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!
