I love Willa! I also like Cicely but the spelling looks off. The rest of them are NMS.
*Edit: Yep, I looked it up. Traditional spelling for "Cicely" is "Cecily." Pronounced "Sess-ily" while I think "Cicely" would be pronounced "siss-elly." So I guess it depends on what pronunciation you're going for.

NMS except for Cecily or maybe Beatrix. Having lobbied to have my younger sister named after Kermit the Frog though, then my childhood BFF call her new little bro "Amanda" for a year while she processed that she wasn't getting a little sister, I'm not really a fan of siblings having a say in/choosing new babies' names.

...no thanks to my PCOS (Dx 2006,though should've been dx during maybe the Clinton years).
P/SAIF always welcome, especially if you share your sticky baby dust!

Honestly, not crazy about any of them. They are all a bit too "unique" for my taste. But if I were to pick one, it's probably be Adelaide. Tamsin is pretty, but is too unusual for my taste.
I just think they are all unusual enough where she will constantly be re-saying and/or having to spell her name for lots of people.
Adelaide is a gorgeous name. I have a cousin named Adelaide, who was named after someone else in our family (don't remember who)...so I'm a little biased.
Personally, I love the old-fashioned names that you don't hear as much anymore. I named my DD Charlotte, which I think is very Southern old-fashioned, and I have some friends who have named their little girls June, Helen, etc. LOVE that. Rose fits squarely in that category, too.

That's not unique to unusual names... My sister Katie (Kathleen) has the same problem!

I am partial to the middle name Rose . It is a family tradition to give all the first born daughter's my great-grandmother's name as the middle name.I am a Rose as well as my eldest daughter.I like Thea and Cicely. Pretty and unique. Tamsin is very similar to my name Tamara.

Our family is complete!
I love Rose.
The first names really aren't my style- but whatever you pick I am sure will be perfect for the new one!
All NMS except Willa. I like that. It reminds me of Willow which is one of my favorite girl names.

My fav is Beatrix Rose. All are very unique!
Willa is one of my guilty pleasure names and I don't know if I ever brought it up to DH this last time around (shoot!), so that would get my vote!
This. I think Rose makes a great middle name though.

Of the ones you posted, Adelaide is my favorite. Willa and Cicely are ok and the rest are just NMS.
I love Rose as a middle name. That was going to be Ben's MN if he was a girl.
