Thoughts on the name rosanna? We have a double barreled surname and like names that are long than can be shortened.

Thanks justhad. We have been set on it for a while but wondered others thoughts as we have kept it to ourselves this far x

I really like it.

FadedRed · 19/07/2017 19:45

I think it's a lovely name.
It was what my DM wanted to call me, but was talked out of. Wish she had.

MadisonAvenue · 19/07/2017 19:48

Really like it!

BastardBernie · 19/07/2017 19:49

I think it's a beautiful name.

MrsCaecilius · 19/07/2017 19:50

Love it! Pretty and strong, one of my favourites!

Absolutely beautiful. ❤️

Love

It's lovely. I like Ros, Rose and Rosie so shortening it wouldn't be a problem. Not that I'm saying you'd want to, it's just something to consider.

mintich · 19/07/2017 19:54

So pretty

PinkyPudding · 19/07/2017 19:57

Absolutely beautiful. Dc3 was going to be Rosie if he'd been a girl, and I love all variations of this name, it think rosanna is one of the best. It's elegant, timeless beautiful for girl or grown up.

Wenchelda · 19/07/2017 20:05

It's beautiful. Top of the list for my next hypothetical DD. With Rosa for short.

dementedma · 19/07/2017 20:06

our Rosanna is now 26 and we have never met another. She is known as Rosie.

SuperBeagle · 19/07/2017 20:10

I don't like it at all, but I love both Rose and Anna individually Hmm

Twickerhun · 19/07/2017 20:31

Love it

onlyhumanafterall · 19/07/2017 20:33

I like it but prefer Roseanne.

WormwooodScrubbed · 19/07/2017 20:34

Its really nice but not with a double barreled surname

Sophronia · 19/07/2017 20:56

Lovely!

TartanDMs · 19/07/2017 20:58

My best friend at school was Rosanna, known as Ro. It's really pretty.

Wormwood. My OH name is double barreled. So she'll have his name. I don't know why it wouldn't go with his double barreled name as a short name would sound weird to me with a long double barrelled name. Maybe just me haha.

Tartan ro is lovely. Didn't think to shorten to that x
