It's ok as a nn, but childish as a full name.

I think Rosie/Rosy should just be a nickname for Rose

I like Rosie as a cute nickname but when I read Rosy it seems like a little girl's name more than Rosie. I like Rosie more though.

I love Rosy as an occasional nickname for Rosemary.

I think Rosy looks ridiculous.

To be honest, and I think Rosie is silly too. I wouldn't give a child a nick name as a full name.
stick with Rose and call her Rosie if you must.

I think it's fine, but only as a nickname.

I don't think Rosie sounds old, but I would agree that Rosy seems a bit more modern. I think Rosie is really sweet, but I like it only as a nn. One of my favorite relatives is my Great Aunt Rosie. It's short for Rosalie.

I adore Rosy

I don't know why, it looks more old-world to me...like you know how they spelled words just a tad differently in ancient manuscripts..like wif or wyfe for wife? That's what the name Rosy reminds me of. I far prefer it over Rosie. It's charming!

I think Rosie sounds like a little girl's name. I don't like Rosy at all. Doesn't look pretty at all.
