[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all. I adore the name [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], but I find the short forms to be too common for me to ever use in the future as a standalone name.
I like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], but it’s moving up fast. I like [name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f] but it feels too dated. I like [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] but it’s too sing-songy. I like [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] but they can feel a little stern at times.
What about [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f]- why do you think we don’t see much of them?
I am particularly intrigued by [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f].
I like Rhoslin with an “h” and without the “a”. Here are some more.

There are hundreds of species of roses and many are named after traditional names such as:
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Anneka[/name_f], [name_f]Beryl[/name_f], [name_f]Bonny[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Celina[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Ina[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_u]Ivory[/name_u], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Kara[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Roxie[/name_f], [name_f]Selena[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is my favourite but [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] is pretty too. There’s also [name_f]Rosella[/name_f], [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Rosetta[/name_f] (nn rose/etta) and [name_f]Roselle[/name_f].
Of your options, I like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f] because it sounds like a place you’d sell Roses (with emphasis on the “i”), and too similar to “rosary.” I don’t know, it just sounds off to me. Although it does remind me of [name_u]Rosario[/name_u] [name_m]Dawson[/name_m], which is an interesting association.
I think [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] gets less attention possibly because the pronunciation can be confusing. Sometimes I read it as “rose-[name_m]AH[/name_m]-lee-uh” and sometimes as “rose-uh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-uh.” Otherwise I think it’s a lovely name.
I knew someone named [name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f] who went by [name_f]Roz[/name_f], and I thought it was just the coolest nickname ever.
I like [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f] fairly well! I know a [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] and a [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f], and I have to say I like the [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f] slightly better, which may be why I like it more? (Although the [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] is lovely, too!) The [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f] I know is R0saria M@ry, which I think is absolutely gorgeous!
[name_f]Rosalina[/name_f], [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f], etc., reminds me of [name_f]Rosina[/name_f], too, which is my favorite [name_f]Rose[/name_f] name of all time (although [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is a very close second!).
Good luck!
[name_f]Rosaria[/name_f] is my favourite - very light and airy, and feels on-trend as both [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] names are popular currently.
I really like [name_f]Rosaria[/name_f]! It’s uncommon yet familiar, also very beautiful
My 4 y/o is [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. I love the name as much now as when we chose it. We call her [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
