Any other name
Since before the birth of my last child (a son) I had decided my daughter was going to be called Rose. I had always like the flower names - daisy, lily, Iris but the only one that didnt seem too frilly and twee or really old-lady-ish was Rose. Now I know I am having a girl. I am keeping this to myself (well, husband knows) but looking forward to delighting everyone when she comes along, as we are an all boy family - well, all boy grandchildren and no more likely.....But a few things have happened lately that have made me wobble on the name. People I know keep calling their pets Rose or Rosy (a likely pet name should we have a Rose) and then, just the other day someone mentioned Rose West. That has really put the wobble on, why would I want to name a child after such a horrendous person? But the other options, well I like Maura and Ellen, but husband does not, which kinda nixes them. So is it back to the drawing board? Eva, Evie, Edie, Isabella - none of these really jump out at me. Am I going to have to start reading baby name books for girls???? Yeuch. Oh, well we have another 4 months so lets just see.....
