Registering DD tomorrow and think we've narrowed it down to these 2 names.

Ooh yes, Rosalie is good for shortenings! We almost went with Rosa for one of my DDs Smile

Minty82 · 22/11/2017 09:36

Both very pretty but I've always loved Rosalie - failed to persuade DH to add it to our list! Plus you've got Rose/Rosie/Rosa as diminutives which I prefer to Ellie (while acknowledging that neither are inevitable!) or Zalie if you want to be different.

Elodie isn't necessarily shortened to Ellie! Honest! I have insider knowledge 😉

lovelyjubilly · 22/11/2017 08:51

Rosalie as I prefer Rose/Rosa to Ellie

Elodie, Rosalie makes me think dairy lea sorry!

I love Rosalie!

Elodie

BabloHoney · 21/11/2017 21:55

Is Rosalie pronounced “Roz-a-lee” or “Rosa - Lee?” Not familiar with the name (but it looks lovely written down pronounced either way!)

Rosalie

Elodie. I don't like the lee part of Rosalie

SuperBeagle · 21/11/2017 20:21

Although, have you considered Eloise? It's almost a hybrid of the two, with the "s" sound of Rosalie.

SuperBeagle · 21/11/2017 20:21

Elodie.

Not a fan of Rosalie at all.

Doubletrouble42 · 21/11/2017 20:12

Congratulations, they are both gorgeous names x maybe Elodie as the other may get shortened to Rosie and that would annoy me! X

DramaAlpaca · 21/11/2017 20:10

Rosalie, but I like Elodie too.

ChocolateCrunch · 21/11/2017 20:08

Elodie

PeachyCandle · 21/11/2017 19:26

Elodie. It was on my list of names for DD! Congrats!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/11/2017 19:25

Rosalie.

holidayqueriwifi · 21/11/2017 19:23

Rosalie. Elodie has become quite popular and Rosalie stands out more. It's a beautiful name.

Smoliver · 21/11/2017 19:22

I love both of these names! If I had to choose one though, I'd go with Rosalie.

BewareOfDragons · 21/11/2017 18:58

I prefer Elodie, but both are very pretty.

glasshalfsomething · 21/11/2017 18:23

Love Elodie

MammieBear · 21/11/2017 18:13

If your OK with Ellie as a Nn then Elodie if not Rosalie is fine.

RagamuffinCat · 21/11/2017 18:05

I prefer Rosalie but they are both beautiful!
