots with Rose as a middle name so I think that Rose Anya would actually be unusual & very nice.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/02/2017 18:56

Anya Rose.

SuperBeagle · 25/02/2017 21:02

I prefer Rose, but Anya Rose sounds a lot better as a combination.

I prefer Anna to Anya.

Purplebluebird · 25/02/2017 21:05

Anya Rose for sure. Lovely!
