It sounds quite childish to me, but I think it'd still work, since lots of names have that feel to them (Daisy, Lily, Mollie etc.)I prefer the spelling Rosy though._____________________________________________________________________"There are few more distressing sights than that

Rosie-cute name

I like Rosie as a nn but if you don't like Rose, you could use it as a nn for something else. Of your combos I like Lila Maeve a lot- Rosalyn Bronwen or Rosalind Bronwen nn Rosie are great imo.

My sister is a Rosy, I don't like or dislike it a great deal, it's just a name I'm completely comfortable with. In her case, it's short for Rosemary Anne.Sarah

James calls Treasure Rosie because he calls me Roses because my middle name is Rose and Treasure looks like me. hehe. Got that?Alice and Jack are nms. Too plain. Rose is my favourite of my middle names, but not my favourite flower name by far.Parents: Alec Joseph & Lydia Bridget -neither name is my style.Rosie Bronwen -like
Grace Edith -like Grace..especially as a first name
Lila Maeve -love Lila. Not too keenon Maeve.
Eamon Alasdair -Like Alasdair only.
Duncan Hamish -My nephew's mn is Laedon Hamish. That makes it okay for me, but neither name is really my style.-Seda*

It's too nickname-y for me. I love it as a nn, though. I like Rose on its own, moreso as a fn than a mn, but I also love Rosanna, Rosalind, Rosemary, and Rosalie--all of which could have Rosie as a nn. BTW, I have a friend named Rose Ann (her fn and mn) who goes by Rosie, but I also have a friend with a dog named Rosie. :b So since I haven't seen my friend Rosie in a while, but I hear my friend Veronica talking about her DOG Rosie all the time now, I'm starting to see it as more of a pet's name. :(Alice, Jack and Rose are wonderful together imo. Rosie Bronwen - doesn't flow imo
Grace Edith - ok
Lila Maeve - very pretty
Eamon Alasdair - great!
Duncan Hamish - great!

I love the name Rosie, it's great. I like just Rosie, I don't think that it has to be a nn for another name. I do love Rose aswell though. Out of the family you had I like/love the names Joseph, Lydia Bridget, Rosie, Grace, Lila Maeve and Hamish.

I like Rose (also Rosemary, Rosemarie) but not Rosie. I picture a freckled faced preteen with frizzy red hair. I don't think it captures the sweetness and feminity of Rose. Alice, Jack and Rose go very well together. Parents: Alec Joseph & Lydia Bridget - Like Alec Joseph. Lydia is so pretty and exotic sounding while Bridget is much more plain. I don't like them together.Rosie Bronwen - names go together
Grace Edith - love Grace; Edith is so dated and unpretty (and ungraceful)
Lila Maeve - very pretty, gorgeous
Eamon Alasdair - very Gaelic, I like it
Duncan Hamish - I like it as well

I think Rosie is adorable! I understand what people are saying about naming her Rose and calling her Rosie though, only because I liked Annie as a first name, and I got the same about naming her Anne or Anna instead. It irritated me at first, but then I thought about it and figured there was a point, like if she was an attorney or something she may not be taken as seriously as if she had a more mature name. So, we skipped it all together and went with Laura. Rosie is cute though.... Good luck.

I have a young (15) acquaintance named Maria Rose, she's commonly called Rosie. Since she's tall and model-beautiful, that's what comes to mind when i hear the name.

Rosie is very immature sounding and much too nickname-y. It can cause confusion, and it won't age well. Aside from Rose, Rosemary and Rose Marie would work.

Rosie was the name of my first doll, so it has sentimental value for me. If I were to actually use it I would name my daughter Rose and just call her Rosie so that she has a more substantial name when she's older.
Parents: Alec Joseph & Lydia Bridget: Alec is very nice, Joseph is nms, Lydia Bridget is pretty.Rosie Bronwen: Bronwen Rose would flow a bit better
Grace Edith: Both names are nms
Lila Maeve: Very pretty
Eamon Alasdair: Very nice, although I prefer Alistair
Duncan Hamish: Both names are nms

I REALLY dislike Rosie as a full name. It makes me cringe. Rosalia is a favorite name of mine. Do you like Rosalia or Rosalie? Rosalia/Rosalie Bronwen sounds nice, but NOT Rosie!
The parents names are good too, except I only like Alec as a nickname for Aleksander.
Edith Grace flows better imo.
I really don't like Maeve because of its meaning. Lila is nice, though
Really don't like Eamon and Alasdair.
