Rosa or Rosalie?

[Eversoslowly]

Which do you prefer as a sister for Edmund, and why? Need help deciding.
Middle name suggestions very welcome too.

Thank you!

I like Rosalie better, I think the "ee" should gives a more definite end to the name, but that's just my opinion.

They're both nice names.

Sound not should!

Rosalie - she can still be Rosa for short, I like a 'Sunday name'! Both lovely choices though.

We have a Rosa Alice, and I love the simplicity of Rosa, but they are both lovely names. I also think Rosa is strong enough for a "Sunday" name, but then I would! :)

They're both nice but I think Rosalie is especially lovely - and can still be shortened to Rosa if she wants.

Definitely Rosa. I don't like Rosalie at all, it's a bit dowdy imo. Rosa is beautiful.

Both nice but prefer Rosa - seems stronger without the 'lie' ending, which somehow diminishes it for me. Rosa is just beautiful - simple, elegant and feminine without being girly.

I prefer Rosa. We have a Rosetta to gives lots of nn options. I think I prefer Rosa because I get a little caught up with all the 'e' sounds next to each other saying Rosalie and Edmund.

Rosa.

I don't dislike Rosalie. It depends on the surname somewhat, but using Edmund as a guide, I favour Rosa.

Prefer Rosa, I know one aged 2. Roseanne is even nicer IMO.
Too many ie ending names about, would avoid Rosalie.

I prefer Rosalie...not that it is one of your options but Rosamund is probably my favourite...

Prefer the elegance of Rosa.

Both lovely names, but I prefer Rosalie, especially as this gives you the option to shorten it to Rosa.

Rosalie sounds more finished off. Rose or Rosa can be for shortening.

Rosa. Rosalie sounds clunky to me.

I've always really liked Rosalie, and as others have said upthread, you could always shorten it to Rosa. So I vote for Rosalie.

Oh, and as for middle names... Rosalie Grace was my first thought, or how about Rosalie Fleur, Rosalie Claire, Rosalie June, Rosalie Eve? I think it goes well with a shorter middle name.

Love both and Rosalind,Rosanna, Rosanne love all rose names
Rosa/lie Sophia
Rosa Vivienne
Rosa Juliet
Rosa Suzanne/a
Rosa Christine/a
Rosa Emmeline
Rosa felicity

I prefer Rosa to Rosalie. even better I love Rosalind or Rosanna nn Rosa.
I'm never sure how to pn Rosalie- have you considered that? Is it Rose-a-lee or Roz-a-lee? Or a -lie not -lee ending? Might cause confusion

The ones I've met have all been Roz-a-lee.

The one I know is Rose-a-LEE, emphasis on the last syllable.

blue wisteria, Rosetta is lovely.

I prefer Rosa to Rosalie, it's so classic and pretty. Both are nice though.

I like Rosalie best, it seems a more "grown up" name with a bit of sparkle and shine to it.
I also like Rosalind very much.
