Help[Opinions] Rosetta
Honestly, WDYT? I've only come across it today properly for the first time. As it's an Italian pet form of the name Rosa, I'm assuming it probably means along the lines of 'little Rosa/litte Rose'?
When I see it though, I can't help thinking of the Rosetta Stone, which I've heard of so many times before, so the familiarity with that association has taken off the cuteness for me a bit. I've also noticed it hasn't been very popular since the sixties. A bit outdated, maybe?

It's my neice's name, named after her great grandmother, and it's lovely. She gets a lot of complements on it. I do think of the rosetta stone a bit, but it doesn't bother me.

I love it, it's beautiful! Some people may make the Rosetta Stone connection, but I don't that should stop you from using it.
I don't think that it's outdated, I think that it's refreshing : )

I quite like it. It's refreshing to see.

I adore it!
Rosetta is not as common as Rose, nor as old-sounding (to me) as Rosa. It's flexible, pretty, and classic. I just love it!
I have an ancestor named Sarah-Rosetta, who went by simply Rosetta. Thus I have an even better reason to use it on a daughter some day.

I love Rosetta. It's a longtime favorite of mine.

It's nice but I think it's best as a middle name.
