Rosalie?

I originally posted asking for advice on Miranda, Beatrice or Leila. Someone replied saying they had daughters with two of those names and another called Rosalind. Whilst Rosalind is lovely, I think I would end up calling her Lindy but it set me off thinking about Rosalie, which is just lovely. My husband loves it! I like Rosalie Miranda or Rosalie Leila. We have one son Emmett Levi. What do you think of Emmett and Rosalie? An issue is that our surname ends in -ley. What does Rosalie -ley sound like to you? If you want our surname PM me. Thanks guys!

You don't sound hysterical, don't worry! It's a lovely name, it just makes me think of that series 🙂

If it doesn't matter to you then of course it doesnt matter. They're both lovely names.

I did miss the bit in your OP where you mentioned your surname ends in -ley. If it has same number of syllables it could sound a bit too rhymey. I always think people with rhyming first and second names sound like they're out of children's books

Beautiful name! I love it too. I did not make the Twilight connection at all

I know @LottieL, I'm sorry for sounding a bit hysterical.

Never seen or read Twilight, and it's still the first thing I think of.

I thought of a song by Thin Lizzy (shows age and backs away). Nice name, not sure how it would go with your surname though.

LottieL · 03/03/2017 20:28

It's up to you obviously but that was my first, and how weird it would be to name siblings after a couple in literature (no matter how crap the series is!) 🙂 If you like it, go for it! Just maybe be aware that people may ask.

Well we haven't all read/seen twilight! I like the name.

Twilight was first thing I thought of

Damn it, I thought the hype would have died out by now. Does it really matter, really? It's the only name I truly love.

I love Rosalie - gorgeous name. Not sure it will work with your surname though Confused

LottieL · 03/03/2017 20:25

And to add I'm not a fan of the books / films but remembered the name association from when there was a lot of hype. I wonder if others may make the connection too.

Emmett and Rosalie are a couple in twilight. If I heard both names together I'd assume that was your reason for choosing them!

LottieL · 03/03/2017 20:22

Rosalie and Emmett are a couple from the Twilight series of books aren't they? I'd avoid it for that reason alone!
