Names to go with this surname?

[turnthepage]

Hello

I'm expecting DC1 currently and don't yet know the sex. DH and I can't put our finger on any stand out names just yet and would love some help!

Baby's surname will be Rose, so no floral girl names, or anything that could sound like a scented candle and for boys we just would like something that flows well and doesn't sound too "soft" with the surname.

All help very welcome!

I don't know why but I'm just not keen on Charlie. I think it makes me think of Prince Charles 😂 John is dull to me (sorry no offence to anyone, I always feel bad for not liking names!!).

@BasiliskStare hahaha that bloody bus driver I'd never heard of him either!

Someone mentioned Elliott which I do really like, but in our area most people don't pronounce their Ts properly and it'd end up "Ell-ee-uh" sort of sound. I like Ellis too but DH doesn't

If you like O at the end names - how about Sholto ? or more mainstream Hugo ? or a friend of mine's grandson is called Arlo - but I think that one is getting popular but nice ? My best friend's nephew is called Luca - cute as a button.

I am only offering no "t" at the end

I am sensing you do not like "boring" names so not the likes of Adam , Thomas , Henry etc,

I have a relation called Stella Rose. I have always liked the sound of it and it flows well.

Boy- Marcus Rose

Oh for a girl @Redsquirrel5- I think Stella is fantastic - it would be my choice for a girl - or indeed 2nd place would go Celia. Love Stella and John - but am rather over having babies so other's choice

Miles ?

Jeremy Rose
Benjamin Rose
Jacob Rose

Juliet Rose
Amelia Rose
Charlotte Rose

😃 my sister is Celia 😄

@Redsquirrel5 Brilliant name If I had had a girl it would have been toss up between Stella and Celia - but then that puts me firmly in the parents of parents camp So I probably have little to contribute here - ha ha

Mine are all grown up but no sign of grandchildren. My youngest sister has just been made a granny. Not many of either about. I have met one other Stella and two called Celia.

I agree with not using an R first name in case they can’t pronounce their Rs. I love the name Rory but didnt use it for that reason and very glad is because DS can’t pronounce his Rs!

“is” = “now” 😬
