Rosebrae or Rosebray

Meaning: (Rose = A Flower, A Rose + Brae / Bray = A Hill, Hillside, Slope, Cry Out, Borderland)

Origin: (Scottish, Gaelic, Middle English, Old French, Old English, Latin)

Pronunciation: (Rose: ROHZ Brae/Bray: brAI, so ROHZbrAI)

Gender: Female

I was up visiting my sister, brother-in-law and nephew this last weekend and we went by the old neighborhood where me and my sister grew up. There was a street name a few blocks away called Rosebrae. I had forgotten about that street. I really liked the look of Rosebrae. It has two names I love (Rose & Brae) and they are combined. I thought about it and Rosebray I think I even like more. I have loved the name Bray since I watched this T.V show years ago. Of course Bray was a male characters name and Bray does seem masculine but when put with Rose it is instantly feminized. Rosebrae and Rosebray give off a different feeling with the different spellings and I love that about these names.

I might actually add a post for Bray the masculine form later.
