My baby girl is one week old today. We named her Rosalie Jade, ready to deal with the "omg lyk frum Twilight?!?! you must be totally obsessed with the books!!!1" comments.

WDYT? Surprisingly, I haven't received a single Twilight comment which has saved me a lot of headache. Are people just being nice and not saying anything, or is the connection not as obvious as I thought it was? If you're familiar with the books, do you instantly think Twilight when you hear the name Rosalie?

Rosalie is not synonymous with twilight. Might be different if Twilight has invented the name or something, like Renesmee.

Even people who are twilight fans today will not be thinking about the name by the time your girl is heading to school.

exactly, that's why we didn't veto the name because of the twilight coincidence.

Apparently it is a mash up of Esme + Renee and is pronounced Reh-ness-may. I think. I could be wrong. (I couldn't stand the series long enough to commit it to memory).

Renee is Bella's mom, Esme her mother in law, sort to speak. The idea was sweet enough, but it did make a horrendous name. Thankfully they mostly called her Nessie; I hated having to read that name over and over again.
