I’d appreciate your thoughts. We’ve a little boy named George. He is being joined by a little sister later this year and me and hubby are torn between 2 names 😂

George & Rosie

or

George & Holly

thanks so much!

I love Rosie. I'm not usually a fan of flower names but I have a soft spot for Rosie. Maybe wait until she's born to see what your gut feeling is.

Holly. A really lovely name for a child or woman. Rosie is OK but just feels like a nickname.

Rosie! Such a beautiful name.

Holly

Both are nice

You'll have to wait till she's born and see which one suits her best

Holly

Rosa or Rose, nn Rosie

Rosa

I’d have Rose on the birth certificate and call her Rosie.

I love the name Holly. It also feels like more of a complete name, whereas Rosie feels like a nickname to me. I would go for Rose, nn Rosie, or one of the many other Rose based names.

I still much prefer Holly though. It's very underused these days, considering nature names and names ending in y/ie are both so in.

Clearly if you have a George his sister MUST be Peppa.

I love a pp's suggestion of Rosa (and Rosie as a family nn)

I like Rosie and Holly. Pretty, classic, popular but not too popular.

What about George & Rosanna (nn Rosie)

Holly is one of my favourite names - love it! (& love George too). Rosie is lovely too, but there are quite a few Rose variants around at the moment so Holly feels a bit more distinct.

I like Rosy spelt with a y

@Sunflower8710 , if you want Rosie, register her as Rosie.
Both names are pretty.

Thank you so much everyone! It seems to be a good 50/50 split 😂 x

George and Rose work together so beautifully if that matters imo, as both are simple classics. You could still obviously call her “Rosie” on a day to day basis- but personally I think it would be nice to give her the more timeless name on the BC like her brother.

I don’t hate Holly or Rosie but I’ve personally never met any older than late 30’s. Whereas I know George’s and Rose’s of various ages which is always my personal preference for a name.

Rosaline/Rosaleen, Rosalind or Rosalyn.

My soft spot is for Rosaleen.

Holly :)

Rosie. I never think of Holly as a real name. And it’s prickly & associated with Christmas & carols. Rosie could be Rose or Rosemary or Rosalie with nickname Rosie.

Given the responses on here, I'd pick Holly, on the grounds that nobody has suggested a different name of which it could be a diminutive.

Rosie has been in use as a standalone first name for decades.

Holly if it's a December/very early January baby, otherwise Rose/Rosie/Rosemary/Rosalie (I would really consider having Rosie as a nickname rather than full name).

Both are lovely.
My fave is Rosie ..
