Help me name my main character

My female MC was born in [name_u]London[/name_u] in 1922 and she needs a name with nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. She’s working class, chestnut brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin.
So should I have her name as [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. Or just [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].
Her last name is [name_m]Jenkins[/name_m] and I think her middle is going to be [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] (but that probably won’t be that important to the storyline). Or can you think of any other suitable ‘rosie’ names.

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]” is beautiful. And I like it more than just [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].

Other ideas:

[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]/Rosamond/Rosamonde “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosette[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosetta[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]/Roseline “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosalina[/name_f]/Roselina “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Roselle[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosella[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of these is definitely [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] as a nickname for it. :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], I’m not sure whether it’s too ‘posh’ for her character as she’s from quite a poor background. But i’m defo stealing [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] for a more modern character :))
