We have a Louisa and love it, it's been hard to find something we love as much.

Thank you all for the feedback!


OP, in case you want another option, my grandmother and her sisters were Alice, Louisa and Cora.

All three are fine, I just don't like Caroline as much, find it a bit too popular, and don't like that it can be pronounced two different ways.

That said, surname matters! Weird that you won't give any hints.


Pronounced two different ways in this country? This is news to me.


Yes, I personally know Carolines that pronounce it "-line" and "-lynne". Happy to provide the news; support my Patreon to keep local journalism alive.


You have friends that are pronouncing their names wrong.

That’s abnormal though, considering that Carolyn is an actual name.


Yep, the vast majority of Carolines pronounce it -line.

Love Alice and Caroline but both are very popular in this area. I don't care for Rose. It seems less strong/capable and more frilly, I guess?

All are ugly and make me think of heavy metal/ hair bands.

They sound dated.

I am a Rose and I love it. I also love Caroline. Alice, not as much.

Rose is used a lot especially with people that want to have a super feminine daughter.
