Stuck between two girls names

I'm due in a matter of days and completely stuck between two names for my baby girl!

The middle name is a family name so I am at least fixed on that.

What do you prefer out of

Rose Florence
Annie Florence

Our surname starts with Mc.. (3 syllables)

Thoughts greatly welcomed before I go into labour!

Rose

I like both names, my fave is Annie. But, I think Rose Mc... Flows best. I really don't think you can go wrong with either.

I like both Rose and Annie so I would just choose whichever you prefer and/or sounds best with your surname

I wouldn't get too hung up on which sounds best with Florence as she will rarely be called her full name anyway

If I was pushed to make a choice I would probably go Annie as it is a little more unusual at the moment

You don’t have to decide before your dc is born. Why don’t you wait until you meet and then decide which name suits her most.

Alternatively, toss a coin. Before it lands, you’ll know which name you actually prefer, as you’ll be hoping it lands on that choice.

Annie (unless there's any risk she might have red curly hair!)

Rose Florence - no contest for me. Elegant and classic name. Annie is cute but I'd assume it's a nn for Anne, Anna, Antonia etc.

I love Rose!

Anna Florence nn Annie

That way she gets the option of the elegant Anna or the jolly Anna (same as Rose/Rosie).
Anna and Rose equally lovely, but Rose and it’s variations have been heavily used for a long time, Anna only recently more recently popular, so sounds fresher.

Rose.
Had it been Anna instead of Annie then I'd have said Anna definitely.

JemimaJoy · 18/05/2021 17:44

Annie Florence sounds great!

Annie

MrsWooster · 18/05/2021 17:47

Annie McOnetwo is fab.

Anna is more classic and then you can call her Annie if you like.

Rose reminds me of an old lady
