Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist. She attained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings, characterized by a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and rhythmic accompaniment that was a precursor of rock and roll. She was the first great recording star of gospel music and among the first gospel musicians to appeal to rhythm-and-blues and rock-and-roll audiences, later being referred to as "the original soul sister" and "the Godmother of rock and roll". She influenced early rock-and-roll musicians, including Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Rosetta is among my favourite names to use in real life. My great-grandmother was named Rosa. Rosetta is a sweet diminutive of that name. After that the link with the Rosetta Stone is great as I love history and many languages.

I think this name is very beautiful and elegant, but then again I love almost all names that are variants of Rose. I think it would be nice for someone to have this name because it is not very popular in the U.S.

The first thing I think of when I hear the name Rosetta is the Rosetta Stone (the important archaeological find, not the language-learning software). That's not a bad association, especially if you like history. The second thing that comes to mind is that ROSETTA is an anagram of TOASTER, but that's not bad either because toasters are useful.

I really like it, and it might be my favorite form of Rose. Also, I think the association with the stone is good, though the language-learning program may be a downside.

I quite like this name, and I don't mind that it has the association with the Egyptian stone. I probably quite like it because of the association with Piper Laurie, whose real birth name is Rosetta Jacobs. :-)

Actually it's been in use in the UK for longer than that. It's a family name in my family, and the first one was born in 1806. I imagine it became popular after the Rosetta Stone came to England in 1802.
