Hi, please can we have your thoughts, good and bad, on the question below.
Baby girl due imminently. We already have a 3yo boy.
Thinking of Rosa as first name. Second name less important atm.
Short name. Has to be short as have a long surname
Not too common so hopefully only girl in her class with that name.
Common enough that people can pronounce and spell ok.
We've been looking at lists of the most popular (top 100) names in recent years and it hasnt been in there which is good.
Like the sound of the name and the meaning (Rose)
Could get shortened to Ro
Rose and Rosie are very popular in recent years looking at the lists and people could confuse the names
Rosie sounds quite child like and Rose is a bit old fashioned
Could be a bit too unusual and posh sounding - trying too hard. We live in London now but we're both from small towns outside London and our daughter may not always live in Londin.
Do you come across the name often?
Any experience of knowing children and adults living with the name in England?
Thanks in advance!
