Rose is one of those names that I should like, but I never have. It has never grown on me. I do love Rosa though.

I prefer Rose.

I like both, but still prefer Rose. Rose is very popular as a mn, but for a fn I think it would be lovely.

Rosa has grown on me these days, but I still definitely prefer Rose. It's so sweet, simple, and elegant all at once.

Rosa...

I think it's so pretty and I like that it is Spanish in origin. Rose just seems a little boring to me and overused (especially as a middle name!) :S

I love Rosa! It just has something extra to it rather than just Rose which I find too short/simple for a first name but it is also too overused as a middle name. Last year I chose my little sister's middle name and I picked Rosa.

Rose for me.

As I have an Hispanic background, I know/know of lots of women/girls called Rosa, so Rose is more refreshing to my ears.

I think I prefer Rose, but both are lovely and would make fantastic choices!

I think I prefer Rose, but Rosa is undeniably lovely (and inexcusably unappreciated).

I've always dislike Rose, Rosa's marginally better.

I've preferred Rosa over Rose for as long as I can remember, even way before I had ever been to Spain or spoken a word of Spanish.
I think Rosa is lovely!

This is a tough contest. While i prefer Rose, Rosa brings to mind Rosa Parks, which is a good thing.

I'll go with Rose, based on preferance alone.

Rosa, for the same reason that you said, it has a fresh feminine sound to it

I have to give the nod to Rosa, just because it isn't as popular as Rose. I don't know why, either. It's the only time that I can think where the one syllable variant is doing better than a two syllable one. (Well, maybe Jade / Jada.)

But Rose has one great advantage. Being one syllable, you can have so much more fun with a long-ish mn. Tough call.

Rosa, today. I think Rosa is a bit more vibrant than Rose.
