Our surname is Jeansley and we're keen on something short, sweet and simple. Personally I want a name that isn't popular so they don't ever bump into too many people with the same name...

Also thinking of 'June' - classy, short and maybe not overused?

I know two little Lylas born recently so definitely think that's getting more popular.

I dislike the Mya/Maya/Mia names, I never know which way to pronounce them! Think they're all quite common too.

Rosa is lovely. What about Maria?

Rosa is beautiful.

I wanted Rosa but couldn't with our surname. I love it.

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2018 23:18

Rosa June

Lyla number 104 in popularity, so not even in top 100? (To all those saying it's over used)
Mia more popular at number 10.
Rosa goes well with your surname

Anna Jeansley

OR Ivy Jeansley
(But Ivy is getting quite popular!)

Rosa is lovely. I think they are all relatively popular though (especially Mia) so she is likely to bump into people with the same name at some point.

June Jeansley is a bit of a mouthful.

Maria as suggested above is a nice alternative, or Nina, Cora, Willa, Gaia, Alba.

Rosa! Or June. The others are quite popular so if you’re looking for something a little more unique then Rosa or June.

VioletFlamingo · 19/09/2018 23:05

I'm a teacher... Lila/Lyla/Lily are all very popular these days

CalonGlas · 19/09/2018 23:16

How much do like David Bowie? And how much do you think she'll grow to love The Jean Genie in years to come if you go with June? do you anticipate your daughter living on her back and loving chimney stacks, for instance?

Rosa is cool. Or Meg. Or Eva.

DD is called Mila (Meela)

RedDwarves · 20/09/2018 10:09

June Jeansley is a no go.

Lila Jeansley - this spelling.
