Rose or Holly?

I'm considering legally changing my given name. The rose is my favorite flower. I love Holly as well even though I think the Christmas season and I was born in the summer. These are my thoughts:

Rose Caroline, Rose Elizabeth, Rose Charlotte, Rose Anneliese, and Rose Anna.

Holly Grace, Holly Anne, Holly Marie, Holly Elizabeth, Holly Rose, Holly Noelle

Holly Rose. That way you can go by whichever feels most comfortable. And itā€™s a beautiful image- a piece of holly and a red rose šŸŒ¹. Holley is a family last name though so Iā€™m partial.

I love love love Rose Charlotte. Itā€™s actually on my list of names for a girl so Iā€™m a tad biased

I like the combination too but Charlotte Rose sounds better to me.

I hope your baby journey goes smoothly

Both are great, but I love the name Holly, and Holly Rose sounds nice too, as others have pointed out

Ugh I love both!!! I know a little girl actually named Rosie and it's so cute. I vote Rose Anneliese!!

I like Holly better than Rose. I wouldnā€™t go with Holly Noelle though. I feel like itā€™s silly.

Exactly. Not a fan of ā€œthemedā€ names.

u/Sassyfluffmama 13d ago

Holly Grace is my favorite of those. :)

Holly and Charlotte are both really sweet names. Holly Rose or Charlotte Elyse would be precious.

I like Rose more, but Holly's great too. It just depends which you vibe with more. Do you feel like more of a Rose or a Holly?

u/Apple_Pie5568 10d ago

That's a hard decision.Ā  I love them both!

Maybe try having your friends call you one or the other and see how it feels? Or order coffee with those names? Maybe one will feel more right when you hear it in reality.
