What do you think of the name Rosy-Doll?

We are expecting a girl and are looking for names that combine the rose and doll theme and we like this choice because it doesn't seem used very much but are worried that it might sound a bit too cutesy.

@FearlessDiva,
What part of the country do you live in?

Is Rosy-Doll the first name? It would be a good nickname, but a 60 year-old woman might not like being called that. Probably just Rose Dolly, then use nicknames.

Rosie and Jim were the names of two puppets who lived on a canal boat called The Old Rag Doll, in a children's TV series.

There may still be clips on YouTube.

BTW, I have a friend called Rosie, I don't think she'd appreciate being called Doll.

@FearlessDiva,
In the end you need to pick a name that you both like as someone is going to pick apart whatever name you choose.

As someone else suggested you do need to remember this name will be used into adulthood so be careful in that respect .... I also know of people who went into adulthood and even younger using their middle name because their first name was not really appropriate or just did not fit them.

The one thing to think about using the word doll as part of her name is as a woman doll is often used in a condensing way toward a woman. The one thing is if she doesn't like it as an adult she found keep Rosy and drop the Doll.

@FearlessDiva,
Doll may sound cute for an infant but even as a toddler, that name is going to get old fast to the person saddled with it.

@FearlessDiva,
Everyone has an opinion and here's mine: at best, too cutesy. Worse yet, I 'd worry it sounds like the name of a sex doll. Sorry!

I think your kid is going to despise it. You're essentially setting her up for teasing.

@FearlessDiva,
I think it's rather generic. What attracts you to roses: the smell, shape, color? What kind of doll interests you: Barbie, baby, China?

Can you infuse some of both elements to reach your desired effect?

@FearlessDiva,
If you really want to piss her off why not just call her Rosy Posy Doll Razz

As an owner of an 'unique' name, please rethink this.

@FearlessDiva,
If you wish to call her "Rosy-Doll", fine. But don't enter it as her name on her birth certificate, just use it within the family as a nickname, one which, I'm sure, she'll wish to outgrow as soon as possible.

I know someone whose father started calling her Ubby while a toddler. Her Mom changed it to Lovey. Over 70 years later, her name is still Lovey to anyone who's known her a long time.

My friend's daughter is called Rosalind, I don't think she gets called that at home, it's either Rosie, Rose Roz or Lin.

It's also Shakespearean, Rosalind is the entrance figure in As You Like It.

How about Rosalind Delores, or Rosemary Delores that way you can call her Rosie Doll at home and when she gets older she can have a range of names to pick for herself.

Yes, but that was a nickname. Her name was Eunice Wentworth Howell.
