Classic baby girl names to go with Rosa, not too popular

[Faithincats]

Due baby girl #2 in the next few weeks and we can't settle on a name. With our daughter, we always had a name in mind so this is new territory! Big sister is Rosa. I'd describe our style as quite classic while not wanting something super popular, although I am more concerned about the name's popularity than partner is. We'd prefer a name that doesn't end in "a".

Any preferences from our current shortlist, or names that we've missed and should consider?

Names we have shortlisted:
Evelyn (nn Evie) - my partner's current favourite
Mabel - my current favourite
Hazel
Harriet
Annabel
Zoe

Names that one of us has vetoed:
Isabel/Isabella
Maeve
Florence
Constance
Anya
Nina
Clara
Madeleine
Meredith
Margot
Jasmine

I like Hazel and Harriet

how about Ines?

I like Zoe and Maeve out of the ones on your list.

Others that come to mind - Eden, Belle

Cora
Elinor
Eleanor
Caroline
Edie
Violette
Francesca
Valentina
Sofia
Sophia

Arabella
Tabitha
Lucy
Annie
Jane
Grace

Eva
Ava
Not keen on Mabel sorry

Betsy
Savannah

Nancy

Juliet
Alice
Merryn
Faye
Cicely

Lola
Hebe
Lois
Ines
Dulcie

How about Cecily? Think it goes really well with Rosa.

I know a Persephone (Seffie) who has a big sister Rosa if you want to go grand.

Merle
Lynette
Esme
Esther

Bizarrely the first name that I thought of when I read your thread title, was Evelyn. I think it fits perfectly!

Rosa and Zoe and Rosa and Harriet work really well together. I also like Rosa and Phoebe as a PP suggested.

I love the name Annabel but it’s a different vibe from Rosa to me. It’s more classic elegance, for example Annabel & Rose would work together but Rosa is a little more spunky (for want of a better word??) so I think Zoe/Harriet/Phoebe are a better fit.

I love Zoe. Other names I love that I think go with Rosa: Elise, Emilia, Isabelle, Iris, Beatrice, Florence, Genevieve.

Another option would be Lucia? Rosa and Lucia sound lovely together and you could call Lucia, Lulu as a nn to avoid the “a” ending in day to day.

Eliza, Cora, violet, Eloise, Nancy.

In order:
Harriet - like a lot
Zoe - like
Hazel - ok
Annabel - prefer Anna
Evelyn (nn Evie) - I don't like Evelyn, Evie too overused
Mabel - I don't like Mabel

Celeste, Celine, Winnie, Emmeline, Marianne, Laila, Esme, Violet, Elise.

I think Annabel goes best from your list.

What about
Catherine
Carmen
Louise
Mirabel

My first thought from reading your title was Evelyn!

Other ideas,
Rosa and...
Seren
Eleanor
Beatrice
Heather
Ingrid
Juniper
Ottilie
Astrid
Coral
Amber
Annie

Hazel is nice.
But Rosa and Phoebe would be lovely!

There are three Evelyn or derivatives of in my DC class.

Out of your shortlist Annabel is my preferred.

How about Willow - follows the nature theme without being to obviously flowery?

Thank you everyone for the thoughtful responses! There are a couple of names suggested, in particular, that we like but which we couldn't use because we have very close friends/family with little ones by the same name (Florence and Margot, for instance).

Anyway, lots of food for thought here... Which is handy because baby girl arrived today 💕I'll update this thread with what we land on for anyone interested.

Huge congratulations to you all. What wonderful news. I bet Rosa is delighted with her new little baby sister. Congrats again.

How lovely! Congratulations 🎉

Rosa and Lilian
