Baby girl name - Tessa or Rosalie?

We are still finalizing baby #3's name and hope to eliminate one by putting two names against each other.

DS is Benjamin Graeme, DD is Violet Elizabeth.

Mainly concerned re. Rosalie about it being too cutesy/flowery with Violet. Seems like Rose or Rosie is an inevitable nickname, right?

(If you're curious, the other names still on the table are Audrey [DH's pick] or Olivia [maybe too popular]).

Thanks for your help!!!

Re: Baby girl name - Tessa or Rosalie?

  • Rosalie is lovely. Even if she does go by Rose it's still my favorite. I don't mind the flower thing at all. In order if preference-

    Rosalie
    Audrey

    Olivia

    Tessa

    Rosalie hands down! I don't mind the slight match with Violet. Both are beautiful.

  • Rosalie is so much more beautiful than Tessa. I don't think it's too theme-y.

    I picked Rosalie. I have a friend named Rosalie and people call her by her full name. I'd never just call her Rose out of nowhere.

  • Tessa. I like it better anyway but I do think having a Violet with a Rosalie is too cutesy/flowery.

  • While Tessa isn't my favorite (I like it, but not in love), I hate Rosalie/Rosalia/Rosie. I've encountered too many annoying people and dogs with that name. I know it gets a lot of love on this board, but I just don't like it in the slightest. Sorry if I unwittingly offend anyone.

    I love Audrey, though! I still love Olivia, despite the annoying popularity spike. Maybe by the time I have a kid, Olivia will have declined in popularity. A girl can dream, right?

  • I voted Rosalie but it is kind of matchy/flowery. Of all the names you're considering, I like Audrey, then Olivia.
  • I love Tessa 

    I don't like Rosalie with Violet
  • I am a LITTLE iffy about the slight matchiness, but Rosalie is just so much prettier than Tessa and I think it works better in your sibset. So I say Rosalie.

  • I still love Tessa.  I don't worry about sibsets unless the names are too similar.  I do not love Rosalie.  It's only okay for me regardless of the flower theme.  I prefer them in this order.


    Tessa
    Olivia
    Audrey
    Rosalie
  • Thanks so much for all of the feedback and for taking the poll!
  • I don't think it's that matchy so I voted Rosalie.  I really don't think Tessa goes with the sibset.

  • I prefer Rosalie over just Tessa. The flowery thing doesn't bother me at all. I don't think it is too cheesy.
