Rosalie when I've already got a Jacob

[JellyBeansHaveNoAgeLimit]

We named our son Jacob as we liked the name even though twilight was pretty popular at the time. He's nearly 2 now & we haven't had anyone ask if he was named after the twilight character thankfully!

However I am now 23 weeks pregnant & thinking of Rosalie if its a girl. Would that be going a step too far? Its the only name DH have agreed with so far!

[TheDetective]

Yes!

I love both names.

I loved Twilight!

But definitely don't use the two names together!

[Trills]

They weren't a couple, or even in the same family.

And it's not exactly guaranteed to become a classic.

[FatherSpodoKomodo]

As I've never read or seen Twilight I had no idea there was a connection between the names. Both are lovely names though, I'd go for it.

Will many people make the connection?

[nasara]

I've read the books and seen the films and I don't think it's too much. It's not like you're calling her Renesme! If it concerns you, how about Rosa? Gorgeous name.

[Chocotrekkie]

I think Jacob is so popular it's not that strongly linked to twilight. I can think of quite a few Jacobs I know.

Rosalie i've only ever heard from twilight - with a Jacob as well I would think you are a massive fan and think it was a bit to call both your kids names from it..

[Devora]

Lovely names. I don't know Twilight so wouldn't make the connection.

[LavenderCakes]

Both lovely names. Tbh I think Twilight will die a death - I teach teenagers and they haven't been reading it anywhere near as much lately. And it's never going to be a school text or anything that will give it proper legs. Go for it, I reckon!

[Helpys]

They're lovely names and I don't think people will make the connection. Who remembers the names of the characters in 'Love Story' or 'Annie Hall'?

[Helpys]

well I guess we all know the name of one character in 'Annie Hall'

[FatalCabbage]

I've read the books and seen the films, and wouldn't have made the connection. It's not like Edward and Bella, or Ron and Hermione, or similar.

Lovely names!

[Shallan]

I've read the books, watched the films, and clicked on this thread because I couldn't work out why Jacob and rosalie together could possibly be a problem!

It wouldn't occur to me to even think of the books, so I really wouldn't worry about it.

[Pebbles0934]

I've read the books, watched the films.... Didn't make the connection either!

I'm sure you will be fine.

[RAFWife12]

Love Twilight, didn't make the connection when I read the title of your post! I clicked through to see what the problem was!
I doubt there are many that would make the connection. Both lovely names

[chipsandpeas]

i have read the books and seen the films and i didnt make the connection

[CruCru]

Would you consider Rosalind or Rosamund instead?

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I meant the connection but I wouldn't think it would be odd.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

*made

[JellyBeansHaveNoAgeLimit]

Think the general consensus is go for it then! Only trouble is, Dh has told me he doesn't like the spelling & wants to spell it Rosalea which i don't like

[Alita7]

I think twilight was a fad.
I wouldn't do personally as I've only ever hear rosalie in twilight but if you really love the name then do it. People might remember Jacob Edward and Bella in 5 years time but rosalie will be totally forgotten unless you've read the books recently.

I wouldn't bat an eye lid at Jacob and jasper or Jacob and Alice (other characters).

[Alita7]

other spellings, Rosalea, Rosaleigh, rosalee, rosaly. though I totally agree that rosalie would be the best spelling.

Rosa- Leigh or Lee might help get around the twilight thing?

[KeeperOfBees]

I love Rosalie too. It's a popular traveller name.

[restandpeace]

I really would'nt worry

[BrianTheMole]

It reminds me of the cockney slang for cuppa tea. Nice name but I couldn't use it because of that.

[NickiFury]

I was a HUGE Twilight fan but I didn't put that together.

I think it's fine.

[Chillycamper]

I know a Jacob and sister Romilly if you want something similar
