Rosa

I, suddenly, am quite taken with Rosa. I like it paired with a French or Greek middle name. I like the compact quality of it, combined with the fact that it seems ripe for revival.

I think Rosa is lovely. I've always liked it better than Rose, although I've known lots of people called Rose so that's probably why. (I just mean I wouldn't want to name a child Rose for that reason.)

I love the combos Rosa Catherine, Rosa Genevieve, Rosa Penelope, Rosa Blythe and Rosa Vivienne. Also:
Rosa Lucy
Rosa Valerie
Rosa Elise
Rosa Eleanor
Rosa Juliet
Rosa Margot
Rosa Beatrix
Rosa Helena
Rosa Iris
Rosa Elodie
Rosa Sylvia

I think it's lovely. I know a very cool, pretty and intelligent Rosa (who studies at Oxford). I don't know why it's not used more often.

I love Rosa, especially Rosa Blythe!

Definitely ready for revival. I think it's going to become massive, in the UK anyway.

A friend's lovely daughter is Rosa Jane with a four-letter surname: I love the balance and it's made the name grow on me.
Gorgeous.

I always did like Rosa. I think it needs a more simple, less flowery middle name than most of yours, though Rosa Lucille is very nice.

Rosa Maria
Rosa Kay
Rosa Joy
