Variations of Rose

Hello, I’d love to hear your favourite variations of the name Rose please. It will be for a middle name to honour my Granny Rose (if it’s a girl of course, we’re having a surprise!) So far I’m really liking Rosalia and Rosalie. 2 or more syllables will work best. Thanks in advance.

I like Rosa, Rosanna and the Irish Roisin.

Rosina? Not sure I love the name but I loved the one person I ever met with the name... less Spanish or diminutive than Rosita

I came on to say Rosalie - it’s a family name which I’ve always loved.

What's wrong with Rose?

Rosa
Rosey
Rosalia

Was your Granny from an area with other languages (Welsh, Irish etc or from abroad?) Are the names for Rose different where she was from and you could use one of those?

I have a Rosa… she gets lots of compliments about her lovely name.
There aren’t very many of them but it also doesn’t say ‘trying too hard to be different’ - perfect.

I think if you are honouring a Rose but want 2 plus syllables then Rosa or Rosanna are my faves (those seem closest to Rose to me? Rosa is just Latinised and Rosanna just an elaboration or like having two middle names - Rose Anna)

Rosamund, Rosalind etc are lovely too imo but I think they're too far from your Gran's name.

LulooLemon · 29/10/2022 22:52

Roisin is nice

Greybutterfly · 29/10/2022 22:57

Why not use Rose. Its beautiful…. It’s not honouring her if you are changing the name.
