I like Rosetta; the more I think about it, the more I like it. There's the stone, of course, but it also makes me think of Rossetti, so it has a great sort of Pre-Raphaelite vibe to it, or the Arts and Crafts Movement: a sense of sturdy, natural folksiness. It has that hint of vintage sweet-strength that accompanies names that were once chosen because they seemed fresh and romantic at the time but they grew up to be tough and sensible, like Edith, Mildred, Maude, and Ethel. Rosetta has a core of steel.
