Thanks!

'common' above obv = frequently used. No snobbery intended!

Mrsknackered · 05/12/2017 21:46

Love Rose. I like Sophie, but think it's a little dated (?)

Not keen on the others, sorry.

Olivelor · 05/12/2017 21:52

I like Philippa. Don't like annabel though because it reminds me of the creepy Annabel creation film.

wetpebbles · 05/12/2017 21:53

Rose is lovely

Rose

user263781638 · 05/12/2017 22:06

Yay to rose..
Not at all because it's part of my own name.
Roseanna over here Xmas Grin

AfterSchoolWorry · 05/12/2017 22:10

Annabel, quite nice
Philippa, clunky, masculine
Piper, dated
Sophie, overused
Rose, lovely but overused

pipilangstrumpf · 05/12/2017 22:43

Definitely Rose!

Howsthings1234 · 05/12/2017 23:05

I like them all except Phillipa

DueNov · 06/12/2017 07:53

User I have just had a little girl and need her Rosanna 😊

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/12/2017 07:56

All lovely, apart from Piper.

user263781638 · 06/12/2017 16:07

Due great name choice 😉 athlough my mum had to be awkward and throw in an extra E, que spelling my name out to anybody that asks 🙄

Agustarella · 06/12/2017 16:12

Not Piper. Others are all nice.

LordSugarWillSeeYouNow · 06/12/2017 16:13

Loving Rose!

My dd is 6 and is called Lucy and she asked me if she can change her name to Rose Grin

We have compromised by calling her new doll Rose instead, I think it's so pretty

eastlondoner · 06/12/2017 16:21

Out of those I only like Sophie.

kaytee87 · 06/12/2017 16:27

Not keen on any of them really. Rose is ok but Rosa is a nicer alternative

daisypond · 06/12/2017 16:34

Any except Piper.
I like Philippa and Annabel best, but maybe they're heading to being a little frilly. Sophie is nice, but very common these days. Rose is nice and simple as a first name too.

Helena17 · 06/12/2017 16:37

Philippa and Sophie are my choices

userabcname · 06/12/2017 16:39

I really like Annabelle. I think Sophie and Rose are also very pretty names. I'm not a fan of Piper or Phillipa to be honest!

Je3sica · 07/12/2017 01:20

Sophie and Rose, what about Sofia?

Frustratedboarder · 07/12/2017 01:32

Annabel - a bit too common and just reminds me of the toy doll
Sophie - ditto (although not the doll bit!) and too like Sophia (ie done to death)
Piper - like, nice and original
Phillipa - don't really like as dated and masculine
Rose - love (DD's middle name!/

Opheliasgoldenwine · 07/12/2017 01:51

Like all of them but Phillipa

WatchTheFoxes · 07/12/2017 02:32

Rose and Piper. The others are horrible!

MikeUniformMike · 07/12/2017 12:36

Piper is the odd one out. It's a surname.

AstridWhite · 07/12/2017 12:41

I like all of them except Phillipa
