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

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 think Hazel, Evelyn/Evie and Mabel may be too popular for your liking? Mabel is a top 20 name now.

Suggestions with Rosa -

Audrey
Betsy
Cleo
Daphne
Edith
Felicity
Heidi
Maggie
Marnie
Naomi
Nellie
Sylvie

From your list:
Evelyn (nn Evie) - my partner's current favourite - How about Eve on its own

Harriet - love
Zoe - like a lot

Names that one of us has vetoed:

Nina - love

Margot - really like

also maybe consider Eliza, Eleanor, Grace, Louisa

Congratulations! 👶

Congrats! I have a Juliet, middle name Rosa, so my suggestion is also Juliet. Well known name but surprisingly unusual these days based on the baby name statistics. Zoe was on my list too but I am not sure it flows so well with Rosa.

Congratulations!
I suggest Maria, Anna, Sophia, Julia or Louisa

Congratulations. Sometimes the baby looks more like one name than another. I like all your suggestions except Harriet, which I find awkward to say, Grace, because it’s difficult if they aren’t graceful, and Hazel, because I knew a horrid Hazel. I like Nina, Dorcas, and Eliza. I love Felicity. Which names work best with your surname?

LoudPlumDog · 06/08/2026 14:33

All the shortlisted are super popular.

Suggestions:

Rosa and Camille
Rosa and Gretchen

Rosa and Lillian
Rosa and Edith
Rosa and Faith
Rosa and Mae
Rosa and Frances
Rosa and Helen
Rosa and Naomi
Rosa and Neroli
