Rose is getting rave reviews on other threads. Rightly so.

What do we think of Roselyn for example?

I don't like Rosalyn (and I would have assumed Roz-a-Lyn at first glance, but would soon get used to the Rose pronunciation).

Re other Rosie names; I love Rose and Rosalie. Like Rosanna.

Don't like Rosa, Rosabelle or Rosanna.

Rosie is sweet as a nickname for a little girl, but I'm not a fan on it on BC.

If you don't like the z sound in Roselyn why don't you make it a bit more obvious and spell it Rosa-lynne?

Personally, I don't like Rosene, Rosabeth, Rosabelle etc. They sound too made up and fussy. Rose is a beautiful name, even if I am biased as it's my DD's second name Grin

Ffs; I meant to say I love Rosanna but don't like Roseanne^^.

My favourites are Rosalind and Rosalin

Least favourite is Rosalie

This may not matter at all, but some people like to consider the meanings of names.

In origin, Rosalind and Rosamund have nothing to do with flowers; the 'Ros' sound (originally Hros) comes from an old Germanic word for 'horse'. In later centuries, the names became associated with the Latin-origin name for the flower 'Rosa'. It's a case of similar sounds meaning different things in different languages.

The 'lind' and 'mund' elements originally meant 'tender' and 'protection'.

I like Rhosyn too!

NearLifeExperience · 09/10/2017 19:30

Rose as it is is just beautiful (I have one Smile)

But I like Rosalind and Rosalie too.

MikeUniformMike · 09/10/2017 22:03

Rhosyn is awful.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 09/10/2017 22:06

Róisín is beautiful,meaning little rose.

Love Rosanna. It's a happy, substantial name I think. Rosa is lovely too. My parents had a very weird acquaintance called Rosalie and my siblings and I made up a very rude song about her so not keen on that. Got an earworm now Blush

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 13/10/2017 00:50

I actually love Rosamund and Rosalind. Absolutely love Rosemary too.
Rose by itself is gorgeous too. Not a fan of any of the others.

mathanxiety · 13/10/2017 04:25

I like -
Rosalba
Romy (pet form of Rosemarie)
Róisín
Rosanna
Rosalie
Rosina

KoalaD · 13/10/2017 05:15

I love Rosa.

Not keen on any of the others, much.

JWrecks · 13/10/2017 05:26

I have a friend with a DD called Rosabelle, and they call her Rose for short. I think it's a lovely name, and it works well with their surname too. I also like Primrose, as somebody else said!

Tealdeal747 · 13/10/2017 08:21

Roisin
Roseanna
Rosabella
Rosemarie
Rubyrose

UsernameInvalid66 · 20/10/2017 16:37

I like Rose itself and Rosalie (although I'd pronounce that with a Roz- unless I knew that particular Rosalie preferred it with a Rose-). Also quite like Roisin (sorry, I don't know how to do the accents on this computer).

One that hasn't been mentioned is Rosetta - I know an old lady who has that as a full name, but is usually known as Rose.

stellarfox · 20/10/2017 22:13

I'm Rosanna but go by Rose. Whilst I like my name I would probably just prefer to be called Rose. Rosalie is cute too but not so classic as Rose.

lovelyjubilly · 27/10/2017 19:17

I know a little Roselle which I think is beautiful.
