Best ‘Sunday name’ for a little Rosie

[Twolittlespeckledfrogs]

We would like a longer name but can’t decide so would like some suggestions in case we’ve missed any. Current front runners are Rosalie or Rosanna.

Thanks!

Love Rosalie , also Rosanna. Other suggestions Rohaise or Roswyn

I hadn't heard of Rosalie before this thread but its lovely

I think Rosa is nice. Rosalie always reminds me of a Cath Kidston fabric.

Go for Rosie. It is a great name on its own. It is such a pain having a "proper" name that you aren't known by. Rosie is lovely! And these days I think it passes the "professional role" test.

Rosalina

Rosalia

I heard someone call a child rosie today and thought To myself at the time rosalie would be a lovely name.

But after coming on the thread to write rosalie, im loving primrose. Ive taught a primrose before. Lovely girl.

I like Rose as formal, Rosie informal.

I actually like Rosamund and Rosalind very much but think Rosie isn't an obvious shortening. Ros /Roz fit better / more likely in the future at school etc.

Love Rose

Rosa.

Primrose is lovely!

Roisin
Rosamund (rose of the world)
Rosalind
Rose

Rosa is beautiful but I don’t really see the point in naming Rosa and using Rosie as a nickname as it’s not shorter or really a ‘natural’ nickname for Rosa. They are both lovely, pretty names in their own right- I don’t think Rosie needs a ‘proper’ name to be nn for.

Rose

The Rosie’s I have met we’re just Rosie, I didn’t realise it was a diminutive.

What about the lovely Italian version Rosalia? Used to be very popular in the village where I grew up!

I used to know 2 Rosettas (long time ago)

Rose Rose and Rose.

Rosa

Rose, Rosa and Rosanna are my favourites.

Rosemary

Rose or Rosa.

Rosalind or Rosa are pretty names IMHO

I’m an adult Rosie and I’ve never had any issues with my name in a professional sense. I do get people automatically shorten it to Rose a lot which really gets on my nerves (Rose sounds old fashioned to me personally). It’s a bit more popular now but I never had anyone at school with the same name- just a lot of people naming their pets Rosie . I do like the name Rosanna as a long version though.

My dsd is Rosa. Mostly called Rosie as a little one, but then when my children came along the eldest couldn’t say Rosie and she became Woody . Even At work (she’s a paediatrician) she is known as Dr Woody.
