We have chosen Rosa as our girl's name (I'm 37 weeks) because we both love it.
For a middle name we're torn between Hope and Aurelia.
A bit of background - this baby was over five years in the making and we had been told that there was almost no chance I woud ever conceive. It has not been an easy time and remaining hopeful and positive has been very important. My husband also says that my optimisim, resilience and ability to remain happy is something he values and admires greatly. If I could give my child one thing, it would be hope - hence the name choice.
Aurelia, on the other hand, is just a name we both love and think is utterly beautiful. It has no special association or meaning, but it is so lovely.
We're a bit worried that both names could be seen as pretentious and Hope could be taken to be a bit issue-y (we might as well call it Mummy's Little Miracle).
We don't dare try the names out in real life in case someone says something awful, so, umm, what do you all think?
Be kind, please, I'm extrememly hormonal.
