I love Noa and Alessia. I considered both but wondered whether Noa would be confused for a boy and if Alessia would be weird when we have no Italian connections.

From the boys names my favourites are Isaac, Finn, Henry and Luca although I prefer Lucas to Luca.

Marymary987 · 21/10/2022 12:10

Noa is lovely and I like Alessia too. Boys I’m not as keen on but I like Luca and Finn although I don’t think Finn Rose sounds very good.

JessRose23 · 21/10/2022 12:13

Yeah I’m completely struggling with boys names, like you say particularly with our surname.

Love Noa - is it too popular?

mondaytosunday · 21/10/2022 12:24

I love Georgia (rather than Georgie).
Kit for boy.

S25 · 21/10/2022 12:36

I love Blake! The only Blake I’ve known is male but l really love it for a girl ❤️

of your list I also like Indie, Noa & Billie

all of which go fine with your surname!

Of your boy’s names I like Henry, Kit & Finn - with your surname though I think Finley nn Finn sounds better.

QuinoaWest · 21/10/2022 14:41

Freya Rose

Isaac Rose

steppemum · 21/10/2022 14:45

I think boys names are hard with the surname Rose.
It probably has to be quite a strong masculine name.
I think William Rose
Isaac Rose and
Henry Rose

all work well.

I won't comment on the girls as they are all very different to my style, so I'm not much help.

LeMoo · 21/10/2022 14:46

Esme or Billie

William or Henry

Adultchildofelderlyparents · 21/10/2022 14:53

My choices would be
Esme Rose
Freya Rose
Robert Rose
William Rose

20viona · 21/10/2022 15:01

Noa and Luca. Lovely names.

DeeDeeDaisy · 21/10/2022 19:04

My favourites are
Indie
Georgie
Esme
Francesca nn Ceska
Theodora - nn Teddie (although not sure this goes well with Rose)

Oscar
Kit
Finn (prefer Finley with Rose)
Luca

Thisisnotmyname2 · 21/10/2022 21:08

Anything too short doesn't flow with rose. I would go for longer options, Francesca, Oscar etc.. all fine. Kit and Noa are too short for rose imo.

I would have Harriet for hattie and Georgia instead of Georgie. Some nice names in there though. Billie Rose is very cool.

andrea4321 · 21/10/2022 21:18

Indie - quite sweet
Noa - cool name, but would Noa Rose sound a bit like "not a rose'?
Georgie - a bit outdated to me
Alessia - lovely, though I don't like that the centre of the name is the word 'less'
Blake - strongly dislike
Esme - nice
Francesca nn Ceska - outdated
Hattie - a bit frumpy
Billie - bit too wannabe cool for me
Theodora - nn Teddie - soooo many Theo/Thea names at the moment
Freya - very very popular

Robert - Robert Rose?
Oscar - overly popular, bit boring
William - nice, my favourite
Isaac - okay, though gets misspelled a lot
Henry - bit boring
Kit - sounds like sports kit
Finn - nice enough, bit wet
Luca - same

So my favourites would be Indie Rose and William Rose!

SleepingStandingUp · 21/10/2022 21:23

Indie - like it
Noa - love it
Georgie - meh about it
Alessia - how you pronouncing it? a-lee-C-a? It's oj
Esme - prefer Esmerelda
Francesca nn Ceska - don't like your diminutive
Hattie - Harriet is ok
Theodora - nn Teddie - don't like your diminutive
Freya - love, love, love

Robert - bleurgh
Oscar - nice
William - solid
Isaac - like
Henry - cute
Kit - no
Finn - love
Luca - love
Blake - ok
Billy - no

So I'd have Noa, Freya, Finn and Luca

StopFeckingFaffing · 21/10/2022 21:24

I think Francesca Rose or Freya Rose both work really well

I like but don't love any of your boys names. Robert or Henry would get my vote but not 100% on either of them. What about Rory, Barnaby or Patrick

EgonsShell · 21/10/2022 21:25

Esme Rose or Isaac Rose.

GreyRooty · 21/10/2022 21:28

Francesca or Billie

Isaac

FindingMeno · 21/10/2022 21:31

Francesca and Luca are my favourites

Mumofgirls2017 · 21/10/2022 23:17

Theodora. Henry or Kit

Luredbyapomegranate · 22/10/2022 01:21

Francesca and Issac - great names

Indie - no, trying to be cool and failing. Overused
Noa - no, confusion with Noah will be irritating
Georgie - only as a nn for Georgia
Alessia - Alicia is much nicer
Blake - no, just no.
Esme - done to death.
Hattie - only as a nn for Harriet
Billie - it’s not great
Theodora - nn Teddie - done to death
Freya - nice but recently overused

Robert - like it but not the double r
Oscar - done to death
William - done to death
Henry - done to death
Kit - popular right now, Kit Rose is a bit feminine and as you do get girls called
Kit / Kitty I wouldn’t
Finn - done to death
Luca - v popular suddenly, so will dare, Lucas or even better Luke work bettter.
Luke Rose sounds good

username345 · 22/10/2022 01:23

Oscar and Blake Rose sound good.

wizzler · 22/10/2022 06:56

I like the. Names with three syllables with your surname.. Harriet, Francesca. Of the boys names I like Henry, Isaac

How about Elijah, Madeleine, Caroline

andrea4321 · 22/10/2022 08:51

Rory Rose?!!

Titsflyingsouth · 22/10/2022 08:56

Of the girls names, Freya, Esme, Francesca and Georgie are decent. If pushed, I'd plump for Freya.

Really really hate:

Noa - really, really dislike. Looks like a misspelling of Nora or Noah

Blake - horrible.

Theodora - too frilly and fussy for me personally. And I hate the nn Teddy for a girl. Cutesy and infantile.

All the boys names are Ok, but my favs are Kit and Finn.

octoberfarm · 23/10/2022 04:04

From your girls list I love Noa (don't think it's too popular at all!) and Indie.

From your boys list I love William, Luca and Kit Smile
