Best ‘Sunday name’ for a little Rosie

We would like a longer name but can’t decide so would like some suggestions in case we’ve missed any. Current front runners are Rosalie or Rosanna.

Thanks!

I like Rosalie.Flowers

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 30/01/2020 02:30

I love Rosalind or just Rose.

I like the sound of Rosalie but my family are cockney so it'd be too similar to rosie lee, meaning tea. They'd all be saying they'd love a cup of rosie!

Listen to Chris de burg Rosanna

My dsd is Rosa. Mostly called Rosie as a little one, but then when my children came along the eldest couldn’t say Rosie and she became Woody Grin. Even At work (she’s a paediatrician) she is known as Dr Woody.

I’m an adult Rosie and I’ve never had any issues with my name in a professional sense. I do get people automatically shorten it to Rose a lot which really gets on my nerves (Rose sounds old fashioned to me personally). It’s a bit more popular now but I never had anyone at school with the same name- just a lot of people naming their pets Rosie Grin. I do like the name Rosanna as a long version though.

Rosalind or Rosa are pretty names IMHO

Notso · 11/01/2020 13:31

Rose or Rosa.

What about the lovely Italian version Rosalia? Used to be very popular in the village where I grew up!

nowaypose · 08/01/2020 13:32

The Rosie’s I have met we’re just Rosie, I didn’t realise it was a diminutive.

Serin · 08/01/2020 12:07

Rose

moonsmarshmellow · 08/01/2020 00:13

Rosa is beautiful but I don’t really see the point in naming Rosa and using Rosie as a nickname as it’s not shorter or really a ‘natural’ nickname for Rosa. They are both lovely, pretty names in their own right- I don’t think Rosie needs a ‘proper’ name to be nn for.

Rosamund (rose of the world)

Rosa.

Whatsyourflava · 06/01/2020 23:52

Love Rose

GertiMJN · 06/01/2020 23:43

I like Rose as formal, Rosie informal.

I actually like Rosamund and Rosalind very much but think Rosie isn't an obvious shortening. Ros /Roz fit better / more likely in the future at school etc.
