Which Ros- name? (Rosaline, Rosalie etc)

[Rarathelionsaid]

Dh and I have decided on either Rosaline, Rosalie and Rosalind but are unsure on which one as both of us seem to change our minds between them each day. I think my favourite is Rosaline but I don’t know if that’s just because I’m imagining Leonardo di’caprio saying it that’ll probably change tomorrow

We’re also planning on using Rosie as a nickname and neither are a fan of Roz, do you think Roz is inevitable?

I think eventually kids have nicknames you hate irrespective of the name you chose so I wouldn’t really worry about it

I think Rosalind is very classy & Rosalie very pretty

I really like Rosalind but any name that has a Roz pronunciation is likely to be shortened to that at some point
What about Roseanna? Rosanna? That would shorten to Rosie really nicely!
Rosalie can be pronounced ROZ-a-Lee or ROSE-a-Lee so that could work too.

Rosalind

If you like Rosie rather than Roz than definitely go for Rosalie.

I think if you don’t like Roz you might want to pick a different name as she is bound to be known as Roz at some point. Having said that I love Rosalie - it was on my list if DS2 was a girl - and I like Rosalind too.

Rosalie

Rosamund is my favourite.

doxxed not a fan of Rose and I’m not sure I guess we’d just like her to have a longer name and a nickname to choose from and find all the ros- names lovely

Just to add another into the mix - I really like Rosamund.

Rosalind is v nice - it has a timeless and classy feel.

I don't really like Rosaline - it seems a bit fortune teller to me. Rosalie is pretty but quite cutesy which is not my style but nice enough.

I love Rosaind, after Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant and under recognised female chemist who was involved in the discovery of the structure of DNA. My husband won't let me use it, sadly.

I prefer Rosalie

Rosalie, I suggested this for dc2 but dh vetoed it. Don’t try and choose a nn once they start school one develops naturally. Whether you like it is another matter, I say this as dd is Imogen we used Immy until she started school and told us she didn’t like it, friends call her Idgy.

Rosalieis my fave of the three - it's a pretty name.

I love Rosa - FYI though the Rosanna I know is a Rosie and she’s never called Rox.

I'm slinging Rosina into the mix.

My DSD is Rosalie, pronounced rose a lee. She was Rosie but is now preferring rose as she is growing up.

Rosalie was on my list.

My DD's full name is Rosie. If I'd had to pick a longer version then I would've gone for Rosalie, but Rosaline and Rosalind are both lovely as well though.

Rosa?
Rosamund?
Rosetta?

Rosalyn?

The ones you've chosen will probably be shortened to Ros

If you want Rose or Ro as a nickname I'd choose Rosie or Rosanna or Rosanne.

Rossalyn with 2 s but would be shortened to Ros I imagine

Rosalind. Can be Rosie if that's what you prefer, or Ros if that's what she prefers as she gets older.
