Love Rosalie, and you could always shorten to Rosa.

I like both - but woould probably go for Rosa because Rosalie would probably be known as Rosie.

Rosalie definitely - and can be nn'd to Rosa, so best of both worlds.

Rosalie -- much more zippy and has a lovely sound.

I have a Rosalyn but we tend to call her Rosie but could be a Rosa.

I really wanted Rosa for DD2 but DH didn't like it so we compromised on Rose. But I really like Rosa.

Rosa is gorgeous. Unless you call a Rosalie Rosa from the day she is born she will be called Rose or Rosie.
Although, I like all of them- nothing to do with the fact that my name is quite similar at all at allHmm

I agree with Horton about Rosalie being a bit frilly. I think it might also be spelt/said wrong too. Rosa is lovely simple and classic and has options for nicknames Rose or Rosie. I also like the Rosa Parks connection

Isn't Rosalie a character in Twilight?

On that basis I would avoid TBH as people will alwyas think you named her after a blond haired, cats bum mouthed vampire!

Rosalie - very pretty and snappy. There is the Twilight connection and also Company of Wolves but that's all good.

Rosa might as well be Rosie. And with Rosalie you can always shorten it to whatever you fancy.

Rosa is so beautiful with it's simple elegance, particularly among the many frilly names that are popular at the moment.
