Honest Opinion on Girls Name Needed

[Mama0ftw0]

Hello

Currently trying to decide on a name for a girl.

If anyone has a bit of time, would appreciate some honest opinions on the below. Also welcome to drop some ideas in the comments. Really struggling.

Belle Victoria Rose

Victoria Rose

Rose Victoria

Lucia

Many thanks 😊

Victoria Rose is my personal favourite, I love how the strength and determination of Victoria (linking to Julius Caesar’s battle victories 🏆) contrasts to the delicate femininity of Rose 🌹. Lucia is okay but actually means cow feet in Indonesian, LOL 😂

I've just checked Darker Green and you're right! Daisy is much more popular than I realised. Scratch that one. I still stand by the statement Belle is naff(er). It's a Disney princess ffs (and the pen name for a prolific escort). And as the song goes "her name means beauty" 🤢 Lastly, it's not even a 'proper' name IMO, it's a nickname at best.

Belle - I just can't like it, it reminds me of beauty and the beast and also of those little cheese babybels.
Rose - I would only include it if you really love the flowers.
Lucia and Victoria - I love both of these.

So from your list I would choose
Lucia Victoria or Lucia Victoria Rose.

Some similar names if you want more suggestions:
Sofia/Sophia
Serena
Sienna
Leonora
Leona
Valentina
Juliana

Thank you to everyone who sent a reply. I really appreciate it.

I am open to name suggestions because I am really struggling to pick a name. Therefore, maybe a new name is the way forward because I just can’t decide and things have swayed me away some of the ones I mentioned. Rose I did not realise how overused it is but it does have meaning for me.
Belle I completely didn’t realise about Disney. I think I completely forgot as I always think Beauty. Also I didn’t realise about the bad side.

Thank you for replying.

@LadyEloise1 absolutely love Eloise as a name.

Thank you. I just worry about people shortening the name Vicki Vic Vicky etc.

Thanks

Lucia is lovely. Lots of Roses around and not sure re Belle. I like Victoria but wouldn’t be keen on them potentially ending up as Vicky, which I don’t like, so I wouldn’t go for it myself.

@PickledScrump ha what happened?

thank you

Victoria Rose is lovely.

It's always good to get opinions somewhere like this, but ultimately, go with your gut feeling. Rose, for example, gets criticism for being popular and overused. But it's popular because a lot of people love it, and if you love it too then use it.

Also, don't feel like you need to have her name set in stone just yet. Thinking of names you like is fine, but when she's here and you are saying her name out loud and using it all day every day you might feel more connected to one name or another.

Rose is a popular middle name but so what. Victoria Rose is really lovely.

I just don't like the typical nickname of Vicky for Victoria. I do know a Victoria who has managed to avoid that though (although she does get called V a lot).

@HoHoHoliday thank you makes me feel better.
Rose does have a meaning but I did not realise just how popular it is.

I just keep going over and over them. I like to look across social media as some profiles list names etc.
Thank you.

@Yuckyyuckyuckity yes this is what puts me off. I only know one person a lady I used to work with and nobody shortened her name. She would always correct new starters if they shortened her name.
I would like it if I felt it would stay full name but yes always get shortened. Also not sure it fits now. Someone said too old now old money name or something lol.

thank you for messaging, appreciate it.

I really don’t like Belle but your other choices are nice.

My DGD and her friends nearly all have Rose as a middle name and they love having the same name.

I love Lucia, DD was nearly Victoria but settled on it as her middle name because I don’t like vic or Vicky.
For what it is worth - my name is pronounced 2 ways and most people ask my preference - it’s never been an issue

Victoria is my first choice (and was on my shortlist). Classic name, and I’m actually surprised it’s not more popular.

Alternatives -
Lucinda
Vanessa
Annabelle, nn Belle

Thank you @Mihijita

I did not realise how much Rose is used until I joined here.

Rosamund
Rosalind
Rosemary
Rosalie

Nice alternatives to Rose

@Mama0ftw0 its my name, after a lifetime of sticky Vicky, victor, vikram, Vicky the virus, V card and various other nicknames and comments, please don’t do it to your daughter. These are comments from kids, adults, friends, coworkers and complete strangers, most made in joking ways but it gets very old.

@PickledScrump thank you for sharing and sorry to hear that.
Thanks

I love Rose as a first name and don't think it's overused! It is a bit overdone as a middle name but not first. I really like Belle but would use it as a nickname for Isabel personally. Not a fan of Lucia, not sure why, I do like Lucy though. Victoria is a perfectly fine name, not my cup of tea but nothing wrong with it! I don't like Vicky though so that would put me off

Lucia is beautiful! A few suggestions with the same vibes

Sofia (LOVE)
Amelia
Cara

Lucia or Victoria are beautiful names.

I liked Lucia the best out of those, Belle second. Perhaps Rose as a middle name with Lucia?

Rose as a first name is uncommon and lovely. Likewise Lucia Victoria or Victoria Lucia sound great. Scarlett O'Hara's child with Rhett was Eugenia Victoria.

@FlatWhite2 beautiful Sofia is. Thank you for this message.
