[Opinions] Rosalie
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this name...it's quickly skyrocketing to the top of my list.
It has a lot of family significance (every woman on my dad's side has shared the middle name Rose...can't use it because I find it too close 'red' with DD Scarlett)- Impressions?Do you think it works well with DSD Natasha, DD Scarlett and DS Malcolm?Thanks:) xo

I really like it but I like pretty much any "Rose" name. I plan to suggest Rosalie if I can't get my SO on board with just Rose or Rosa (that is to say if he vetoes my other top girls names) because I think Rosalie has a "younger" quality that appeals to more people.And I think Rosalie fits in fantastically with your other kids names. Scarlett and Rosalie sound especially poetic together

Thank you:) I find Scarlett and Rosalie together quite charming as well.

I think it's pretty and quite pleasant, while still being fun and spunky. I see no reason why the red factor should necessarily interfere with using it since roses come in more colours than just red. Natasha, Scarlett and Rosalie would make a fine sister set... 1 is a colour and most people think of the flower before the colour (In Fr. rose is pink- not red, so they'd clash rather than matching on that level). Malcolm is fine w/ it too.

Thanks! I actually love pink and red together so in that way, adore the two together even more.

I love it, though I love Rosalia more. Other Rose- names I'm fond of are Rosemary, Rosalind, Rosaline, and Rosanna. I think Rosemary would fit the best in the sibset, though all of them work quite well.

I think Rosalie is a lovely name and it sounds great with your other kid's names too. A nice way of still using a "rose" name, without it being Rose.

I love Rosalie but was a little disappointed when it ended up in Twilight, it seems the names featured in those books / movies are becoming way more popular. Still, its a beautiful name and it goes well with your children.
Other "Rose" names to consider:
Rosemary (my top fav)
Rosa
Rosalind

It is my great-aunt's name, and I've always thought it was really sweet and pretty and never heard it on anyone else. You can imagine my surprise that it keeps popping up the last few years. It wouldn't surprise me if it got semi popular, but still, never woulda thunk it!I think it goes with Scarlett and Malcolm really well, not Natasha quite as much.

I like Rosalie well enough, but it's not one of my favorites. I think it goes pretty well with Natasha, Scarlett and Malcolm.Have you ever thought about Rosaline? I think it goes even better with your other children's names. :) It can be pronounced ROSE-uh-leen or ROZ-uh-line.

I love Rosaline...prefer Rosa-line pronunciation but since I have a niece Caroline, I feel like it's out.
