Other dub names: A Rosariki by Any Other Name (4Kids); My Name is Pinky (Studio 100)

Rosa stands in front of the mirror and declares that now her name is Cornelia because this name is very noble, pleasant to the ear, and means "smart". She decides to let someone know about this. She passes by Krash and Chiko playing summer hockey and invites them to go with her and learn to play intellectual games.

Later, Krash and Chiko, tired after the game, are sitting on a swing. Suddenly, a cheerful Rosa runs up to them. She declares that her name is now Gioconda, which means "joyful and full of laughter". Her chaotic swinging causes Chiko to fall and declare that he broke his face.

Krash carries his friend along a forest path. Rosa runs towards them and knocks them down. She carries Chiko in her arms, because now her name is Eleanor, which means "compassionate". When the two are sunbathing on the beach, she comes up to them dressed in a warm fur coat, claiming that she's now Inga, which means winter. While fishing, she brings them a basket of apples and announces that her name is Ephraim, which means "fruitful". Chiko reminds her that it's a male name.

Later, Krash and Chiko are looking for mushrooms, and Rosa follows them and announces that her name is Amina, which means "loyalty". Krash snaps and shouts to stop following them. Rosa falls into a puddle, and cries. She realized that she has so many different qualities that need to be displayed in the name that she'll never come up with one name she'll see as perfect. Krash and Chiko promise to help her. They write out the names from the book on a sheet and paste them on the walls. After a few hours, the name was ready, and Krash and Chiko read it, but the name ends up being extremely long. When they finish, they decide to play football. Chiko calls Rosa with him, trying to pronounce her new name, but Rosa interrupts him. She tells her friends that her new full name is too formal, and would prefer to be called Rosa.

Tropes:

  • Cucumber Facial: At the beginning of the episode, Rosa takes off pieces of cucumber from her face in front of the mirror.
  • I Have Many Names: Rosa decides to change her name, and switches between them on the go. Eventually, she finds it difficult to find one that would perfectly describe her, so Krash and Chiko decide to help and give her an Overly Long Name. In the end, she decides to keep an old one.
  • Overly Long Name: Rosa finds it difficult to find a name that would fit all her personality traits, so Krash and Chiko decide to help her come up with a perfect one. The end result is a very long combination of all the names they could find in a book, and Rosa decides that it is too formal and should be referred to by her regular name.
  • Parental Bonus: After he agrees to help Rosa with the name, Krash asks Chiko if he's up to help him and if he can still be called Chiko. The latter replies that you won't go wrong calling him "master". In FUN Union dub it's slightly tamer "Boss", but the implication is similar.
  • The Spiny: Krash falls off the swing and lands on Chiko's spiky hockey helmet.
