Thoughts on Rosalie

[jayhawk84]

I'm about two seconds pregnant, so of course I'm already planning names.

What are your thoughts on the name Rosalie?

[Widget123]

Love it! One of my favorites even back when Twilight was a big deal.

[jags8]

Love it!

[bromios]

Twilight and not as good as Rose.

Congrats! I love it. I also love Coralie.

Are you thinking of any other names?

We also like Natalie and Anne. I like Georgia, Vivian, Juliet and Josephine but DH has vetoed those.

I like Coralie a lot but it is too close to DD's name for us to use.

Congrats!

Rosalie is an okay name, but not as beautiful or elegant as Rose, in my opinion. If DH vetoed Juliet, what about Julia?

(Also, nothing wrong with planning names this early - we picked our girl name (which went to Baby A) a week post BFP.)

Is ok, but Rose is just so much more beautiful and timeless. Seconding PP's suggestion of Julia.

I like it, but like some others prefer Rose (Also, I'm a bit biased as DD1 is Rose. Lol).

Julia is amazing. So are:
Natalia
Noelle
Althea
Aurelia
Anthea
Beatrix
Genevieve
Ginevra
Freya
Georgiana
Lenore
Marie
Rochelle
Sabina
Seraphina
Sabela
Thea

I like it but prefer Rosemary or Rosalind

I like Rosalie, also Rosemary
For the record I read the books and watched the movies and when I read Rosalie I thought oh pretty! Rather than Twihard

There's nothing wrong with it, but I prefer Rosalind, Rosalina, or Roisin. I definitely prefer Rosalie to Rose.

Rosalie's lovely. There are two different ways of pronouncing it, at least there are here in the UK. Ros-a-lee is the slightly less old-fashioned pronounciation and it's what people will assume she's called. Rose-a-lee is much less common.

The name was around long before Twilight. I read all the books when they came out, but I didn't make the connection till someone else mentioned it. I might blink if someone named their children Bella, Edward and Jacob, or Renesmee, but I don't think anyone would make an association from a single name.

I like it but do think of Twilight but that will likely continue to fade away. I prefer Rose or Rosalind though.

[saraml13]

I prefer just Rose or Rosemary

[seamonster]

Not a fan. I like Rosalind better.

But I love Natalie.
