Rosalie

MentalFloss · 12/11/2010 19:42

I love love love Rosalie!

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 12/11/2010 19:44

Love Rosalie, and you could always shorten to Rosa.

LionsnTigersnBears · 12/11/2010 19:53

Rosalie!!!!

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 12/11/2010 19:58

I like both - but woould probably go for Rosa because Rosalie would probably be known as Rosie.

whoknowswhatthefutureholds · 12/11/2010 20:13

love both, I would choose Rosalie (or Rosanna) and then you can have loads of nns

FluffMacDuff · 12/11/2010 20:27

Another vote for Rosalie.

Or Rosalind

Rhubarbgarden · 13/11/2010 11:00

Rosa. But Rosalie is nice too.

diddl · 13/11/2010 12:07

Rosa.

Also like Roseline.

5DollarShake · 13/11/2010 13:26

Rosalie definitely - and can be nn'd to Rosa, so best of both worlds.

mathanxiety · 13/11/2010 20:25

Rosalie -- much more zippy and has a lovely sound.

rnbsmum · 13/11/2010 20:38

I have a Rosalyn but we tend to call her Rosie but could be a Rosa.

rnbsmum · 13/11/2010 20:39

Man there were a lot of 'buts' there!!! Sorry!!!

Horton · 13/11/2010 20:49

Rosa is LOVELY. Rosalie a bit frilly for me.

Bumperlicious · 13/11/2010 21:14

I really wanted Rosa for DD2 but DH didn't like it so we compromised on Rose. But I really like Rosa.

PMTeepee · 13/11/2010 21:32

Rosa is gorgeous. Unless you call a Rosalie Rosa from the day she is born she will be called Rose or Rosie.
Although, I like all of them- nothing to do with the fact that my name is quite similar at all at allHmm

sensiblesusannigella · 13/11/2010 21:34

I agree with Horton about Rosalie being a bit frilly. I think it might also be spelt/said wrong too. Rosa is lovely simple and classic and has options for nicknames Rose or Rosie. I also like the Rosa Parks connection

mumsgotatum · 13/11/2010 21:55

Rosalie

anonymosity · 13/11/2010 23:14

Rosalie.

WhyHavePets · 13/11/2010 23:20

Isn't Rosalie a character in Twilight?

On that basis I would avoid TBH as people will alwyas think you named her after a blond haired, cats bum mouthed vampire!

jabberwocky · 13/11/2010 23:23

How about Rosamund or Rosemary?

flopsy1974 · 15/11/2010 10:47

Rosa is gorgeous.

DandyDan · 15/11/2010 11:10

Rosalie - very pretty and snappy. There is the Twilight connection and also Company of Wolves but that's all good.

Rosa might as well be Rosie. And with Rosalie you can always shorten it to whatever you fancy.

Hedwig3 · 15/11/2010 11:17

Rosa is so beautiful with it's simple elegance, particularly among the many frilly names that are popular at the moment.

Komondor · 15/11/2010 11:22

Both lovely. Can't choose.
