Just that really! DH loves Rosalie…I still think it has hints of the Twilight saga after all this time..

Nancy. I really dislike Daphne and Rosalie sounds like Rosie Lee (cup of tea)

Derrymum123 · 06/09/2021 18:08

Nancy. Very beautiful name.

pantherrose · 06/09/2021 18:11

Nancy and Rosalie are lovely, Daphne wouldn’t be my choice.

DoodleBelle · 06/09/2021 18:16

I like all 3 sorry! Very feminine sounding yet refreshing. Which works best with your surname?

Blueberry40 · 06/09/2021 18:17

Rosalie is a beautiful name!

Scrambledbeans · 06/09/2021 18:27

Our surname is very long. Yes I love Nancy but have tried it on a few people with quite negative reactions !

Love Nancy.....

stripedbananas · 06/09/2021 18:41

I quite like them all

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 06/09/2021 18:41

Rosalie is beautiful - and underused enough that it feels fairly timeless (as well as giving her pretty nn options if she wants them).

Sorry I dislike Nancy (very retro trendy), and have never liked the sound of Daphne (daft/daffy plus Bridgerton may mean an increase in popularity).

stripedbananas · 06/09/2021 18:41

Rosalie is my favourite though

DramaAlpaca · 06/09/2021 18:42

I love Daphne and Rosalie, but I can't stand Nancy.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/09/2021 18:43

Love Nancy

peoniesandpastels · 06/09/2021 18:57

I like Daphne best of the three. Nancy doesn't appeal to me at all, and while Rosalie is very pretty, I do associate it with the Twilight saga.

How likely is it that Twilight will be as well known in your daughter's generation though, I wonder? Her peers may well not have that same association.

I like Rosalie but dislike Daphne and Nancy.

tiredteacher100 · 06/09/2021 18:59

Definitely Nancy - a fab name!

TatianaBis · 06/09/2021 19:00

Nancy by miles.

I like Rosalie too but not as much. Pretty but less characterful.

Daphne is grim.

RavenclawsRoar · 06/09/2021 19:00

I like all 3! I think I'd go for Rosalie...I didn't immediately think of Twilight (and I have read the books and seen the films!).

Mamette · 06/09/2021 19:01

Nancy ❤️

Sarcobaleno · 06/09/2021 19:20

Nancy. I love it but was vetoed by DH

Heruka · 06/09/2021 19:21

Nancy definitely top, love Daphne too, Rosalie just no for me. First two are kinda vintage cool and Rosalie more twee meh uncool.

MotherOfCrocodiles · 06/09/2021 19:25

Never used to like daphne til I smelled the flowers in January and learned what it was. Such a lovely plant at a time of year when nothing else is blooming.

Kitkat151 · 06/09/2021 19:27

Daphne

catsareme14 · 06/09/2021 19:32

Nancy , a beautiful, feminine, strong name .

SoSoSoSleepy · 06/09/2021 19:53

I love Daphne. It was on my list, but discounted it as I live in the north west and it would sound horrible. Rosalie is nice, but I much prefer Rosa or just Rose. Nancy is a bit twee.

freelions · 06/09/2021 19:54

Daphne would be my choice but I like all 3 names
