My final shortlist - would you choose A, B or C?

[Crumbelina]

We need to decide between:

A) Raphaela Rosa
B) Raphaela Sienna
C) Raphaela Winter

Thank you!

Don't sit on the fence, Wilting.

C
My cousin is called Raphaella (spelt with two Ls) and I think it is a gorgeous name. She's stunning too so it really suits her!

I think Raphaela would sound better with a 1 or 2 syllable middle name, preferably not ending in A e.g.

Raphaela Rose
Raphaela May
Raphaela Blue
Raphaela Sky

Out of your choices, I'd go for C but only if the baby is going to be born in winter!

C

A. Just beautiful. Not pretentious at all.

A or C. B doesn't flow well at all.

For me it's probably C), then B), then A), although the last two are pretty close. All lovely though.

Also wanted to pop on to say that I absolutely love Raphy as a nickname, it's perfect! Congratulations!

A Raphaela Rosa, very pretty. (You can keep Emmeline in reserve for a potential little sister )

C flows best for me.

No need fir middle name- too much of a mouthful

I love Rosa personally, especially after Rosa Parks! I wouldn't listen to people saying not to use Winter because she's not born in winter though, how many May/MAE babies are actually born in May? If anything I find it a bit unoriginal to name a baby after when they're born!

Bounty, that's a shame. I'm from SW London so surely it needs to be slightly pretentious?

October, thank you!

Ferris, if she doesn't have a middle name then how will she know when she's REALLY in trouble? My older sister doesn't have a middle name and said she feels short-changed (and it can cause problems with form filling apparently). It might be a mouthful but I think it's quite rare for someone's whole name to be read out and our surname is one syllable.

Pink, very good point!

A !! Rosa is such a timeless name. Sienna is overdone.

Rosa is nice but I don't like the rr alliteration personally.
