Rosa or Rosanna?

[flowerygirl]

Just that really...which do you prefer? Do you think Rosanna will get shortened to Rosie?

I prefer Rosanna, but they are both beautiful.

I think they both have the potential to become Rosie!

Ours has Rosa as a middle name. I prefer that to Rosanna. I think for me Rosanna has connotations of the American TV show Roseanne (sp?).

I would imagine Rosanna would get shortened to Rosa or Anna before Rosie.

I prefer Rosa, but I do like Rosanna too. Both more interesting than just Rose, or Rosie.

I like both but I think I prefer Rosanna

Rosa is much nicer imo

Rosa

Rosa is so pretty...one of my favourites.

I know several, ages 3ish, 5 and late teens. "Rosie" doesn't seem to have become a semi-NN for any of them...so it's not necessarily inevitable!

Rosanna in its full form is nice. Yes, "Rosie" "Anna" (even "Zanna"/ "Ro", I suppose?) are potential shortenings, but none of them a given.

Once met a (Portuguese) baby Rosalia [parents pronounced it Roh-ZAH-lee-uh, rather than Roh-zuh-LEE-uh]. Quite liked the sound of that.

My sister is Rosanna. She's only ever been Rosy.

I know two Rosanna's. One gets Rose, Rosie and Aunty Zanna depending on who it is. The other was only ever Rosie as a baby but when the sibling came along it was Zaza and it stuck.

I think Rosanna is a bit less popular these days, so if you're looking something more unique, I'd go with that.

Rosanna is beautiful.

Rosanna, beautiful name

Rosanna. Which can always be shortened to Rosa if you like.

I prefer just Rose tbh.

Rosa.

I prefer simple, less fussy names.

Rosa

Rosa. I'm really not a fan of Rosanna.
Yet I love the name Rose and Anna and they go beautifully together, but I just don't like it, strange.
Or have you thought of switching it a round. Annarose would be gorgeous

I like both, but prefer Rosanna

Like both. Either could be called Rosie TBH but I think it's more likely with Rosanna. I think I prefer Rosanna overall and I like the NN Rosie.

I like both and prefer Rosanna, but it is more likely to get shortened to Ros unless you insist on Rose/Rosie as a shortened version.

Roseanne sounds very dated.

Rosa. Rosanna seems overly fussy to me. Rosa is beautiful

Rosanna by a mile. Also Rosalie?

I know 2 Rosannas. One gets Rosie and one is always Rosanna. I think anything beginning Ros can be shortened to Rosie but it depends if the name bearer wants it.
Both are beautiful names.
