[Opinions] Rosabeth
Last night a name got stuck in my head: Rosabeth. I think it sounds lovely. When I googled it, I found that there is a professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter and she seems to be pretty much the only person with the name, which I think is a bit irritating. Anyway, what do you think about the name Rosabeth?
And WDYT about these combos?Rosabeth Marie
Rosabeth Lark
Rosabeth Fern
Rosabeth Wren
Rosabety Hope
Rosabeth Inez
Rosabeth Greta(I'm not planning to use it; this is just for fun.)
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

I think Rosabeth is pretty and "makes sense" as a mash-up name in that it's easy to understand, is comprised of familiar, commonly-used name components, and doesn't feel over-the-top or, really, particularly "made up". Of your list, Rosabeth Greta is my favorite, followed by Rosabeth Inez, though I'd prefer Rosabeth Agnes. Rosabeth Marie is nice too. Because I'm already seeing roses, I'd prefer not to have an obvious "nature noun" in the middle slot.I've been playing with Embeth recently (prefer in the middle slot) and, while she doesn't look to be the *only* one, actress, Embeth Davidtz, is likely the only place most folks might have heard of the name.

Meh. I like Rose, and Rosa but this just seems cutesy. It doesn't help that I am not a huge fan of Beth, other than in Elizabeth I find it fairly lispy and unattractive. I do like Rosabel.

Rosabeth is ok, though I prefer Annabeth or Lilybeth. I'm not such a fan of the middle names you used.

I like Rose, and Rosa, and Beth is okay. But Rosabeth is just icky-cutesy, which I think a lot of names in that style tend to be: Annabeth, Marylou, Annabelle.
