Baby name question

Whitney DD

Does the name Rosalie remind you of a "a particular movie/book" when you hear it?

Yes. And no.

To a Twilight fan, yes.
Someone not into it, I don't think they'd know that was even a character.

In a few years, there will be no connection.

If it helps at all ... if we had a girl I wanted to do "Mary Kate" or "Mary Katherine" but was worried about the Mary Kate Olsen or Mary Katherine Gallaghar reference but apparently I was the only one who thought those things.

No. Should it?

Oh, and FWIW, I think Rosalie is a great twist on a traditional name. And it's a classic name in and of itself and isn't heard often anymore Good name.

It's a Shakespeare name, if I remember correctly, so that's what I think about first, even though I've read Twilight. I don't think that character was popular enough that it ruins the name. Bella, on the other hand...

I thought Twilight, but only because you asked

Just hearing the name I wouldn't have made the connection.

I love the name and agree with Teacherjess, it's not like you picked "Bella", I don't think there'd be a huge Twilight connection.

Nope, no connection here.

I don't recognize it, but in looking at the other books, it sounds like I'd need to read twilight to recognize it . I think it's a very sweet name and it goes well with your current DD's name, which is super cute.

No, but I've never read a single book in the Twilight series.

I HAVE read the Twilight books and didn't make the connection. (I'm not really a fan, though.) I think it's a beautiful name.

I don't think it will matter a bit. I think that no matter what name you choose, there is going to be someone who will associate it with something. For example, I see your daughter's name is Silvia. I love the name Silvia (it's my brother's GF's name), but upon hearing the name, my dad starts singing the old song "Silvia's Mother." LOL!

Whitney DD

Thanks ladies. Now I just have to find a middle name I like with it.

I didn't make the connection until read all the previous posts, and I've read the series!

My niece's name is Gabrielle Rosalie.  I think Rosalie is a beautiful name.
