Sister is Maya, which name would go best.

Both really lovely names, but perhaps Imogen works better than another “a” ending ?

DuckieDodgyHedgyPiggy · 12/04/2025 21:42

They are very different. I think Rosa goes better with Maya. It's also a timeless name, whereas to me, Imogen seems stuck in the 1990s.

Rosa is much better with Maya - so cute! Imogen is a bit marmite in my opinion.

ladygindiva · 12/04/2025 22:13

I don't like Rosa. Rose, I love.

DinaofCloud9 · 12/04/2025 22:16

I prefer Imogen.

Don't like Rosa & Maya. What about Rosie

MissyB1 · 12/04/2025 22:19

Two names ending in "a" is a bit much. Imogen is fine but will be shortened to Immy. I would change Rosa to Rose.

Imogen would end up as Immy - ughhh
Rosa is lovely

SkaneTos · 12/04/2025 22:26

Both are beautiful names.
I voted for Rosa.

Moreteaandchocolate · 12/04/2025 22:46

I love Imogen 😊 Rosa is a good choice too though.

TimeForTeaAndToast · 12/04/2025 22:52

I voted Imogen, because Rosa and Maya sound too similar.

LardiLaLardiLi · 12/04/2025 22:56

I voted Imogen; Rosa is nice, but Rosie works better with Maya.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 12/04/2025 23:56

Rosa and maya - I think of these as strong proud black women whose parents have named them after Rosa Parkes and maya angelou

Both are lovely. My personal favourite is Rosa.

MissedItByThisMuch · 13/04/2025 07:26

Imogen for me. Rosa sounds too samey and sing-songy with Maya. I like Rose with it though.

BoleynMemories13 · 13/04/2025 07:43

Imogen sounds better with Maya.

Two names ending in the same sound can work fine together, but when they also have same amount of syllables it can sound a bit samey. Maya and Rosa doesn't work for me, for this reason.

Maya and Rosalind would be a lovely pairing though. Or Maya and Rosalie. Even Maya and Rose. It's just the two 2 syllable names ending in the same sound thing that doesn't work well, for me.

Other 2 syllable names which would work with Maya, due to a different end sound:-

Ruby
Phoebe
Scarlett
Darcy
Willow
Holly
Robyn
Eden
Nancy
Heidi
Lily

Maya and Rosa sounds perfect to me.
