Rosalba

Opinions please.

I don’t like Rosalba but do like Rosalie or Rose Alba as two separate names would be lovely.

Sounds like a disease or a medication to specifically used to treat said disease

White rose of york g.co/kgs/pB8Hm2 maybe not of you are from Lancashire.

Another no. What about Alba Rose instead?

thank you to those who recognised it as a old Italian name, not a made up illness Yes it means white rose, a meaning I like.

Well I like that people aren't that enthused by it (I wouldn't want a name that was unanimously liked) or confused by the pronounciation.

Ah you should have said you were looking for a name people generally don't like. We could have been a bit less restrained

If it is an old Italian name and you love it, then use it. Now you have explained, I can see the appeal.

Why would you actively want a name that people can't pronounce?!

I think it's lovely - Rosalba Carriera was a painter, and I think there's a character in one of the Cadfael books

I like both names but agree that together they sound like a disease, sorry.

It seems nice, though also kinda feels incomplete - when reading it, it feels like a shortened of Rosabelle even when I know it's a different name.

Are you based in Italy or UK? If latter then you can't really expect most to recognise it as an old Italian name. You'll just get faces. Alba Rose is much less cumbersome and easier on British ear.

I have a lovely Mexican friend called Rosalba - I think it's a beautiful name because of her.

I think it sounds clunky. Prefer Rosalie.
