DC3 is due in 4 weeks. Lucy or Rosa? Middle name will probably be Jean.

I have a Rose....I love Lucy Jean though. I think they sound beautiful together.

I like both, though probably slightly prefer Rosa. I find Lucy a bit plain. A US friend just called her little one Lucille, which I love! (though know it probably wouldn't work as well over here).

Both good names - I think Rosa has the slight edge.

Both lovely. But I'd choose Lucy, as I personally prefer Rosa as short for Rosamund

Love Lucy so much. If I have another girl she will be Lucy or Lucia.

Rosa. Beautiful elegant and timeless. Lucy is pretty but perhaps a bit more girly. Congratulations!

Rosa Jean.
Rosalind was one of my top choice girls names, and would have been Rosa for short, not Ros.

Definitely Rosa. I love that name, although Lucy is nice too.

I like both names but prefer Rosa as I know five Lucys but only one Rosa.

Love both, but with Jean I'd go for Lucy. Rosa Jean sounds a bit like a song

Love them both. My dd has one of them and the other would be on my list for a subsequent dd.

I have a Rosa Grin It's a lovely name, we've had nothing but positive comments about it Smile We did have Lucy at the top of our list too, but it just didn't feel right once she was here Smile
