We loved [name]Rosia[/name] last pregnancy. Of course we had a boy. Can also spell it Roesia. Cute nn option of Sia too, but love [name]Rosie[/name]

I love [name]Rosalie[/name]. My second choice would be [name]Rosamund[/name].

[name]Rosalie[/name] got my vote! I love it. I actually know a few little [name]Rose[/name]'s and I always think “Why didn’t they give her the full name [name]Rosalie[/name]!?”. [name]Rosemary[/name] is awfully cute too, but the others are too formal sounding for my taste.

Tough choice between [name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Rosalind[/name]. [name]Rosalie[/name] got my vote in the end.

[name]Rosalie[/name] is so cute! My second choice was [name]Rosalind[/name], but [name]Rosalie[/name] is sweeter and spunkier [name]IMO[/name].

Anything [name]Ros[/name]- related works really well for [name]Rosie[/name].
I choose [name]Primrose[/name] because it appeals to me the most.

[name]Rosalie[/name] got my vote

I like [name]Rosamund[/name] and [name]Rosemary[/name]…I’d love to see those names make a comeback!

[name]How[/name] about Roswitha?

I voted for [name]Rosamund[/name]

I voted for [name]Rosamund[/name], but I’m biased as my daughter’s name is [name]Rosamund[/name] nn [name]Rosie[/name]. I absolutely love both names, but most people I’ve found (in the U.S.) will pronounce it with the “[name]Rose[/name]” emphasis, like Roe-sa-mund, instead of Rahz-ah-mund, especially with the nn [name]Rosie[/name]. It doesn’t bother me, but if it bothers you, go with [name]Rosalie[/name] or [name]Rosemary[/name] or [name]Primrose[/name], or a form where “[name]Rose[/name]” is pronounced the same as [name]Rosie[/name].

I choose [name]Rosemary[/name]! I prefer names that actually say “[name]Rose[/name]” to get the nickname [name]Rosie[/name]. For instance, [name]Rosalind[/name], I pronounce “[name]Roz[/name] - ah - lind” and I would probably call her “[name]Roz[/name]” which I also really like. [name]Rosemary[/name] is so sweetly old-fashioned and [name]Rosie[/name] makes her useable for a little girl, imo.

In [name]Britain[/name] [name]Rosie[/name] lee means cup of tea so [name]Rosalie[/name] is similar.

rachelxoxo · March 26, 2013, 3:56pm

I actually like [name]Rosemarie[/name], I think it sounds softer than [name]Rosemary[/name]. My second would be [name]Rosalie[/name].

millienow2011 · March 26, 2013, 4:02pm

I picked [name]Rosaline[/name] because its a bit different. I love primrose and [name]Rosalie[/name] but both have obvious connection to recent film franchises

From this list, I love [name]Rosalie[/name]. [name]Rosemarie[/name] is one of my favorites that is not mentioned (said differently than [name]Rosemary[/name]), [name]Rosalba[/name] is another long time love of mine.

garnet · March 26, 2013, 4:25pm

[name]Rosamund[/name] is my favorite from your list, but ottilie’s darling baby girl has definitely made me reconsider [name]Rosalind[/name]!
