HelpRe: Thoughts on a nickname for my still-regretful name choice....
in reply to a message by anxiolytics
As far as I'm concerned, it sounds like you need to accept that Rosalie is her name and get on with loving your family! (Not that you aren't loving them, but it seems like dragging this on is only going to cause turmoil). You will love love love your daughter, regardless of whether you love her name. I wouldn't stress about a nickname. Something will come.
Zalia pronounced ZAILya doesn't seem to connect to Rosalie at all.
Some others to try out:
Ro
Ro-ro
Rovio - my favourite
RV (ha, maybe not)
R
Rosa
Rosie
Salie
Li
Lili
Osa
Rolie
Ollie
Osie
Anything?

Hi there,
Thank you for the kind, non-judmental but solid opinion and post, and I am beginning to accept your POV.
Ro is out b/c my 3 y.o. niece goes by that-and sadly, I don't care for Rosa or Rosie--but I do like Lili, had not thought of that one.
I'm really having a tough time coming to terms with her name being set in stone, but the longer it goes unchanged (as it has and will per my husband) the more I am having to accept it. I have had many a dream about reverting to Thalia, though it helped to hear my sister who is visiting say that she thought Rosalie a far prettier choice-the name still just doesn't feel right, and rather, feels wrong to me most of the time. I do try to spend lots of time just cuddling her when she is awake.
I had been occasionally referring to her as Teenie but my sister related a story today about a little girl whom her siblings called Minnie b/c they couldn't pronounce her name, and it stuck and now the child is all grown up and goes by Minnie, so maybe Teenie isn't a good idea. In fact, it took mr a while to shed my own nickname which was similarly diminutive.
I like the Salie idea, prn. the french way that I think Bear pointed out, Zelie-but will apparently have to give up on anything ending in A. My mother is calling her by both names b/c she loves it so much, and although a bit over-the-top, the full 5 syllables has been growing on me (i.e. calling her Rosalie Violet).
Rovio is awfully cute but all I can think of is angry birds-as I think Rovio is the name of the company that produces it, lol.
I am sure this too shall pass, I AM thrilled to have her here in my arms, and will try to find a way out of this spiral of name ruminations. Thank you for all of your thoughts and ideas!
