Is Rosa becoming too popular?

I decided on the name Rosa years before I even got pregnant and was so excited to have a beautiful ‘rare’ name in the Uk. I just came on this site and seems people are saying Rosa is now becoming a common name and I’m distraught! I’m desperate to avoid her having to be Rosa X because there are so many others in her class.
Does anyone know any new baby Rosas out there, am I accidentally choosing the next Sophia?

There's a few in my family tree, an old Romany name.

My great great aunt was Rosa. I don't think I ever met her but she was famous in my mum's family. Lovely name, and if it's becoming common again I haven't noticed yet.

It does make me think of Rosacea. Rosemary is a beautiful name

Two Rosies in daughters class, although one is Rosanna.

Makes me think of the cat in the original Fireman Sam series...
I love it....

I only know of one Rosa & she is early 40’s. Irish lady.

Statistically it may be on the up, but you should also look at this through the lens of your local area. There are definite trend patterns of distribution depending on locality. If you don’t know any little Rosa’s in your vicinity and considering we can’t accurately predict future naming trends, go for it .

I know two Rosas, one is nine and the other about five.

Rosa Mystica is a fantastic name.

I know a two year old Rosa and another one who is in her early 30s.

I think once you choose a name, if you're remotely bothered about it being popular you cringe every time you see it mentioned and you think it is everywhere. Kind of like how when you're pregnant you notice pregnant women everywhere.

My DS's name is below number 300 in the popularity rankings, but my impression from looking on here is that every other baby boy shares his name! Some of it is definitely confirmation bias.

It’s a lovely name. I’ve never known a Rosa.
