Narrowed it down to two names, please help!!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Everyone, this is my first post, and I need your honest opinions!

We’re expecting a little girl in 9 weeks and I cannot decide between [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]. Any insight or thoughts are greatly appreciated. I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] because it is classic, and in my opinion, simple and strong as a first name. We would probably call her [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] seems clean and fresh, although I worry about the growing popularity.

Please help!!

Both are beautifull names. I have been told before to not worry about popularity if you really love a name. I also think [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] has a nice ring to it., and I have’t heard It used often myself. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is timeless, so you wouldn’the go wrong choosing it.

Oh, both options are beautiful! You have wonderful taste. :slight_smile:

If I had to choose I would use [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is getting too popular and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is truly a classic. Best wishes to you!

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] has a timeless feel that [name_f]Mila[/name_f] doesn’t. Also, [name_f]Mila[/name_f] to me has a very Slavic feel to it, which is fine, but seems to clash a bit with [name_f]Kate[/name_f].

I like both!

Are you envisaging [name_f]Mila[/name_f] to be Mee-la or My-la or Mi-lla in pronunciation? I’m from the UK and from reading I would probably do My-la to rhyme with [name_f]Lila[/name_f] but I like all three pronunciations. [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is a solid middle name as well.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is lovely (very popular in UK atm btw) and it flows well with [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] - I like this spelling especially with the Mad-uh-[name_f]Lin[/name_f] pronunciation rather than the Mad-uh-lane pronunciation

I adore [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a FN, it’ so refreshing. It really is a timeless classic so [name_f]Rose[/name_f] gets my vote!

I love both of these names! You can’t go wrong :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] better. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] seems way more popular than [name_f]Mila[/name_f].

They’re both very nice, but I personally prefer [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f].

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is one of my favorite names! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] is stunning!

I think both are pretty but my personal preference is [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. It’s a great, classic.

I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] has a better flow!

I love [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. Sweet & spunky, which is just what i like in a name. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] is very pretty tho, and more sophisticated, but lacks the spunky factor for me. So it’s just a matter of style I think…
