1. Sounds good though I prefer just Rose to the first name Rosanne or Rosemary
2. Not sure how you are getting the nn Essie from Erica...If you like the nn what about Esme for a first name, Estell(e/a), Esther...or Esmarelda?
3. Not sure how you would pronounce Kiyt...like Kite? but if it is traditional name that is fine
4. Good
5. I like Sunnie or Sunflower nn Sunnie.
6. Good

1. Roseanne makes me think of the TV show with the same name. I tend to think of Roseanne as dark haired with a larger then life errr personality? A la Roseanne Barr/Arnold and Rosie O'Donnell. Rose imo fits your description much better. Rosalie could work too but this name is heavily associated with Twilight.

2. I don't understand the connection here either. Erica works.

3. I looked up the name but wasn't able to find it. Is it South African? I suppose it works...

4. Unsure of the pronunciation...

5. I prefer Sunnie. It could also be an nn for Sunshine.

6. I like Alexandra here. It is such a strong name.


Good luck!

So, at the moment...
1. Rosemary (thank you so much for that! Rosemary works much better )
2. Estella nn Essie (yeah, no idea how I got Essie either )
3. Kiyt is pronouced like kite. It's made-up name . Any suggestions for traditional names? All I can think of is Graça
4. Nieisha is "ny-ee-sha"
5. Sunshine nn Sunnie
6. Alexandra nn Alex

Thank you so much for your help!!
