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 heard someone call a child rosie today and thought To myself at the time rosalie would be a lovely name.

But after coming on the thread to write rosalie, im loving primrose. Ive taught a primrose before. Lovely girl.

Rosalia

Go for Rosie. It is a great name on its own. It is such a pain having a "proper" name that you aren't known by. Rosie is lovely! And these days I think it passes the "professional role" test.

I think Rosa is nice. Rosalie always reminds me of a Cath Kidston fabric.

I hadn't heard of Rosalie before this thread but its lovely

Rosalie

I had the same, wanting a "Full" name on the birth cert. DD is Rosalie, known as Rosie/Rose. Interestingly she is 6 and always introduce herself by her full name!

I think Rosalie is a flexible name with the more serious classic nickname of Rose and the more playful Rosie, so depending on where life takes her it will suit.

Rosalie is my favourite though

TheJoxter · 06/01/2020 22:51

Rosalie, Rosemary, Rosalind, Rosamund

Tillygetsit · 06/01/2020 22:48

I wanted to call my first dd Rosanna. Exh didnt like it so we compromised. Still a bit wistful. That's my fave by a country mile.

I love Rosalie and Primrose. I also really like Rosy rather than Rosie.

Rosalie gets my vote!

I love Rosalie. Hubby wouldn’t let me have it Hmm

Echobelly · 06/01/2020 21:34

Rosamund or Rosalind are both nice - the latter is a good Shakespeare reference and a bit unusual.

Glittercandle · 06/01/2020 21:32

I love Primrose and Rose - not so keen on the other longer Rose names.

NellyTimes · 06/01/2020 21:25

Rosanne is lovely

clippityclop · 06/01/2020 21:21
