Roseanna or Rosie?

Roseanna. It gives her more options.
Congratulations

My DH thinks I wrote this thread as I have been suggesting Roseanna nn Rosie!

Also not sure on the preferred spelling as I want it to be pronounced Rose-anna, not Ros-anna or Ros-arna. Roseanna is pretty hard to mispronounce though, so maybe that's the best choice, I hadn't considered that. As we have a long surname, I was toying with Rosana but that definitely could be pronounced a few different ways. DH is concerned because our local Indian restaurant is Roz-Ana (which translates as "come everyday" - we have Indian heritage) 😂

I prefer Rosanna to Rosie on it's own, and you're right you could use them interchangeably. However if you don't like the spelling won't it really bug you?
Also if you go for Roseanna then if the child doesn't like Rosie, they have other nn options like Rose, Rosa or Anna.

Of the two names Roseanna definitely! As previous poster said Rosie might not be her cup of tea when she reaches 40+

Congratulations

Rose and Rosie while she is little. It will be a nightmare having a name like Rosanna spelt differently. It will drive her and you nuts when everyone gets it wrong!

Lonely name btw

Roseanna. Or do you like Rosalia?

Oh, I do always have to spell my full name to people though. And there was never anything in gift shops with my name on it as a kid.

People actually used to mangle my name all the time as a child 'Roseyanna', 'Roseanne'. 'Rosina'. Drove my dad mad, especially as it's literally said how it looks and spelled how it sounds!

I think that as more unusual or names from other cultures have become more common in the UK, we've got a bit better at checking on names and pronunciation etc. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. Most people will only have to be corrected once if they get it wrong.

My name is Roseanna! And I shorten it to Rosie. Always have. Some people call me Rose but more as a shortening of Rosie if that makes sense.

This thread has excited me more than it should!

Roseanna.

Rosie works on people aged 0-11. After that it gets very twee. I would hate to be called Rosie as an adult. Of course your daughter might love it but just in case she doesn't Roseanna seems like a sensible plan.

Rosie.

I love just Rosie.

Roseanna is outdated, IMO.

I know a Rosie who's in her 50s. Her name is Rose, but she's only ever called Rosie. Doesn't seem to have done her any harm.

I know grown ups called Rosie in very 'respectable' jobs so think it's not just a young girl's name. I like Roseanna too though and think the spelling with an e is important to stop it being said 'Roz Anna'.

Roseanna, but Rosanna is much nicer.

Go with Roseanna. Yeah she might need to correct the spelling, but my name is 4 letters and spelled phonetically and even I need to correct it sometimes.

I really like just Rosie. I think it's lovely and sweet, and would suit any age. Congratulations!

Congrats!
One of my closest friends name is 'Rozeanne' Everyone except her mum knows her as 'Rozie' she also get 'Roz' from some people and I often refer to her as 'Roze'
I know the 'Z' spelling is she likes it tho

Roseanna definitely. It's lovely and I like Rosie as a nn for a child, not that much on a grown woman personally.

I like Rosalie even better though. It's one of my fave girl names.

Roseanna, with Rosie as a diminutive form.

I also really like Rosanna :)

What about Rosalba, Rosalva, Rosalie, Rosaline, Rosanne, Rosemarie, Rosemary, Roslin, Rosabelle, Rosette...?
Sorry, but I personally just really dislike the name Rosie for the bc.

Out of the two definitely Roseanna (but what's wrong with Rosanna spelling?) You can easily get Rosie as a nickname out of it, and it gives her more options. Rosie might possibly seem a bit childish or over casual as a formal name when she is an adult. Although I do know there are well known adult Rosies, eg Rosie Boycott the journalist.

PS Just looked her up, apparently her real name is Rosel, not heard of that one before!

Rosanna is one of my favourite names' with or without the 'e'.
Nick named Rosie.

I love Rosanna but would worry about having an unusual spelling by by adding the 'e'. Seems like it would just be annoying in later life?

I prefer Rosa or Roseanne or even Roisin.
Roseanna is very frilly and Rosie too cutesy (sorry).

Definitely Roseanna with Rosie for short. Our ds has a long name but has been known by a short version from day 1. I can see him growing into a slightly different nn when he is older though, so the long name gives him options.

I know a RoseAnne. I think the extra capital in the middle would get annoying but she seems to cope (I think I am trying to say not to worry about the usual / not usual spelling).

Congratulations

Sorry I meant Roseanna
