HelpRe: Rosie Pink
in reply to a message by honeyberry04
Naming someone after the Pinkertons is dark as hell. The fact that it could be shortened to "Pink" makes it even more sinister and messed up, like trying to give the KGB a cute makeover.
So that's interesting! Rosamund Pinkerton aka Rosie Pink would be a superb name for someone who may seem sweet as pie and respectable but is actually someone who will do anything for the right price, that kind of thing.
If you wanted to keep things genuinely cute I'd go with something like Rosamund "Rosie" Pinks, after the flowers (dianthus, aka "pinks").

Hmm I didn’t know there was a common association with the ln Pinkerton? Who/what are they?
Well, when I see "Pinkerton", the Pinkertons are the first thing that spring to mind! They were sort of the precursor to the Secret Service in America, used by the government and other powerful people. Famously used to prevent workers from trying to form unions in the late 19th and early 20th century. They rebranded as a simple security company now, but the name still puts me in mind of a ruthless old-timey mercenary type.
