Rosa?

[macbooknotpro]

Can I call my potential daughter Rosa.... if her surname is Parker?

WDYT?

Yes it’s not a negative association quite the opposite. Stunning name.

Lovely name

You can, but those are big boots to fill. And in the future if she's trying to establish herself in any kind of business she'll never be the first hit on Google.

@Divgirl2 I just did a search and got lots of random Facebook and LinkedIn for people with that name. Also a memorable name in business is an advantage (assuming 1: she runs a business 2: uses her own name)

Lovely name, maybe a bit much having the 'er' sound at the end of both names.

I wouldn't. I also don't like the (entirely hypothetical) idea that she'll have Rosie as a NN and then be Rosie Parker. It's a lovely name, but not with your surname imo.

Too much 'er'

There should be a balance. So Rose Parker. Rosa Parker doesn't flow right and I can see the possibility of "Rosa Parker the Nosy Parker". Sorry to be shitty.

But another derivative of Rosa -

Rosalie Parker
RosaMay Parker
Rosaline Parker
Rosia Parker
Rosalyn Parker

Would work well

Thank you all for your feedback! Rosa is on the "shortlist" so I have a couple of others to consider too... none of which have an '"er" sound. I do think it's a pretty name though, so may consider it as a middle name instead.

Yes, I immediately thought Rosie Parker, which would be a little unfortunate!

Rosa is lovely, though.

Rosa is lovely. IMO it doesn't go well with Parker though.

How about Rosemary, Rosemarie, Rosanna?

No you can't really. Rosa Parker = Nosy Parker.

Shame. I love Rosa.

In the West Country she’d be Rroserrr Parrkerrr

I have a Rosie and we call her Rose as a nn, I am not sure Rosa would be called Rosie.
