Down to 2 - finalising our choice for a girl

[NamechangeMcNamechangerson]

We have narrowed down our girl's name options to two. First, which do you prefer, and secondly would it be okay to have two girls called these names or is it a bit too like "Romeo and Juliet" (I am almost certainly overthinking this!)?

Rosanna
Julia

?

Before anyone suggests alternatives, we have ruled out Rosie, Rose, Rosa, Rosalind, Rosamund, Rosalie, Juliet, Julie, Juliana etc! These are our favourites...

I love them both, sorry that's no help.

Julia - love this but vetoed by my dh!

Both lovely but Julia gets my vote. Classic and sophisticated without being overused.

Rosanna for me. Its so pretty

Rosanna for me. I've always loved this name

Julia

Rosanna

Rosanna.

I like them both, but I'd go for Rosanna.

Rosanna is my favourite. I think it would be fine to use both names for siblings too.

Definitely Rosanna

Rosanna

Definitely Rosanna.

Julia sounds dated

Julia is very dated . Rosanna gives her lots of nicknames to choose from.

Rosanna, lovely!

Rosanna
Lovely name but can also be shortened to Rose, Rosa or Rosie

Or Ros or Rosy

Rosanna

Well it depends which song you like best, doesn't it?

Rosanna for me too.

Rosanna! Gorgeous

Thanks for your responses, all. It's looking like a landslide in favour of Rosanna. That was our initial choice, and it's DH's preference, but I've had a late lean toward Julia which I've always loved...

Re Julia being "dated", I do want to avoid anything that's seen as trendy now, either because it's new or officially back in vogue (Lily, Ella etc) so the fact that Julia is not considered a "current" name doesn't bother me. I think it sounds beautiful and it's definitely going to be kept in waiting in case of two girls!

@MargotMoon Growing up I always wished I had a name that came with a song! And wondered why there were 5,000 about Carolines!

Julia is much nicer.

I disagree with the others, and find Rosanna more outdated than Julia.

Julia. I wanted it for dd but my mum put me off because she thought it was old fashioned, but she is in her 70s. It's doesn't sound old fashioned to me. I regret not using it. It's beautiful
