Hi I currently got three names in mind but really could do with some opinions on which flows better🥺 been really hard with girl names as my husband has been super picky:

Ava Rosalie Yates
Robyn Rose Yates
Elsie Grace Yates

Congratulations. I love Elsie Grace.

RegalDiamondMonster · 16/02/2026 14:11

Ava Rosalie is my favourite.

Ava Rosalie is my favourite.

Leaning towards that right now

Elsie Grace Yates

BoleynMemories13 · 16/02/2026 14:35

Ava Grace, I'm not a fan of Rosalie.

MyMilchick · 16/02/2026 14:36

Elsie Grace flows best

TomatoSandwiches · 16/02/2026 14:39

Ava Rosalie is lovely, Robyn Rose second, Elsie Grace is twee and quite a common combination.

NamingNoNames · 16/02/2026 14:40

When is she due?

hazel889 · 16/02/2026 14:42

sorry to be different but I like Robyn rose the best😄

FryingPam · 16/02/2026 14:45

They are all beautiful names. Did you consider using two of your first names? I think Rose and Grace are quite overused, but all of your first names are gorgeous. Out of these combinations, I’d probably go for Ava Rosalie.

ImFineItsAllFine · 16/02/2026 14:50

Ava Rosalie is lovely

spiderlight · 16/02/2026 14:50

I love Ava Rosalie and Elsie Grace.

NamingNoNames · 16/02/2026 14:58

I don't really like any of them, but that's due to different taste.

What's your DD called?

yikesanotherbooboo · 16/02/2026 15:04

I like Rosalie and Robin ( not as keen with the y spelling).I’m not keen on Ava due to overuse and pronounciation issues. The other names are pretty but are a bit ‘fillerish’ type names and I would prefer finding names that mean something to you for middle names.

RudolphRNR · 16/02/2026 15:06

Robyn Rose or Robyn Rosalie would be my choices, both so pretty!

Floundering66 · 16/02/2026 15:12

I’d vote for Robyn Rose too

dailyconniptions · 16/02/2026 15:17

Ava Rosalie, without a doubt. Can't stand the filler middle names Rose and Grace. Robyn sounds male and Elsie sounds geriatric.

NamingNoNames · 16/02/2026 15:23

Can't stand the filler middle names Rose and Grace.
I quite like them as first names but they're meh as middle names.

amy480 · 16/02/2026 15:46

Congratulations! Ava Rosalie is gorgeous. I have a baby Ava and I was worried about popularity but since attending baby classes and meeting a lot of babies, I realise how completely varied names are now - plus there are some more of the moment names coming through which I’m hearing a lot more.

Robyn is also great and a very solid choice and I quite like the contrast with Rose.
Elsie is pretty but I find it a very cute / twee name which is lovely on a little one but perhaps less desirable on an adult.

foggyday90 · 16/02/2026 15:52

Robyn Rose

maddiemookins16mum · 16/02/2026 15:57

Oooh tricky, they’re all lovely. I like Robyn best.

BigFishLittleFishCardboardBoxes · 16/02/2026 16:19

Rose and Grace are so overdone and boring as middle names. All girls have them (along with May) and Ava and Elsie are so overused.

Give the choice I would pick Ava Rosalie but she would be the 25th Ava in her year at school (exaggeration but it feels that way) I know so many.

NamingNoNames · 16/02/2026 16:44

@amy480 , Elsie is pretty but I find it a very cute / twee name which is lovely on a little one but perhaps less desirable on an adult.
It's the 10th most popular name for baby girls in England and Wales so it will be a normal name when she's an adult.
