Help[Opinions] Re: Rosie
in reply to a message by Lily
My rank (if it were me):
1. Rosemary
2. Rose
3. Rosaline
4. Mary Rose
5. Lily Rose
6. Rosie
I like the idea of Rosie being a nickname rather than a first name... but I don't really like any full first names that are actually nicknames. It feels a little childish. Plus, your daughter may not like being called Rosie. With a more formal first name, at least she a has choice over what she can go by.
Of your options, I like Rosemary best because it's a name people are familiar with, but not a terribly common name. I worry about people having difficult pronouncing Rosaline. I don't particularly love hyphenated names but I don't hate it either. If you're worried about a name being too common, definitely I wouldn't use anything with Lily in it, it is far too common today. I like Mary Rose... have you thought about just spelling it Maryrose? I don't know if people would be confused seeing it written like that but I think it's kind of pretty.
Also, how about Rosemarie?
