Hi... I just posted about boys names, now for the girls. We've been abroad for a few years and not sure if these are overused/way too popular. We will be moving back to the south East (not London)

Rosa
Cleo
Alice

Thanks for any help..

Ahh that's good. Have you heard of many little Cleos?

I love Rosa.

lessness · 07/04/2020 15:51

I know of one little Cleo.

I think both Rosa and Alice are beautiful too. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with any of your choices.

What is your favourite?

Me too haverhill.. is it popular in the UK with little ones? The stats say no but I like to hear real people's take! Trying to avoid Ava/Isla style popularity (both lovely names but soo many!)

Lessness i mentioned them on another thread and someone said (politely!) that all three were about to be overdone Blush

I like all 3 names. I know a couple of Alices, loads of Rosies, but no Rosas and no Cleos.

lessness · 07/04/2020 15:56

I don't think so at all Ellamab. I feel the same about avoiding the Ava and Isla style etc. I think your names are more refreshing but classic (Cleo being a little different but equally lovely!)

userabcname · 07/04/2020 15:57

I love Rosa and Cleo- i don't know any Cleos at all and know a couple of Rosies but not Rosas. I do know a couple of babies called Alice and I don't like it at all.

Astoatora54 · 07/04/2020 15:57

I don't think it matters if they are popular or about to become popular. I have a very commonly used name as does my dd. We both love our names!

diddlediddle · 07/04/2020 16:07

I know of two Rosas, two Roses and several girls with Rose as middle name. I would avoid to be honest.

Cleo and Alice are both lovely!

MamaCoco123 · 07/04/2020 16:12

I love all 3! My favourite is Alice, then Cleo then Rosa. Smile

hellsbells99 · 07/04/2020 16:14

My favourite is Alice

Whatsyourflava · 07/04/2020 16:16

I’ve inboxed you @Ellamab

Evanna13 · 07/04/2020 16:18

Rosa is beautiful.

allaboardthesinkingship · 07/04/2020 16:28

I commented that I loved Felix on your other post and I've actually added it to my list so thank you 🤣 I love Alice and cleo from your girls list

lessness · 07/04/2020 16:48

You're welcome!!
Thanks a million everyone; so much more helpful than the stats/charts alone.
We're leaning towards Cleo I think.

There's a link top right of every post.

I totally love all three names OP. I saw your post in the other thread that you don't mind about people thinking of Cleo as a car. I owned a Renault Clio for eleven years and it never crossed my mind that the name Cleo has anything to do with cars.

NotNowPlzz · 07/04/2020 16:58

Love Cleo. I think Rosa will become really popular so would avoid. I dislike Alice.

Mollymaejonrs · 07/04/2020 17:41

I love Cleo
I know a Cleo and whenever she introduces herself to people, 9 out of 10 people say ‘omg what a fab name!’

AJTracey · 07/04/2020 17:43

Love Cleo! Rosa is nice too. Alice is ok.

MilkNoSugars · 07/04/2020 17:43

All 3 are lovely but I like Cleo best

LotusClover · 07/04/2020 17:43

Cleo has always been one of my favourite girls names. It's pretty and not too popular. Go for Cleo! :)
