Rose, Rosa doesn't work, use Rosanna Lee?

[peaceofmind1]

Love Rose and Rosa but it doesn't go with surname :(

Would you use Rosanna?

Haven't had a great reaction about Rosanna. I also don't love the "Sanna" part. I would hope that everyone would call her Rose but understand that you can't control nicknames so feel quite stuck :(

Is using the other parents surname a complete no go?

Rosita?
Rosamund?
Rosemary?

Any "Rose" name is likely to one Rosie at some point. Are you happy with Rosie Lee?

What about Daisy?

Apart from the tea/fortune teller aspect, she might not appreciate being named after the world's most famous stripper.

"Obviously her name would be Rosanna outside of the home. So I doubt she'll be know as Rose Lee it would always be Rosanna Lee."

I would avoid any name that you really don't want an obvious derivative of. You cannot dictate what her friends call her, and Rose or Rosie are the obvious choices for all the Ros... names.

I think of tea when I hear Rosie Lee. It's pretty big I'd keep looking if I was you.

Sounds like Dairylea.

I think it needs to be a strong sound

Harriet Lea

I think Rosa and Rosanna are both pretty names that sound fine with Lee. Rose Lee is also fine though it doesn’t flow quite as well. I didn’t know the Rosa Lee rhyming slang connotation - I suppose many people won’t. I think Rosanna works better as it’s longer and flows nicely with Lee.

you could always call her Rose as a second name but make it her main name, so

Lucy Rose Lee
Amelia Rose Lee
(known as Rose)

I love Rosemary Lee and Roisin Lee.
I once read an unusual spelling of the name - Rosanagh.

I love Rose and Rosanna but I wouldn’t use them with Lee - just because she’ll get Gypsy Rose Lee a lot and it will be annoying

If you are really set on it I’d go for Rosalind - you can call her Rosa for short, but she has an option that sounds different if she ends up not liking that

Even though I prefer Anna to Mary, over all, I think Rosemary Lee is lovely.
That can be Rosie or Rosa

Rosa Marianne Lee?

I just don't like Rosanna even though usually i like Spanish names. Rosanna is a bit too saccharine or something.

How about Roslyn?

Rosita or Rosina

Lengthen it, into Ana-Rosa or primrose or anything-rose eg Amy Rose. If it's the Ro sound maybe you like Ramona or Rhona or Brodie. If it's the flower assocation how about Viola or Bryony or Lorelei.

Rosemary is lovely.

I was nearly named Rosie Lee but my parents immediately knew people would pair it with Tea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks all,

Rosemary Lee. Lovely.

shortened to Rosie

kids don’t know about Gypsy Lee - and who cares if they do

Annarose?
