HelpRe: Rose, Rosalind, or Rosalie? (m)
in reply to a message by Billina
Not Rose, except as a possible nn. Too floral by far, tending towards the sentimental. Flowers-wise, I'd consider using Daisy and Iris, probably not together though, and that's about it.
Rosalie is also out. Limp and languid, but the only Rosalie I've known well is brash and bright and energetic, so go figure.
That would appear to leave me with Rosalind! It is a good name, less sugary than Rosalie and Rose, probably because of the Shakespeare connection, though IRL I'd be more likely to use Celia. But by far the nicest of your three.
If I wanted a rose name, then I'd probably have to spin a coin between Rosamond and Rosemary. I think family pressure would swing it towards Rosemary - Rosamond seems to be too out there for them, though I love it. What about Eleanor and Rosamond for regal, naughty medieval twins?
