Giovanna or rosemary?
I like Rosemary Louise.
Reply:Rosemary, I think Giovanna and Guinivere would be a little bit of a mouthful

Reply:Giovanna goes with your other children's names better than Rosemary does.
Reply:Rosemary Louise or possibly Rose Marie Louise??
Reply:i prefer giovanna. its really pretty.
Reply:i like giovanna
Reply:What fabulous names!



I prefer Rosemary Louise, but both options are gorgeous.
Reply:My general preference is definitely Rosemary. ;) While Giovanna is a lovely name, especially assuming Italian heritage, I'm hearing it and the shortened form Gianna a LOT lately, so it seems far more expected a choice than beautiful, old-fashioned Rosemary.



Now knowing your other children are Guinevere, Josephina, and Mathilda, I love it even more! It's perfectly fitting in sound and style and also avoids the repeated initial with Guinevere and identical beginning Jo- sound like Josephina (jo-se-FEEN-a and jo-VAHN-a sound like overly-matchy twin names, know what I mean?).



Guinevere, Josephina, Mathilda and Rosemary, on the other hand, is perfect! ;)
Reply:I think that Giovanna sounds too much like Giovanni and she'd probably get made fun of (if any of the kids in her class knew a boy named Giovanni). You could shorten it to something like Giana...or make that her nickname?



And personally I like Mary-Rose over Rosemary, but the nicknames would be totally interchangable.
Reply:That's tough. I like both quite a lot.



I think I might give a slight edge to Giovanna.
Reply:Rosemary Louise is very pretty. Giovanna is okay but it's too popular right now.
Reply:I think I like Rosemary better. Rosemary is a 6th grader I worked with in Kindergarten.

Reply:Lol, okay I know you didn't suggest this, but I like Rosemary Lenore the best! Rosemary is an awesome name and it looks so pretty when written out.
Reply:Giovanna
Reply:I have always loved Giovanna and Giuliana, but my father in law was Giuseppe and his uncle is Giovanni, so he won't use it.



I really like Giovanna Louise.
Reply:I love the names!!!!!! My favorite is Giovanna Lenore!! Best of luck to you and your family!
Reply:I think that Rosemary fits better with your other children's names. Plus, what could be sweeter than Rosie?
