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 😊

Belle! It’s so sweet.

Not sure about this but if I go ahead with a first name and go with Rose as the middle name, if I change my mind / can’t get used to it then would It be silly to just call her Rose?

I ask as I have just come across a Rose and found out her name is actually Stephanie Rose however throughout life so far been known as Rose.

I understand things like the Drs would call her by first name and still all legal things etc would be still first name. School would register as the birth name however I know they ask what is the child known by.

Anyone know of or even done this before?
hope I don’t sound crazy.

I know I could change BC however I don’t really want to do that ( I asked this on a post before)

Being known by your middle name is a PITA. I know lots of people who go by their middle name, and some have switched to using the first name.
Some actively dislike the unused name but some use the full name.

It's quite common in Wales and the pattern is often something like DGM/DGF_name DCname Surname.
Something like Thomas Ynyr Evans and Margaret Llinos Hughes finding that they preferred to be Tom or Margaret than have people struggle with their name.

Going by a middle name is totally normal imo. My brother has always gone by his middle name and it’s basically just a first name to us.. but it sounds like you love the name Rose more than the other suggestions so if I were you I would just go for it as the first name. Rose is a really gorgeous name, the only negatives you hear are generally said when people use it to double barrel totally unrelated names eg Ellie-Rose.. and it’s a bit overdone but Rose alone is simple and beautiful. If that’s what you like you should go for it. I always imagine how I’d feel if a close friend used a name before I got the chance.. would you be more upset losing the name Rose or the others? That should decide for you.

I have been known by my second name since I was early 20s. I switched because I preferred it to the first name my parents had given me. It's been no problem at all. Most place (e.g. doctors) you register your details and they will have a section on the form for "known as" so you would give the full name and then known as Rose.

Thank you very much really appreciate it. Made me feel better just incase that should happen where I change my mind.

@FlatWhite2 i definitely do feel that over the last couple of days I would like Rose as the first name. However I thought just incase I change my mind. I do hear it so many times as a middle name rarely first name.

I wouldn’t double barrel it but I probably would have a middle name just unsure what I would have after Rose.

thank you again.

Youngest daughter was going to be a Rose but my grandma said it's a gypsy-traveller name and that I shouldn't use it. My Gran was very old and stuck in her ways/views so I wished I'd have used it now as a first name rather than second, as it's very overly-used as a middle name now. Rose as a first name I think is elegant and classic.

I'm a Victoria so if you want that name then you also have to like the shortened versions. I'm a Vicky, or Vic depending on who I'm talking to. And my mum HATES it. Says it's common. I've questioned her many times whilst she had a child in the 80s and gave her a name that when shortened she absolutely hated!!!

I love Lucia Victoria. Super name.

Definitely stick with Rose as a first name if that’s your favourite (I love it too!) Middle name ideas -

Rose Olivia
Rose Elizabeth
Rose Alexandra
Rose Penelope
Rose Ophelia
Rose Amelia
Rose Eliza
Rose Nicole
Rose Danielle
Rose Annalise

Rosa Victoria.

@itsallabitofamystery thank you very much.

I know a Victoria and the same thing, name is shortened constantly. I’m glad you mentioned it because that is my problem at the minute why I’m stuck. I absolutely don’t like it shortened. Nothing against anyone that has there name like that. So this is why I’m back and forth on that name.
However with Rose yes I do really like it.

thank you
