I found that it a lot more painful to have named a child a name you don’t like than dealing with backlash from family after not giving your child the name they expected.
My first baby wasn’t named after family.
The first 2 years the family made a stink out of it and it made me sad but I got over it and we still love her name.
My second I named after family because I didn’t want to deal with the backlash. I thought the name would grow on me.
To this day I hate the name. I call him a nickname but whenever I need to use his legal name or I hear him called to Torah it feels like a stab.
We spoke to a rav about changing his name when he was a few months old and he advised against it.
Please name your baby a name that you like.

There’s nothing wrong with raizy and no one would call her “crazy raizy” regularly. Maybe as a joke here and there but people aren’t going to walk around calling her crazy as her actual name.
Is raizy the coolest name? No- it’s not modern or one of the hip names of today. But if you or your husband had warm feelings towards this grandmother it’s a really nice thing to do and in my experience , when you name for this reason, which is well meaning and to carry forward the soul of the person, the name grows on you.
Btw my sisters name is raizy and she’s the most amazing person ever - beautiful inside and out, and the most caring, best wife mom and aunt. Best sister . Because of her I adore the name ! Name has associations
And no one besides me and my other sisters called her crazy raizy and if we did it was in a blue moon and always as an affectionate joke 😀

I'm so happy to hear that most raizys aren't called that! I guess it's really my association with the name that's bothering me. Thanks everyone for your input!

Shoshana has nothing to do with raizel, I’m so confused.
Rose, roiza, are half ways connected to shoshana, but not raizel.

Why not?
In what way is raizel different than rose and roiza?

Let them ask a million questions. They'll get over it.

I had the same exact reaction when my husband wanted to name our daughter Raizel. I opted to focus on what a beautiful name it is, and now all these years later I am so glad. She is my sweet Raizel and I love her name.
ETA: I forgot to mention I had a bad association with the name because of a student named Raizy I had difficulty with. My husband said to forget the student and move on, and I'm glad I did. By now I've completely forgotten about it except when discussions like this come up.

Reizel and Roiza are two different names and two different meanings.
Roizy is a rose so it is shoshana.
Reizel is a different word, it doesn't mean rose.

In any case, Shoshana is a very accepted alternative to Raizel.

Two variations of the same word. Some consider it to still be one name (I.e. would choose one over the other for preference), some consider it to be completely separate. But both mean rose.
I’d like to think I know what my name means…

Omg this is totally incorrect.
It’s the opposite. Raizel is Yiddish for Rose. Shoshana is the Hebrew for raizel.
Roiza is not as obvious as raizel but it also means rose. But raizel is the well known obvious yiddish version of shoshana (Hebrew) and rose (English)

You're both right and wrong. Raizel and Roiza both mean rose, but unlike I had been told most of my life it appears that Shoshana in lashon kodesh actually means lily- not rose. I heard this literally only a few years ago. That's why it's k'shoshana bein hachochim- a rose grows between the thorns naturally but a lily doesn't belong their. It's like a sheep between wolves (like the passuk continues) not a natural state of being. In modern hebrew it is used for rose but if you're going by lashon kodesh it is not the same.
