Ada, Rosa or Lily?

[Moonshine160]

Ada, Rosa or Lily for DC2? We have a one syllable surname. Always loved Lily but the popularity is putting us off a bit. Any other suggestions also welcome!

My DD2 is also Ada so yes another vote for Ada! Ada young is lovely

Rosa/Rose and Lily are the most beautiful names.

Ada - short, sweet, strong, bit vintage. Find Lilly a bit wishy washy, and blends into the many L names around at the moment - Lila, Leila, Layla, Lyra, Luna etc. Rosa is pretty. I know two. Again, Rose / Rosie / Rosalie around quite a bit.

All 3 are lovely, but if you've always loved Lily, stick with it - it manages to be both pretty sounding and elegant too imo (thanks to the image of the flower) and it's less popular than it used to be; plus popular names are just that for a reason - it means most people like them! Or you could consider beautiful Lilia? Less commonplace and the 3 syllables works well with a 1 syllable surname.

Having said that, I personally prefer 1 syllable Rose to Rosa - just that touch more classic, simpler and more elegant to me (again thanks to the immediate flower image). Ada is very cool imo, due to awesome historical namesake Ada Lovelace, but objectively the Aid - sound isn't quite as nice as the other two.

Love Rosa.

Not massively keen on any of them.

Ada is a drudge's name
Rosa is one of those clichéd 'MN approved' names. I don't like it. I think plain old Rose is far nicer.
Lily is nice. Has been ridiculously popular for the past 15 years but nice all the same.

Rosa is lovely and the variations are very good as well: Rosalyn, Rosalind, Rosalie, Rosamund, Rosemary. I love Rosa for its simplicity and dd would have been called that if it wasn't already taken.

I prefer Adeline to Ada and Liliana to Lily.
