[Opinions] Rose or Rosalie?
Rose has recently broken my top 10 girls names but today I got to thinking about Rosalie as well. I like the simplicity of Rose- it is pretty and timeless and understated. But Rosalie is a bit spunky, it's more fun to say and I imagine a Rosalie being a bit of a wild spark.
So, which do you prefer and why?

Rosalie is more upbeat imo
I love both, but prefer Rose.
It's feminine and "short and sweet", but also has a lot of strength to it, which I really like.

Rose it's classic and beautiful
Rose
I love it so much. Rosalie doesn't begin to compare, imo. Plus, I wouldn't touch the Twilight names with a long pole right now.

I love both names. I will pick Rosalie though. It is beautiful and refreshing and not as common.
Rosalie (nn. Rose)
Although Rose is simple and timeless, it sounds a bit incomplete too me. Rosalie is beautiful and more unique AND can be nicknamed Rose.

It is strange, but I have always disliked Rose for some reason, but I love some of the related names like Rosalie and Rosalia.

Rosalie, it's more interesting and pretty as well. m
Oh, but just for the record: You do pronounce it ROW-za-lee in English, don't you? Or differently?

Rosalie
And not just because I'm a Twilight fan, either. I don't even like Rosalie in Twilight.
No, I prefer Rosalie because it sounds more unique and memorable, and less filler. Also, Rosalie seems quite a 'fresh' name if you know what i mean - it's classical but not overused - whereas I see Rose as being a little jaded by now.
Though Rose McGowan is a favourite actress of mine. Go figure.

I prefer Rose a bit more, not sure why.
I don't find Rosalie 'spunky' at all, I actually find it more insubstantial than Rose
I agree with this.

Good question!
I've thought about this, and I just can't choose. Both are on my PNL, and I love them equally...
I also like the simplicity of Rose, and she deserves to be a first name...
But Rosalie is that little more...interesting. This week, I'm going with Rosalie nn Rose. The best of both worlds.

I love both so I am of no help- I think I prefer the simple beauty of Rose a tad more and the recent Twilight craze has sadly taken Rosalie off my list for now (I've replaced it with my new love Rosemary.) I do love it though and definitely picture a spunky and completely loveable little one- I really do love both- lovely!!!
