Rosa Leigh?

Leigh would be the surname, would this sound silly or be too complicated with people getting it confused with Rosalie?

Also love Roseanne and Rosanna, would these go ok with the surname?

Also considering Cassie, Carys and Chloe.

Not keen on Rosa Leigh. It sounds like Rosalie.

Cassie Leigh is very nice.

Chloe Leigh has too many Ls.

Carys Leigh doesn't flow well imo.

I think the potential for smutty remarks rules out Rosanna and Rosanne Leigh.

Rosa is lovely, but a big no to Leigh.
Rosa Catherine.

The surname is Leigh.

It’ll be mistaken for Rosalie, now I’m singing the Thin Lizzy song.

I think Rosalind Leigh sounds very distinguished and you can call her Rosa for short.

Maybe ..
Rosalind Leigh - Rozzi Leigh
Rosemary Leigh - Rosie Leigh
Cassandra Leigh - Cassie Leigh
Callidora Leigh - Calleigh
Henrietta Rose Leigh - Hetty Leigh

Violet Leigh - violently .. heehee.. NO

When I saw the title I came on to reply "absolutely not, why wouldn't you just call her Rosalie?!", then saw it's your surname that's Leigh.

Rosanna (I prefer Roseanna) is the best option. Not keen on Roseanne it reminds me of the comedienne Roseanne Barr and her TV show of the same name. Rosanna/Roseanna is a lovely name.

Chloe Leigh doesn't work at all, sorry. I'd avoid most names with an ee ending. Cassandra is better than Cassie with your surname, not as twee and you could still use Cassie as a nickname.

Love the suggestion of Rosamund (Rosalind would work too).

More traditional names work better if you don't want Leigh to sound like a middle name.

Elizabeth Leigh
Charlotte Leigh
Imogen Leigh
Beatrice Leigh
Anabelle Leigh
Isabella Leigh
Josephine Leigh
Miriam Leigh
Catherine Leigh
Juliet Leigh
Helena Leigh
Philippa Leigh
Jessica Leigh
Dorothy Leigh
Arabella Leigh

etc
