Added bonus: it rhymes with echinacea.

I think that I hope anyone talking about using it as a name is totally joking.

I believe it's the name of a skin disease (http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/rosacea-topic-overview).

Indeed!

There are a lot of disease names, or pathogen names, that are totally pretty. I was just telling someone that Klebsiella has a pretty sound to it, as does Shigella.

It is a painful and embarrassing skin condition.

LOL! Wouldn't that be a nice sibset?

Uh, I didn't even realize that was how you spelled it, yet my first thought was, like, isn't that like the skin condition?

I am not really a fan of names that are Rose + something else in general.

I honestly don't know. It's hard to pick up on sarcasm in the typed word. And considering what some people name their kids these days, anything is possible!

I associate it with the skin condition, and nothing else--BUT, even if the skin condition didn't exist, I'm just not a fan of the sound of Rosacea. I generally prefer just Rose/Rosa. Adding the "ay-shuh" sound on the end makes it a little clunky, in my humblest of opinions.

[livejournal.com profile] lava_sharks is one of the more subtle trolls (as far as trolling goes)... but yeah.

I don't believe that for a second. I remember you calling people "bitter" and randomly getting all incensed on the behalf of posters who suggest and adore truly, outrageously horrible names. "Don't listen to these snobs! They don't appreciate your uniqueness!" type of crap.

You mean that... wasn't just an act?

It's such a beautiful name! My children are named Scurvy and Dysentery, and I think it would go very nicely with that sibset.
