Jasmine

I don't like Daphne and am baffled by its love on here.

Lara is nice too

Rosa Is my favourite. Or Jasmine if you like the nickname Jazz (I do!).

Ranked in order of preference

Hazel
Daphne
Rosa

The others I'm not so keen on, just because Jasmine is a disney princess plus nickname is "Jaz" or "Jazzie"

And lara to me is lara croft, but also why not laura?

Obviously ignore my negatives and go for whichever you love though

Daphne is beautiful and by far my favourite

Rosa- Second favourite - I like this name but to me it feels like a nick name
Lara - plain
Hazel - Nice name
Jasmine - Ok but reminds me of Aladdin

Much prefer Jasmine of your names. It's pretty and elegant with an air of fun.
Rosa is ok. Rosalind or Rosalie would be preferable as full name imo.
Lara just seems a bit nothing to me. Unfinished somehow. I do like the similar Clara though and I love Laura.
Dislike Hazel and dislike Daphne.

Which goes best with the surname?

Rosa - ok, lots of Rosies would put me off it
Lara - ok but L names are popular and it seems to similar to Lyra etc
Hazel - ok
Jasmine - like
Daphne - ok, a bit more unusual

Jasmine is ny favourite out of this list. But as you already have an Emma, Rosa seems a better fit.

I think that Jasmine is the nicest then Daphne.

All lovely names!

To go with Emma, I would choose Rosa personally, as it sounds the most classic to me.

Lara would be my second choice - it’s got the same lovely clean simple sort of sound as Emma.

Jasmine is really nice too, and Jazz is a good teen short version.

Daphne and Hazel are both great names if you want something a bit less commonly used but well known.

I’m personally not keen on Daphne or Hazel.
