Choosing between Susannah, Melody, Rosa and Esther

[Dana92]

Could anyone help with deciding between our shortlist of names please. We're down to Susannah, Melody, Rosa and Esther.

If I had my time again I’d choose Esther. Such a beautiful name.

Esther, no contest!

Susannah is lovely. Susie is a great nickname.

I’ve never warmed to Esther; for some reason it makes me think of old fashioned anaesthetic.

Thanks, what's the anaesthetic it sounds like I don't think I've heard of it?

Susannah with Suzi or Susie for short is lovely.

Susannah, Rosa and Esther are lovely names. Not sure about Melody, though.

The anaesthetic is ether - and to me, it has less than nothing to do with the name Esther, which is lovely.

Ether.

Ether.

Oh ok thanks.

Thanks.🙂

Nice choices. Susannah is lovely - I sometimes wish I'd named DD that.

Rosa is very nice. Esther and Melody are both nice names, a lot of people will insist you can't use Melody though as apparently it's dated. It sounds nice though - what about Elodie which is apparently in fashion and almost the same sound?

I love Esther and Susannah. Rosa is nice. Not keen on Melody.

I love Susanna

i love susannah and detest the rest especially esther…

I think i would pick Melody or Esther shortened to Essie

My least favoyrite is Susannah as i think its unnessarily long and i dislike Sue / Susie

Rosa is nice but Rose is quitr popular atm and i think Rosa would often get mistaken for Rose, plus i find Rosie a bit twee

Thanks, Elodie is really pretty, but I'm not too fussed about fashion so I don't mind Melody not being fashionable.

Suzanna with no H or Esther. Third place Rosa. Not Melody at all.

We have a Suzannah, we call her ZuZu (she’s a third) but the name has ‘normal’ options like Suzie or Anna if she prefers something more traditional when she’s older.
Rosa is lovely.

Susannah is absolutely beautiful

I like Melody and Rosa

Thanks, Zuzu is an adorable nickname. 😊 I've just been watching Gilmore girls which has a character called Suki, I quite like that as a nickname for it too.

Ooh Suki is lovely. 😊

I'd vote for Susannah! But they're all nice names

@Dana92 I’m biased. A close relative was Esther Rose. I like Susannah. Melody not so much. We had various versions of Rose in our extended family: Rosalie, Rosanna and Rosa. All good names.

I think Esther is a bit ugly. My choice would be Rosa
