Tammie wrote: "Is Rosalin close enough for a main character name like a flower?"Hi Tammie,
Rosalin is not that close to Rose-unless they use is as a nickname? If she is called Rose at anytime then I'd say yes, but otherwise no.
Here is a link for flowers that may help....I also added this to the suggestions thread!
