(no,make that Love actually) Rozalie Aurora Sales for my DD.

I like it alot,

I haven't worked up the courage to say it to DH as he will just go 'meh' like with the other 4,000 names I have mentioned.

DS is still calling the baby Lydia even though we haven't called her that for weeks,

think it might stick.

Lydia is much nicer...not keen on Aurora AND Rozalie together - bit much, like eating chocolate fudge cake and then a whole box of Quality Street.

I'd spell it Rosalie and pronounce Roz -a -lee as well. The z spelling does look a little odd. Lovely name

If you want to avoid the rose pronunication you could go for Rosalind?

I think someone mentioned before that your boys names sound quite American. Have you tried any American websites for girls names?

I have an American friend (girl) called Kyle and her sister is Kendall

was trying it out today for you (up with newborn so bored) and FWiW I really like it... Rosalie Aurora Sales. And Rosalie should be pron. Roz-a-lee, shouldn't it? (like Rosalind/Rosaline)

Well I have been trying it out ... ... saying 'Rosalie is kicking' and stuff but it doesn't flow out like Lydia does, but I think thats because I can't decide whether its Rosa-lee or Rosalie.

I'm going to try Rozalee today (but spelt Rosalie) and see how I feel leter and ask DH!

Yes, I think that Rozalie should be spelt Rosalie. More classic looking and I don't think it would make me say it any different. For instance, my middle name is EliSabeth but it is said exactly the same as EliZabeth iyswim.

tortoiseSHELL · 21/08/2008 22:28

Definitely Rosalie is much prettier. Rozalie reminds me of Godzilla for some reason, whereas Rosalie is more flowery and gypsy like.

reginaphilangy · 21/08/2008 22:23

Much prefer it spelt Rosalie. And i would pronounced it Roz-a-lee based on that spelling too.

Its a lovely name

Umlellala · 21/08/2008 20:40

Disenchanted,
love Lydia. Love Arianna.
Rozalie to me looks wrong as I would want to say Rose-a-lee or Roz-a-lye (don't know why) but think the sound of it (Roz-a-lee) is luvver-ly. Roz is cool!

DisenchantedPlusBump · 21/08/2008 20:29

She would NOT be called Roz

MrsMattie · 21/08/2008 20:27

Ok, I get you@Disenchanted. I think you might struggle with getting people to pronounce it properly, to be honest, although if you really love it, who cares?

DisenchantedPlusBump · 21/08/2008 20:25

Its on baby name sites, not that the fact gives it much credentials! Theres some very odd names on some of them. lol

Its just listed as a varient of 'Rose' or 'Rosalie'

See but YOU would say 'Rose-a-lie' Mrsmattie, but i like the roZalie sounds, not rosealie.

But prefer the look of Rosalie, but with more of a zzz
