Rosanna, Clara, Serena - HELP please!

[PinkSunflowers]

Which one do you like out of these? Any other hidden gems that we may have missed, please feel free to suggest (though it might make us even more confused 😅)

Our baby girl will be half South Asian, half Irish American and grow up in London & New York

Thank you so much!

I like all 3 but I LOVE Clara, it’s on my list for the future. I think it’s classy and timeless, suits a baby and an adult. We might have a similar taste in names so here are my other favourites

Sienna
Scarlett
Juliette
Alessia
Thea
Esme

I love Rosanna, Clara is okay and serena is not great.

Thank you! I really like your suggestions too

Thank you! We told in-laws and they sang the song by Toto… I never heard of it and don’t really care and doubt anyone in DD’s generation will either 😂

I really like Rosanna. It’s a Rose name which isn’t boring, had the ‘Rose’ not ‘Rox’ sound and lots of lovely potential nicknames. I like Rose and Annie as nicknames, could have Sanna too 🙂

‘Roz’ sound

Chris de Burgh has a daughter called rosanna and wrote a song about her (also called rosanna). It’s a beautiful name

I hate Rosanna, but Clara and Serena are both lovely

Love Serena.

Also love Celine.

If you want to avoid the Toto connection, you could consider Rozeena.

Any reason for disliking Rosanna? Just curious!

Not hugely bothered, just because I never heard of the song (born ‘92) and doubt DD’s classmates would have. Though her grandparents certainly know the song and serenaded us with it at Christmas 😂

I just think it sounds harsh, a mouthful. And a little dated

Cute! I’ll give it a listen

How about...

I like all three! Rosanna is probably my favourite though.

I like Rosanna a lot, and of your three it’s by far my favourite. Clara is pretty and seems to be quite popular where I am for under-5s. Serena is my least favourite of the three, I think it’s very dated and sort of stiff. (But then I suppose even Kylie will be popular again one day!)

Serena is by far the best

I would never have considered Clara previously but, my DD1 goes to school with one and I’ve fallen in love with it since. She so suits the name, it’s absolutely charming, just like she is.

I like Serena. Prefer Rosa to Rosanna which is over frilly and wouldn't suit a less than dainty person.
Don't like Clara at all.

I’ve never heard of that song either. Also my name is who the fuck is name, I’ve had it once in my 27 years so I wouldn’t worry about the song aspect of it.

Thank you! I like Rosa as a potential NN for when she is older (prefer it to Rosie!)

May I ask why you don’t like Clara? Just helpful to get different perspectives :)

I grew up next door to a fantastic old lady called Rosina! But also knew a very ‘drippy’ child at school called Rosanna.

Yes there’s something very charming and vintage about the name!

I just find Clara very clunky. It's like the name of a housemaid from years gone by.
Love Cara though. Fresher.
How about Roisin?
