[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s name is [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. [name_f][/name_f] I think it’s classic and works well for a baby and an adult. [name_f][/name_f] It’s sophisticated and pretty. [name_f][/name_f] The one syllable is nice. [name_f][/name_f] Many names would work as a middle name.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Still classic, but has a Spanish or Italian flare.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosella[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Nice combination of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Four[/name_m] syllables may be too much. [name_f][/name_f] You’d probably call her “Rosa”.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- “Linda” seems a little dated.

I would go in that order, [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Rosella[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]I guess my reasoning boils down to “sometimes simple is better”. I do really like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] though, if that were thrown into the mix I’d put it at #2[name_f][/name_f], just behind simple, gorgeous [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

thank you! I agree about [name_f]Rose[/name_f] being timeless on its own, but my son goes by a nickname so can’t decide if I want to carry on the theme with a longer name + [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as the nn. love that you used it for your daughter! 
Ooh hard one!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rose[/name_f] ~ this is one of my favourite names! I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and have loved her for a long time. She’s elegant, romantic, has gorgeous floral imagery and is beyond timeless.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosa[/name_f] ~ I think [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] is unexpected choice she’s pretty with a sugary sweet vintage sound. For me [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] has a warmer sound however just doesn’t feel as melodic in sound as [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] ~ a romantic name that oozes femininity and feels flamboyant. A very pretty name with an over melodic sound.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosella[/name_f] ~ a lovely name that feels melodic and frilly but I’m not overly keen on the smoosh feel of this name which makes her not my favourite rose name.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] ~ I think the linda part of the name is a little dated.

- [name_f]Rose[/name_f] – elegant, simple, & timeless, you can never go wrong with the lovely [name_f]Rose[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Rosella[/name_f] – this is so pretty! I really like [name_f]Rosetta[/name_f], so why not [name_f]Rosella[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] – feels a little more vintage & spunky than [name_f]Rose[/name_f], which I love! [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] – a gorgeous name, didn’t rank higher because my mind immediately goes to the MarioKart character. [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] – beautiful, but “Linda” is a little dated [name_f][/name_f]

From favourite to least fave and why
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] → bright, playful and sassy but elegant too, with fun nickname potential [name_f][/name_f]- it’s got plenty of flair but sweetness as well
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosella[/name_f] → vibrant and unexpected + I love nicknames [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_f]Zella[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosa[/name_f] → international and simple, but memorable too [name_f][/name_f]- I’ve heard it less than Rose/Rosie too
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rose[/name_f] → classy and elegant, ‘can’t go wrong’ with it
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] → not bad, I just find it a bit fussy

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] are timeless, elegant, and gentle choices that I absolutely love. They’re simple yet strong, and their usability across different languages makes them even more appealing.
[name_f][/name_f]While [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] has a beautiful meaning, it is dated where I live. The combination of [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] and [name_f]Linda[/name_f] may be a bit too much for my taste. However, I believe [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] can create beautiful whimsical combos. Similarly, [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] carries the same grandiose, romantic and old-fashioned vibe.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosella[/name_f], on the other hand, is unique and unexpected, but it doesn’t quite capture the same sweet and delicate charm that [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] embody.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- It’s such a simple, timeless, beautiful classic and one of my favorite names
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- A more offbeat, uncommon alternative to [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but still with the sweet, flowery feel
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- It’s flowery and fun with a lot of nicknames
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I don’t really like very many “smush” names, but this one’s okay
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosella[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- same reason as [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f], but this one just reminds my of rosin for some reason. It is a sweet blend of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and practically any [name_f]El[/name_f]- name though

But you skipped all my favourites: [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]! (In that order.)

ha! [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] would likely be the nn for all of these! I am also toying with putting [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] on my list [name_f][/name_f]- can’t talk my husband into [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] though

[name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] (gorgeous, I’m generally a big fan of -lina/-line names)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosa[/name_f] (i like how its simple but unexpected)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rose[/name_f] (a classic for a reason)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] (i have several aunts named [name_f]Linda[/name_f] so I can’t get past the “linda” sound feeling dated to me)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosella[/name_f] (im not sure why this isnt my thing but its not. Sometimes elaborate and princessy is great, see [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f], but sometimes its just doesn’t hit right for me and this is one of those times)

I actually think all the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names are beautiful, I just often favour girl names that don’t end with “-a” for some reason. I’m think in the minority with that though! But I do think [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] is really lovely as a full name for a little [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]! It has the wonderful flow of an [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] or [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]. I basically agree with @sammaegre’s ranking. (And I definitely think you should consider [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] for your list as well 
)

Rose - classic and timeless and perfect!
-
Rosa - a twist on the classic; not my style, but still pretty. The -a adds a little flare.
-
Rosalina - sweet, soft, feminine; a lovely choice for those who don’t want “just Rose”.
-
Rosalinda - I find the “Roz” part of the pronunciation harsh and unbecoming. I don’t like any of its variations.
-
Rosella - it’s a kind of parrot that we have here, and I just can’t take it seriously as a name.
My personal favourite alternative to Rose is Rosalie.

I didn’t know about the parrot! That almost makes me like it more 
but after hearing so much love for Rosalie I might swap Rosella out for it as I don’t think it’s my favorite either. I used to dislike the Twilight association for Rosalie, but don’t think it’s as relevant anymore.

I forgot to ask, just out of curiosity do you pronounce the “s” in [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] differently since you said the “z” sound in [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] seems a bit harsher?
Yes, I would pronounce [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] like [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], but [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f] like “roz-uh-linda”. I’m not sure why… that’s just how we say it here
[name_m]Ah[/name_m], okay! I do the same actually, I say Roz-uh-linda in english & Ros-ah-Leen-dah in spanish, but I’m not crazy about the english prn. I might consider [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] instead for something less dated. thanks for ur insight!
