valentina or roseanne?

[indecisivemama93]

i’m unable to decide between valentina and roseanne, i had my heart set on roseanne as i like the fact it can be shortened to rose but valentina has thrown a curveball! which do you think would be a better name?

Roseanne is lovely but prefer Rosanna. Valentina is ok but the nicknames Val or Tina put me off! Congrats on your pregnancy 💕

Roseanne/a

Love Valentina!

I prefer Roseanne or Roseanna

At 4 syllables Valentina is a bit of a mouthful and I really don't like Val which I assume would be the most likely shortening

I don’t mind val as a shortening but tina does sound a bit off. The only good thing I can think about for tina is my grandmother was known as Ina.

Love love love Valentina

DS2 would have been Valentina, with the nn Leni.
It’s a stunning name, Roseanne is pretty but Rose is too popular for me.

The other issue with Valentina is that is sounds like 'Val n Tina' which conjures up an image of 2 middle aged women!

Valentina!

I’d go for Rosanna over Rosanne. I don’t like Valentina, I don’t like Val as a shortening.

Valentina for me. Nicknamed invariable Vale with the "e" pronounced in Italy.
I find Roseanne and Rosanna both frumpy, maybe because they're old-fashioned in Italy.

How about Rosalia?

Rosalia and Rosanna are lovely, i’ll keep them in mind!

Rosanna/Roseanna

That /e/ in Roseanne looks odd to me. I much prefer Rosanne or, even better, Rosanna.

Valentina is lovely, but Tina isn't.

I love love LOVE valentina

Roseanne not so much

What about Rosaria?

I really like that Rochelle Humes’ little girl is Valentina, nickname Valle (Valley). It’s really unusual

Love Valentina and would also go Valle for the nickname or even V for short

Much prefer Rosanna to Rosanne - that extra "a" gives it a much more romantic and classical sound imo ala Julie vs Juila, Diane vs Diana etc.

Valentina is pretty in a sightly frilly way, but I'm less keen on Val/Tina than I am Rose/Rosa/Annie.

Valentina

Thank you! I’m not so sure about Roseanne anymore.. maybe just Rose?

Rose is a classic and both romantic and elegant - if it works with your surname it's pretty much a "can't go wrong name" imo, well used but not top 50 yet.

I’m with you. Rose and Roseanne are beautiful. Valentina is ok I guess but Val and Tina are awful.

Rosa and Rosemary too
