Hi :) we have a DD, due in March. I'm getting a bit fed up of all the popular names - I used to love them! I was looking at flower/plant names and Roselle came up - what do you think? :)

It fits DH's favourite name (Rosie - he isn't keen on Rose/Rosa) and mine! (I like Ellie/Ella)... I just really like it, so does DH :)

Is sounds like a skin cream or a brand of loo roll.

I used to know a Rozelle - I like it. :)

What about Rosanna? We've chosen it as a middle name if this baby turns out to be a girl x

I love Rosella! It's a name of a small, very pretty colourful Australian parrot- I saw one there in 2004 and have loved the name ever since, didn't quite have the guts to use it for DD and have never heard of another.

It reminds me of that illness kids get Roseola

What about Rosabel?

MitzyLeFrouf · 20/01/2016 20:19

It reminds me of Rozalla who used to sing some 'bangin' choons' in the early 90s. I can't say I'm overly keen on Roselle but if you both love it........!

I don't like it - sounds like a cleaning product.

ToriOri · 20/01/2016 20:03

Ah, I really like Rosella - I didn't even think of it :)

Roselle makes me think of scented toilet roll for some reason.

I like Rosella though.
