Rosalie?

[weechops]

We found out this week that baby number 4 is a girl already have dd, ds1 & ds2 so we're evened up a bit now!
What does everyone think of Rosalie? My only concern is that she'd get Rosie for short which I'm not too keen on, but I love Rose. We're Scottish if that helps imagining the accent 😂

Conjures up an image of a fortune telling traveler/gypsy for me. Sorry! Congrats though

[Pemba]

Pretty

[Just5minswithDacre]

Gorgeous, floral and traditional but with slightly hippy/boho undertones. Feminine but not overly frilly. Works for woman and girl.

I love it

[weechops]

😂 ha that made me laugh SlinkyB I'm into a bit of woo and stuff so not such a bad connotation. Thanks

[Skiver123]

Reminds me of a cleaner on American TV. They're always called Rosa 😂

[SlinkyB]

Glad I didn't offend! Seriously though, if you're not keen on Rosie then I'd steer clear, just in case.

Though I have a perfectly shorten-able (yes, that's a word now) ten letter name which has never been shortened, thanks to my scary Mum who wouldn't allow it!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Nice name, but. If you don't like Rosie. Avoid

[MrsGsnow18]

There was a Rosalie in Twilight and they called her Rose for short so it def works as a NN.

[CurlyMoo]

There is a Cath Kidston type bedding range in Ikea called Rosalie that I love, so the name is a hit for me I might add it to my list for unlikely future babies

[MrsGsnow18]

Also awesome Thin Lizzy song!

[RiverTam]

Rosalie is a lovely name. Of course you can use it without liking Rosie.

[CurlyMoo]

Although is people tended to pronounce it Rosa-Lee I wouldn't like it.

[Christine88]

Such a pretty name!

[123beanie]

Love it!!

[Christine88]

Also on the shortening names bit I loved the name Vincent but hate vince or vinnie so we avoided it. Wish we hadn't as we went for Rupert thinking it wouldn't be shortened and people are constantly calling him Roo or Roops....which I hate!!!

[Ditsy4]

I know someone called Rosalie. I think it's a pretty name. She never gets it shortened.

[Northernlurker]

I like it. I have a Rosalind and NOBODY calls her Rosie.
We do call her Rozzie though but it's a very different sound.

[weechops]

Thanks everyone. I think it's the one really. On the shorten-ability (!) One of my boys is a Zachary and he's never been shortened to Zac. Yet. He's not at school yet

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

What if she wants to be known as Rosie, though. Would you be okay with that. Well you couldn't stop her really. It's her name.

[ImperialBlether]

Rosie is a lovely name! And she will be called it, you know that.

[weechops]

Yeah I'd be ok with that. I don't hate Rosie, just prefer Rose if it had to have a shortening. But my toddler Zachary (who is the only one who actually calls himself Zac) has been cooing 'awww baby Rosie' and it sounds super cute!

[SeashellHoarder]

Lovely name. I think you will get Rosie, but I love that too!

[Frazzled2207]

Nice. The only one I know goes by Rosie though. I also know two Rosas, both of which are Rosa not Rosie.

[LuckySantangelo1]

Were you a Twilught fan perchance? That's my only experience of this name.
