Girls name shortlist - opinions please!

[humdeedodeedum]

Narrowed down to but struggling to pick between -

Rosa
Lara
Hazel
Jasmine
Daphne

I love them all so please give your favourite!

I love Rosa.

Daphne

rosa second then Hazel

Hazel.

If sister is Emma, then I would say Lara or Rosa would make a lovely sibset as Emma is very classic. Simpler and more traditional sounding Rose might fit even better than Rosa imo but may not be to your taste.

Nothing especially wrong with your other choices but to me they feel a bit fashionable/faddy compared to Emma (although I admit I dislike the sound of Daphne).

Daphne then Rosa, the others feel a bit dated

I loooove Daphne but DH vetoed it because apparently there is a shop called that 🤷‍♀️

Lara and Rosa seem quite popular around here. Hazel is pretty but a bit of an old lasy name to me. Maybe that means its due a rebirth though :)

Would you consider changing any of the names? Dara, Rosalie…

But if I had free choice from your names, I’d do Daphne Rose.

Lara or Jasmine.
I also like Daphne but to me it doesn't fit too well with Emma.

Love them all apart from Daphne
Makes me think of Neighbours

Lara is my favourite by far - love it!

Daphne is soo dated!

Daphne has never been popular enough to feel dated. It’s currently the most popular it’s ever been and that’s still in the 200s in 2021.

Jasmine

I really like Rosa and Lara too. But there are lots of Rosies around and lots of Lola/Lena/Lyra/Lyla/Luna/Leila type names about - they do all blur a bit.

Hazel is ok but prickly

Daphne is too Daffy Duck

Bridgerton’s passed you by then?

Decided on Rosa Erika - thank you all !

Rosa Erika is beautiful- congratulations!

They're lovely names! I think Daphne is quite common recently if that's important to you. I have a two year old and know 2 other Daphnes!

Rosa and Jasmine are my favourites!

I like jasmine and Rosa. Lara third. Like them together as well if you were thinking of using one as a middle name:

Jasmine Rosa
Rosa Jasmine

I like Daphne then Jasmine. Daphne was on my list but husband preferred Delphine so we went with something else as couldn't agree.

Rosa and Emma are nice but I'd want a longer name personally like Rosalie, Rosalind to allow for more shortening but that's my personal taste.

Daphne and Lara are lovely.

All nice names. Thoughts -

Rosa - I know two born in the last couple of years and is pretty popular, not to mention very common as a middle name (Rose), so would avoid. I quite like Rosamund though.
Lara - very pretty
Hazel - love, though having a bit of a moment - very on trend.
Jasmine - pretty, but maybe a bit Disney princess/90s vibes.
Daphne - pretty, though prefer Phoebe, along the same lines. Also might get shortened to Daff / Daffy, and will sound awful with some accents.

I'd probably go with Hazel, unless you're bothered about popularity, then I'd go for Daphne.
