Honest Opinions Please..... Roselyn and Harriette

[MummyGeorgie]

So far this is all I have managed to come up with and wondered how the names sounded to you girls?

Any suggestion very welcome!!

We are looking for something pretty, fairly 'solid' and not too common...

Thanks in advance!

Some people use an alternative spelling of Roselyn. I seem to recall that there was a character in Shakespeare called Rosalyn. Or was it Rosalind?

Prefer roselyn (I expect nn would be Ros). Like Harriet, when spelt Harriet.

Lucinda, now I have seen your post I prefer Rosalind to Roselyn.

The only other thing you have to consider is whether the abbreviated name Rosy would go with her second name. For example if your second name is Leigh or Lee then that combination "Rosy Lee" is rhyming slang for cup of tea.

Yes, Rosalind is quite a rare name.

Harriet.

I like Harriet and also Rosalind.

Harriet spelt this way. i have a very good friend called Rosalind which I love.

Prefer Rosalind, and love Romy, Rosina, Rowena.

I love them both, they were both suggestions for DD2 but as DD1 is Ainslie, Harriet was ruled out.

Roselyn was in our top 3 all the way through.

It's a lovely name and I live Rose/Rosie for child and then Roz for when they are older.

I like Harriet - Rosalind is nice but agree Rosie is popular at the moment so it depends if you are concerened about that?

Roselyn is gorgeous. I've never met one. I agree about the pronounciation though: I would say it Rose-lynne rather than Rozlin.

I don't like Harriette. It's a bit poncey.
