Here come the girls...

[Tinnie88]

help us narrow this down! Want a first and a middle. Our surname begins with R and isn't anything unusual or tongue twisting.

Amelie Eve
India Alice
India Eve
Talullah Alice
Florence Alice
Esme Rose
Honey Rose
Eliza Rose

Florence Alice is very sweet
Eliza Rose, Esme Rose, and Amelie Rose (finding Amelie Eve hard to say) are also nice.

I wouldn't want to be an adult called Honey

Tallulah will never not be Bugsy Malone to me (...my name is Tallulah!...)

Eliza Rose

Eliza Rose

Florence or Eliza with Rose or Alice. I always look at lists and think which is like to be called most and least.

Least-Honey by a long way then Tallulah and India.

Esme Rose or Eliza Rose

Honey is awful. They may might like it over on one of the sparkly/ticker/glitter forums, mentioning no names . Awful as a term of endearment, but just imagine it was your name!

Tallulah is less awful than Honey but is not much favourite. Has desperate hopeful stage mum vibes.

India I didn't once mind, but it's popular ex hipster choice nowadays.

Florence - fine

Esme- fine but then the pronunciation debate, and whether to include an accent or not, begins.

Eliza - ok but Elizabeth better.

I like Esme Rose best.

India Alice, India Eve, Tallulah Alice don't work because the vowels clash. They end up as Indiaralice, Indiareve and Tallulahralice.

Florence Alice and Eliza Rose are both fine, I'm just not a fan of Florence (as the ones I know are always called Flo, which is awful) and I prefer Elizabeth to Eliza.

That leaves Honey Rose, which is lovely for a dog, but grim for a child.

Florence Alice or I'd have Emelia Alice rather than Amelia eve... more nn possibilities (em, emmie as well as milly and Lia) and classy
Please not honey...!!!
Rose is a very very popular middle name

Eliza Rose

Is Honey a serious contender? What appeals about it as a name for your daughter?

DS, 8, has a Honey in his class, and I'd just love to ask her parents that question, but of course never would!

Thanks for your thoughts.

Honey was a curveball, I'd never thought about it before but Fern Cottons little girl is a Honey and I thought it sounded pretty, obviously not!

India is my favourite, I see it as a traditional English name that isn't hugely popular but not 'way out'. I didn't realise the hipster thing?! I'm obviously out of touch!

I like the Emilia suggestion, just would it be annoying constantly pointing out 'it's not Amelia is Emilia?'....hmm

The Alice/Eve thing is a nod to a family member so I'd really like to use one.

Eliza was DH suggestion, he's clearly better at this than me!

Amelie Eve: It's lovely. But Amelia and Eve are both really popular.
Talullah Alice: Lovely
Florence Alice: Florence is really popular where we live, but it's a really pretty name.
Esme Rose: Nice
Honey Rose: That sounds like the name of an actual flower. I'm not a fan of it, tbh.
Eliza Rose: Really lovely!

Eliza Rose is my favourite. But Tallulah Alice is a really close 2nd.

Btw...

I think Tallulah Alice would sound nicer if the 2nd name didn't start with an A as well. Tallulah Rose or maybe Tallulah Florence, Tallulah Grace etc...

Congratulations :)

Talullah has been a secret love of mine for years. Just not sure if I'm brace enough as had lots more people say they don't like it than do. I also don't know any adult Talullahs so can't imagine an adult being called that. But I have liked it for so long!

Eliza Rose is beautiful.

Eliza Rose is beautiful, a strong name for any age and unusual enough without being a silly name.

Eliza

Amelie Eve - ok but now common
India Alice - doesn't sound nice together
India Eve - ok ish
Talullah Alice - hate talullah
Florence Alice - ok if you call her Florrie
Esme Rose - nice
Honey Rose - horrible
Eliza Rose - that's a song I think? Hate Eliza anyway

Is Amelie really popular now? On last years baby chart it was showing as 60. Esme is 61 and Eliza 62. Funny that three of our favourites place next to each other!

Eliza Rose or Esme Rose.

I think the others run into each other too much.

There's just something a bit naff about Tallulah. It's never been a favourite on Mumsnet

Eliza Rose or Esme Rose

I think Amelie seems so popular to me for 2 reasons... Place 62 is fairly high up.

But more importantly... There's Amelia (which was the number 1 in 2015, wasn't it?) , Emilie, Emilia, Emmily etc. I know that they're not the same names but they're really similar and I personally perceive them to be in the same name "cluster"... Not sure if that makes sense.

I like Eliza Rose the best by a mile.
Esme Rose and Florence Alice are also lovely.

Eliza is top 50, just checked. I thought it would be more popular, though will eat my hat if it hasn't risen again in the stats this year. It's only that every other new baby girls seems to be Eliza here at the moment. Nice enough name though, I just prefer Elizabeth.
