HelpRe: Rosa
in reply to a message by lola77
While I don't like it as much as Rosalie, it is an ok name and the first association w/ the name that comes to my mind is Rosa Parks, which is a positive one... a woman w/ some chutzpah.
Since roses come in many colours besides red, I don't consider Scarlett and Rosa too much red for 1 sibset. They sound pleasant enough together... Plus, both girls would have their own lives and personalities, so it's not that big an issue anyway if there's a slight colour relation... As long as you don't have another child named Red or Rouge, I think you'll be ok on that.

I LOVE Rosalie as well but it sounds terrible with my last name- two syllables/rhymes with Jovi. I did read somewhere that Rosa means pink in a few other languages so I guess I am somewhat apprehensive about the multiple colour thing...probably not a big deal though b/c happily, the other sibling is Malcolm...no colour relation there:)

Yes, rose is pink in Fr... and Span. is similar on that... But Scarlett and Rosa are so different style-wise, it's not that big an issue.
Less concerned w/ rhyminess on girls' names because of the potential their surnames will change later in life, but still a consideration. Rosa is still a pleasant name. There's also Rosalia.
