Rosalie when I've already got a Jacob

[JellyBeansHaveNoAgeLimit]

We named our son Jacob as we liked the name even though twilight was pretty popular at the time. He's nearly 2 now & we haven't had anyone ask if he was named after the twilight character thankfully!

However I am now 23 weeks pregnant & thinking of Rosalie if its a girl. Would that be going a step too far? Its the only name DH have agreed with so far!

Yes!

I love both names.

I loved Twilight!

But definitely don't use the two names together!

They weren't a couple, or even in the same family.

And it's not exactly guaranteed to become a classic.

As I've never read or seen Twilight I had no idea there was a connection between the names. Both are lovely names though, I'd go for it.

Will many people make the connection?

I've read the books and seen the films and I don't think it's too much. It's not like you're calling her Renesme! If it concerns you, how about Rosa? Gorgeous name.

I think Jacob is so popular it's not that strongly linked to twilight. I can think of quite a few Jacobs I know.

Rosalie i've only ever heard from twilight - with a Jacob as well I would think you are a massive fan and think it was a bit to call both your kids names from it..

Lovely names. I don't know Twilight so wouldn't make the connection.

Both lovely names. Tbh I think Twilight will die a death - I teach teenagers and they haven't been reading it anywhere near as much lately. And it's never going to be a school text or anything that will give it proper legs. Go for it, I reckon!

They're lovely names and I don't think people will make the connection. Who remembers the names of the characters in 'Love Story' or 'Annie Hall'?

well I guess we all know the name of one character in 'Annie Hall'

I've read the books and seen the films, and wouldn't have made the connection. It's not like Edward and Bella, or Ron and Hermione, or similar.

Lovely names!

I've read the books, watched the films, and clicked on this thread because I couldn't work out why Jacob and rosalie together could possibly be a problem!

It wouldn't occur to me to even think of the books, so I really wouldn't worry about it.

I've read the books, watched the films.... Didn't make the connection either!

I'm sure you will be fine.

Love Twilight, didn't make the connection when I read the title of your post! I clicked through to see what the problem was!
I doubt there are many that would make the connection. Both lovely names

i have read the books and seen the films and i didnt make the connection

Would you consider Rosalind or Rosamund instead?

I meant the connection but I wouldn't think it would be odd.

*made

Think the general consensus is go for it then! Only trouble is, Dh has told me he doesn't like the spelling & wants to spell it Rosalea which i don't like

I think twilight was a fad.
I wouldn't do personally as I've only ever hear rosalie in twilight but if you really love the name then do it. People might remember Jacob Edward and Bella in 5 years time but rosalie will be totally forgotten unless you've read the books recently.

I wouldn't bat an eye lid at Jacob and jasper or Jacob and Alice (other characters).

other spellings, Rosalea, Rosaleigh, rosalee, rosaly. though I totally agree that rosalie would be the best spelling.

Rosa- Leigh or Lee might help get around the twilight thing?

I love Rosalie too. It's a popular traveller name.

I really would'nt worry

It reminds me of the cockney slang for cuppa tea. Nice name but I couldn't use it because of that.

I was a HUGE Twilight fan but I didn't put that together.

I think it's fine.

I know a Jacob and sister Romilly if you want something similar
