Rosanna?

Hi! I can manage to think of lots of boys names that I'd like to use, but barely any girls names ☹️. Our surname is Wright (which I personally find really masculine) and so if we are having a girl then I'd like her to have a girly / feminine name. What do you think of the name Rosanna Wright? Thanks in advance 🥰

I've always loved the name Rosanna.

That's so beautiful! I've never met a Rosanna. Extra bonus - they already have an absolute tune written about them.

Gorgeous. If MIL didn't have a similar name I'd choose it myself!

I'm glad you think so. I know Chris de Burg is marmite but what a gorgeous song. 'A song for the baby that changed my life' very unmumsnetty!

Love the lyrics - I had only heard of Rosanna by Toto 😅

Its really pretty and goes well with Wright, sounds clean and feminine together

I wanted Rosanna for ds if he was a girl.

I do think it’s abit of a mouthful and a tongue twister with your surname though

Thanks for your honesty! ☺️x

I absolutely adore this name and considered it for my baby. I'm still sad I couldn't use it (for various reasons) but gave my baby the middle name 'Rose' as a consolation prize. Its gorgeous.

Crazykatie · 06/05/2022 20:42

Unanimous it’s lovely

SwimmingOnEggshells · 06/05/2022 20:41

Nice and I'm a fussy bitch!

PrettyMaybug · 06/05/2022 20:34

Sounds cute. Smile

mintich · 06/05/2022 20:33

I love it!

whoami24601 · 06/05/2022 20:32

Oh I love that! Now wishing we'd called DD that instead of the ever popular Amelia! She's 10 so think that ship may have sailed already...

Cloud16 · 06/05/2022 20:16

Love it OP! I hope you use it 😍

OneCup · 06/05/2022 19:35
