Down to 2 girls names..help

We’re expecting end of this month and have managed to get down to 2 girls names we both really like and cannot decide between. Surname is one syllable and older brother William.

Jessica Rose B (will be Jessie / Jess)
Madison Rose B (will be Maddie)

Rose is set (I know some people think it’s a bit too popular now but it has significant meaning).

Thanks

Jessica all the way. Lovely.

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/09/2021 20:53

Sorry, no help at all, love both Jess and Maddie.

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/09/2021 20:54

(Is this your first?
If she is, Maddie.
If you’re planning a second, Jess works for both girls and boys.)

I'm a Jessica (known as jess or jessie) and I love how much everyone is into it! I'm late 30s and agree it doesn't seem that common atm. Go for it! I really like my name and the choices to shorten it :)

Jessica Rose 100%

Not a fan of Madison at all. Jessica goes so much better with William

Jessica Rose for sure, that’s lovely . Madison is really not a nice name at all, totally different type of name to Jessica and William.

RubySlippers123 · 01/09/2021 21:11

Jessica!

SpeckledyHen · 01/09/2021 21:28

Jessica

[quote HerRoyalRisesAgain]@JSL52 you'll be pleased to know my daughter only ever goes by her full name (shortenings of it are awful to be fair)

I guess people pick names with NN as its inevitable that some names get shortened, like Jonathan to Jon. [/quote]
Mine too. I don't think it's inevitable that names are shortened.

100% Jessica, has lots going for it, works with everything from Shakespeare (Merchant of Venice) to Sweet Valley High (naughty twin). Madison is faddy definitely not

Jessica Rose is my name. Great choice! My sisters always hated their names, but I've always been happy with mine. 😊
