HelpRe: i think this is your hormones talking for you...
in reply to a message by anxiolytics
I'm just wondering if it seems southern/countryish, because you live in the South? Because I think pretty much any name said in a thick Southern accent sounds southern. If not, maybe it's just because there are a lot of southern names that use Leigh or Lee in the female form, sometimes just as a pet name.
I think Rosalie will sound different in different accents, in different places. If you say it the way you want it to be said, and keep reiterating that point then those that are close to her will say it the way you do.
However if you really don't love the name, good luck in your quest. :)

I don't live in the south but am from VA-so yes, the -lee thing does have a southern feel to it for me. I am living in MA now, and I/no one around me has a southern accent, but my MIL (in Va) was the first, of course, to call her Rosa Lee. You can imagine how long it took her to get Saoirse right!!!!!
I don't know that I love the name anymore-but my mother suggested calling her by both names. All the names I have suggested to my Dh that end in A he has vetoed-so I do feel rather stuck with it in that I suggested it and agreed to it and now he won't entertain changing it to anything but Violet. so I DO need to decide if I'd rather call her Violet, or try to call her Rosalie Violet, or just call her Rosalie.
Fwiw, I've gotten numerous compliments on her name, which may help me get though this rough patch and remember eventually why I thought it was an option!
