Rosie Lee, cup of tea?

[Snoopy90]

I’m thinking of calling my daughter Rosie Lee but have heard this means cup of tea in Cockney rhyming slang. Is this well known and would it put you off the name?

Thanks:)

Yes I'm afraid it would. However I'm an over thinker. Others might not even get on to it.
However if you're only going to use Rosie day to day that should be fine.

Yes it's well known. Probably would put me off, though at least it's not a bad association. But it's what a lot of people would think of when hearing the name. there are also endless tea shops, brands of tea, etc named after it.

I have an aunt called Rosie Lee, but we're in Australia, so it's not been a problem (even though Cockney slang is reasonably well known here).

Maybe call her Rose Lee. That way when he name is said in full, it's not Rosie Lee cup of tea, it's just Rose, but you can still call her Rosie as a "shortening".

How about Rosalie?

There are lots of beautiful girls names that fit well with the middle name Lee.
Aimee Lee.
Sophie Lee
Katie Lee
Darcey Lee
Abbie Lee
Keira Lee
Megan Lee
Jasmine Lee
Erin Lee
Alexandra Lee.
Bobbi Lee.
Macy Lee
Jessica Lee
Bryony Lee
Sienna Lee
Gracie Lee.

Is Lee the surname or are you wanting to double barrel?

Lee is a male spelling of the name for a start

Cora Lee.
Nancy Lee.
Clara Lee

Sorry but when I read it my mind automatically said "needs a pee" after it

I'm assuming Lee is the surname. The Rosie Lee in my family is a Lee by surname.

Rosalee - Thin Lizzy song (a nice one tbh)
Rosie Lee - cuppa tea. Unavoidable, sorry.

Yes it's very well known and would definitely put me off. Don't do it.

I would call her Rosanna Lee (Rosie).
Yes, Rosie Lee is very wide spread, but I love the name above.

Is Lee the surname? In which case absolutely not. You say your first and last name together many times a day and can you imagine saying that you someone in a call centre who starts laughing or picking up the phone at work “Rosie Lee” 20 times a day and even if one or two people a day snigger? It would be awful.

Or is a middle name you’re considering? In which case I think there are better middle names but it’s not the end of the world.

It wouldn't put me off as it's quite cute. Why not just use Rosalie though? People will probably be unsure if you're saying Rosie-Lee or Rosalie as they sound so similar

She'd probably appreciate having Rosalie as an adult - much more grown up

You could just use Rosie-Lee as a pet name growing up maybe. Rosie-Lee cup-of-tea Rosalie

Rosie is lovely but think double barrel names are quite chavvy.

Thanks everyone, Lee is the surname. I’m not keen on any of the other Rose names but love Rosie. Thanks again:)
