Rose, Rosie or Rosa?!

[musicmummytobe]

I love all three variations on this name - think Rose is very elegant and Rosa is slightly more unusual. My favourite is Rosie, especially with our surname as it has two syllables and ends in 'ey' too so think it fits well but know it is very popular at the mo...any thoughts on which you prefer? Thanks

Rosa is lovely

I like Rosanna, Rosalie and Roselle - gives you the option to swap and change nn as you want! :)

But of your choices, it would have to be Rosie. (Or even Rosy to be different)

Rosa, for sure.

Thanks for the suggestions @abitasleep - they are lovely!

Yeah I do love Rosa - hmm, back to the drawing board! X

I vote Rose...classic and elegant and the other variations can be pet names if Rose is a little to grand whilst she is small.

My friend has a Rosella, nn Rosie. (It's an Australian parrot too, just so you know)

How about Rosalie? my SiL is Rosemary and she is always known as Rose.

Rosa!! By a mile.

Rose is old and staid, and Rosie a bit twee and cutesie.

Rosa is pure elegance.

Not Rosie. Someone at work calls herself Rosey (not even her given name) and it's tragic as she is not cute in anyway and it doesn't come across very professional. However, I do know a lovely Rosie that works in a more creative industry and her name suits her. Give baby Rose/Rosa/Rosalind and then shorten to whatever you want.

Thanks everyone

Rosa is my favourite.

You can use Rosie as a nn.
