Okay, after a lot of sarcasm good-natured debate, DH and I have finally found a girl's name we love, Rosalind, to be shortened to Rosa or Rosie while she is tiny.

If she is a girl, that is. Clearly it might need a rethink if we have a boy.

Our children have two middle names, family tradition, so this baby would be:

Rosalind Something Jill Surname (1 syllable). Jill is staying as it was my late mother's name. Surname begins with N.

Help us think of a replacement for Something?

I love Rosalind, it's dd2's name :). I know an adult Rosalind who has been Rosie all her life. It's unlikely she'd go back to Rosalind if you've always called her Rosa or Rosie. But then if you stick with the full name, as we have, you won't be able to stop people calling her Ros.

DD2 is Rosalind Olivia :)

Love Rosalind. Stop people calling her Roz though - only downside.

Very pretty name.

For "Something" how about Elizabeth, Amelia, Sophia?

I think Rosalind is a lovely name!

Are there any good family names on DH's side?

Some possibilities for "something": Mary, Sarah, Clara, Sadie?
