Rose or Rosa

Good morning

Promise this is my last post - I said this last night.

Baby first name Rose or Rosa

It will be one of the above with middle name Victoria.

Rose Victoria

Rosa Victoria

Thanks

So was mine and I’d never heard it before!

My eldest grandchild is called Rose, she’s 9, and was born just 3 months after my mum passed away. My daughter and son-in-law chose to not find out the gender during the pregnancy. Rose was my mum’s middle name and I had also chosen Rose as a middle name for said daughter. My other daughter’s first child also has Rose as a middle name. Both of my granddaughters are named after 3 of their great grandmothers. Very traditional names.

Rose is very pretty but I think Rosa just has something about it. It's a bit spunkier. I prefer it personally.

Except they're not, and they're not even my kids' names.

Thank you to everyone that has messaged. I am registering today late afternoon no doubt in the car journey I will change my mind yet again last minute.

Lucia was in the running as well as Rose and Rosa. Lucia Victoria sorry was also in the running with rose and Rosa.

However right now I keep going back to
Rose Victoria

Thank you for sharing examples and thoughts.

Rose Victoria still! So classy.

I like Rosalie, with Rosa for short

yes I agree

Rose, every time.

Rose is such a gorgeous name.

Rosalita. Rosa for short 😊

Love both, but pick the one you like best, not the one that "flows best" with Victoria. Middle names are hardly ever used in real life; as long as a combo doesn't sound actively "awkward" it's fine - and both Rose and Rosa are basically fine with Victoria.

Data says Rose is a lot commoner than Rosa (but I don't think either is overused).

Lucia is a good name too, but only with the Spanish Loo-SEE-a pronunciation. I don't like Loosha (make me thing of loo brushes) or Loo-CHEE-a (makes me think of cheese).

I adore Rosa

Well thank you everyone for all of the feedback I really appreciate it.

I went with Rose in the end.
I did think people would just shorten Rosa anyway.

The registrar said she sees Rose a lot for middle but not very much for first so that was something.

thank you all.

Beautiful choice OP 🥰 Thanks for the update

Lovely choice 🥰
