[name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] for sure!

I voted for [name]Mabel[/name]. I love the image I get when I think of it. It also goes great with your other daughter’s names.

[name]Rosamund[/name] would be my 2nd pick from your list but it’s my least favorite of all the “[name]Rose[/name]” names. I prefer [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Rosemarie[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name], [name]Rose[/name], etc…

[name]Gloria[/name] is nms as a FN but I do like it as a MN.

“[name]Rose[/name]” names are done to death. I’d avoid at all costs if you want a unique name

[name]Mabel[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] doesn’t flow well

[name]Gloria[/name] is the best but I hate [name]Lori[/name]. I’d just use her full name or call her Glo or Lo or [name]Lola[/name]

[name]Mabel[/name], I love [name]Mabel[/name] and it sounds the best with the other girls’ names because it brings in fresh sounds. [name]Gloria[/name] and [name]Rosamund[/name] have the ro/or thing in commom with both [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Dorothy[/name].

[name]Florence[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name] and [name]Mabel[/name] are quite a perfect trio!

I agree with mischa–[name]Florence[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name] and [name]Mabel[/name] are quite a perfect trio!

[name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] is stunning! I tend to agree that most [name]Rose[/name] names are a bit overdone, but [name]Rosamund[/name] has a completely different sound. I also really quite like the fact that [name]Rosamund[/name] has the ro/or sound in common with [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Dorothy[/name], it ties them together in a way. [name]Floss[/name], [name]Dolly[/name] and [name]Rosa[/name] are just perfect :slight_smile:

Well we clearly have similar tastes in names!
I do really like your daughter [name]Florence[/name]'s name, too.

Of your options, I love [name]Gloria[/name] and [name]Mabel[/name] (see sig!) and really dislike [name]Rosamund[/name].
I find it quite heavy and austere sounding…

[name]Gloria[/name] [name]Mabel[/name]/ [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] I find a little heavy as combinations… two quite characterful names, both of which are unusual and of kind of the same style/tone, put together. If you love [name]Rosa[/name] then [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Rosa[/name] Churchyard sounds beautiful to me. Very fresh.

I think both first names would be lovely with your girls. Would you consider a different nickname for [name]Gloria[/name]? [name]Lori[/name] is just so disappointingly conventional for such a gorgeous, striking name. Glo is the nickname I love- is it too ‘out there’?

[name]Hope[/name] the search is going well- where are you posting from, out of interest?

I voted for [name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] -it’s beautiful… but then I looked up the meaning of [name]Rosamund[/name] and was disappointed. [name]Mabel[/name] has a much nicer meaning: “lovable”. However, I still really like [name]Floss[/name], [name]Dolly[/name] & [name]Rosa[/name] together. I really like the pp’s suggestion of [name]Mable[/name] [name]Rosa[/name].

I actually love all the names. [name]Rosamund[/name] is beautiful, and [name]Gloria[/name] is a lovely, underused name. Of course when it comes to picking a name with the same feel as your other daughters, I would go with [name]Mabel[/name].

Hopefully you are able to decide on the name.
