When I say Rosalie, you think.....?

[Lucaslovesfelicity]

30 weeks here and STILL pondering potential girls names. DH has suggested this name to me, with the shortening of Rose/Rosa. He just loves the old Thin Lizzy song he tells me We can't use Rose/Rosa on its own, due to it not going at all with our surname. So what are your thoughts please on Rosalie?

Love it, and all the nn potential - Rosa, Rosie.

Would have used this for DD did we not have so many Rose's already in the family.

I quite like it. It's a bit flowery for me, but perfectly nice. It doesn't really make me think of anything specific (haven't seen twilight). Don't love it, don't hate it.

Roseanne and Rosanna make me think of

Beautiful name, love it.

Yes there is a Twilight connotation but quite honestly many haven't seen it. Rosalie's back story in Twilight is utterly tragic as she was living a perfect life until she died which explains her envy if Bella's life. Totally off topic.....

It's a beautiful name.

My MIL!

It makes me think of a cup of tea (my gran always used to call it "Rosie lee") but I think that's just me. I didn't think of Twilight so I would ignore that

i think tea.
my dad always asks if i want a cup of Rosalie?
i think its ok for a name but prefer Rosey,

It makes me think of an old lady!
Dont watch twilight or sci fi so wouldnt mean anything to me in that front!

If you plan to shorten to Rose then surely Rosanna is an option even with an Anna in the family?

Beautiful name, very pretty but not too 'popular' so shouldn't date, plus short versions are nice too.

I think 'ooh, lovely'. And 'why don't people use that more?!'

It's a lovely name.
Does make me think of twilight, but in a good way. I loved Twilight

Lovely name.

Grimm the TV series. Actress is very pretty and the character is lovely. For a fuchsbau.

I love it. It makes me think of a tall lass with long curly hair dancing barefoot in fields with flowers in her hair and travelling around country lanes in a proper wooden caravan with a painted door.

In other words I think it is a very romantic and indeed!

... that I like Rosalind or Rosemary better.

I guess it sounds a bit hill-billy to me: Rosa-Lee.
Whatever you call her she'll make her own.

I love it. My name is Rose but I get called Rosey Lee, which is pretty much Rosalie!

I think of Rosalie Aprile.

So a middle aged Mafia wife with a 40a day gravel voice and big hair.

But clearly I'm on my own on this thread so pay no attention .

Makes me think of fortune tellers on Blackpool pier, there was always a 'gypsy Rosalie' when I was a kid in the 80's

I have a Rosetta which also gives the option of Etta. I quite like the language/space link too.

Meh.

It's a bit twee, but inoffensive enough.

I have a Rosetta which also gives the option of Etta. I quite like the language/space link too.

Oh my, Rosetta is divine!!

I thought 'Rosalie Dene' from the Chalet School, and was then a bit in awe of myself for remembering her full name even though I haven't read a Chalet School book in yonks.

I think of the character in Mr Selfridge. I like the name

twilight and grimm. Love the name

Love that name. Never seen any of those programs but even if I had, so what? Someone suggested Rosetta which is also a fab name. Xx
