Adelaide, Sydney or Harper

[lovedoesntneedtobeperfect]

Down to three girls names, but struggling to choose.

1. Adelaide Rose
2. Sydney Rose
3. Harper Rose Or Harper Juliet Which do prefer and why?

Rose Juliet.

at a push Adelaide Juliet

Adelaide for sure. Sydney is a distant second. Harper never.

Adelaide Juliet is just about passable.

Rose is overused ("it's a family name!" Sure, Jan...)

Sydney is disgusting. Like a mulchy lawn.

Adelaide and Heidi for short

Lovely

I hate Harper, and to me, it means "whiny"

Adelaide Rose

Rose or Juliet. I’m not a fan of place names as Christian/first names or of surnames such as Harper.

I wasn’t aware Heidi was short for Adelaide.🤔

Just checked. It’s a derivative of Adelheid. Quite different.

😂😂😂

Adelaide by a mile, but I'd pick a less tired middle name.

Sydney will create confusion about gender, and Harper sounds like the sort of name an Instagram Mummy calls her kids. Also, "Harping on about XYZ."

Adelaide is my favourite. I think it's a beautiful name and has lots of options for nicknames

Adelaide is one of my favourite names ever. I love the fact that people are saying 'but it's a place name!!!' when that place was literally named after a person (a queen no less!). So I'd 100% go for that.

Not overly keen on Sydney/Syd (just don't really like the sound of the word) and Harper is... ok... but a bit meh.

Adelaide is my favourite of your first name choices, altho I love Juliet. Harper=harpy in my head, and I just don’t like the sound generally, and Sydney makes me think of a guys name, and not a great one.
I also like Adeline. I know you didn’t ask for suggestions, sorry!

I don’t love any of them.

Rosanna?

Adelaide makes me think of Addle-ade. I don't like it.
Sydney - not sure, Sid James puts me off
Harper - ok as a surname but makes me think of
Harpy and Harpoon

Adelheid is not ‘quite’ different from Adelaide. They are variations of the same name.

Sounds different. Which is quite major in choosing a name.

I love Adelaide. We chose it as a middle name, partly because we liked it but also because it's a family name.

We don't get a lot of compliments on it though - as this thread shows, I think people think we named her after a city that we have no connection to...

I like Adelaide Juliet, or AJ for short.

I've met so many little Harpers last year that it's our me off a bit.

Alexandra Rose - Sandy.
Rose Adelaide - Rose Bay
Bonnie Layne - after Layne Beachley, a strong surfer woman.
Julia Rose - Port Julia is in South Australia

I like Adelaide best. It has quite a different feel to the other names.
Sydney was always a man’s name. I had relatives with this name as a child albeit a different spelling.
Harper sounds too unisex/masculine. Like a previous poster pointed out Harper was the middle name of Harper Lee and babes after a man.
I disagree about Rose it’s a beautiful band which has stood the test of time. Much better to use that than sone random nabe without meaning to you, or one which doesn’t flow.

Name not band.

Adelaide Rose is lovely

I don’t like any of them. Juliet is nice though.
