[Opinions] Re: Rosemary? and a male sibset, and Old English names.
Rosemary is pretty but it's the name of my half-aunt so I could never use itCordelia and Rosemary - nice
Beatrice and Rosemary - beautiful!
Celia and Rosemary - beautiful again!
Jesse and Rosemary - I love Jesse but it sounds like too much of a nickname rather than a formal one
Calvin and Rosemary - these don't look right together for some reason
Rosemary and Margaret - with the nns Rosie and Maggie this is really cute Alfred and Aubrey go really well but I don't like Aubrey - something about the 'elf power' makes me chuckle :)I like:Annis
Ætte - how do you pronounce this?Hædde

Ætte pronunciation.The Old English "Æ" is pronounced like the "a" in "cat", and words were accented on the first syllable, so I'm assuming AT-te, with the final "e" pronounced the Italian/Old English way (similar to the Modern English sound /ay/).~ Caitlín
