Rosalind, Megan or May?

[blinkineckmum]

Which is best?
Rosalind can be Ros or Rose but not Rosie.
Megan can be Meg.
May.
Middle name will probably be Kathryn.
Surname is 3 syllables.

May, will be uncommon as a first name as its a common middle name at present.
I like Rosalind and it has a few nn.

I know two Rosalind's (adults) and both are referred to as Ros (didn’t even consider Rosie to be a shortened form).
I like Megan but hate Meg.
May is a bit meh imo

I like them all. Meg is fab.

Megan. Also quite like May, but not Rosalind, sorry.

Rosalind.

Megan will always now be spelt Meghan! Also not keen on the Royal connection. May is a bit plain and ordinary.

Rosalind for me.

Rosalind is frumpy imo.

May is not my cup of tea, it doesn't roll off the tongue...it's too short.

I like Megan, but I think it's set to become extremely popular

Rosalind

It has presence

May is a bit middle-namey June or April would be better

Megan is great but you have the Meghan Markle factor to consider

Thanks all. I hadn't even thought of Meghan Markle! Hmmm. Leaning towards May then. Or Maria, if it's not going to be considered very religious?

I like Rosalind but not how it sounds with the middle name.

I like both May and Megan... think May Kathryn --- will flow the best.

Don't like May at all. Rosalind is beautiful and Ros is cool as a nn. Meg is lovely.

I absolutely love Meg. But I don't like Megan - I don't know why, and it annoys me as it rules out Meg for us!

Not a fan of Rosalind.

I like May, it's unusual as it's usually something-May/Mai/Mae, but I think it's so pretty and strong on its own.

Megan.

Not a fan of May or Rosalind, I prefer Rosalie.

Lots and lots of Megans and Mays (and Mais) around where I live.
Rosalind is really pretty.

That's my mum's name and also my late gran's name. She hated being named after the month she was born. Thought it was unimaginative.

Due in March!

Agree there will be a lot of Megans due to Meghan.

My aunt is called Rosalind so I can’t be objective about it.

Prefer Rosa or Rosalie.

I know quite a few Rosalinds actually - one is called Ros, one is called Rollie and another is called Bobby.

Not Rosalind. I was called this at birth (different spelling) and I HATE it. Go for May.

I love May.

May Kathryn.

I prefer Katherine or Catherine, but it's a lovely name regardless.

I love May as a first name.

Rosalind will get Ros, which is harsh and awful and frumpy.

Megan is meh, although I like Meg.

If may but born in March won’t she get bored of people saying - were you born in May?

That said I love the name May

Megan not so keen

Rosalind I love and like your mn with it but the Rosalinds I know both use their middle name or call themselves Rose. They aren’t keen on the full name

I also prefer the Catherine spelling

Love Maria Kathryn, it's beautiful. I prefer this spelling.

I know a Rosalind. Have only ever heard her being called Roz and Rozzie!

I think Kathryn works better with a longer first name, so not May. I prefer Rosalind to Megan and really like Maria.
