It looks like an Asian spelled Rosalie wrong or like someone spelled the Catholic concept wrong and then stuck it on a kid. Either way, it's not really working for me.

I think of the beads...

Not unless one is Catholic. But it's pretty.

I like Rosaire (for a boy) or Rosary (for a girl)...
When I see the Rosarie spelling I keep wanting to make it into either: Rose Marie, Rosalie, or Rosario; if used as a first name, people might commonly mistake it for one of those, so I like it better as a mn.
I think Rosarie/Rosary is a surprisingly pretty word name, though. I've never really thought about it before.

Rosarie...Rosaire
I totally read that as Rosaire (thank God I read the other comments) which is a rather uncommon french male name that means rosary and I was about to fan-girl over it because it's amazing and I think it can work for a male first name or maybe a female middle name. Rosaire Thomas, Jude Rosaire, Elizabeth Rosaire, how completely lovely are those?
Rosarie I sounds like a nickname to me, either to Rosario or Rosaria (either can be female, depending on the cultural background) though the emphasis on syllables is a little different. I actually have a great uncle Rosario which I was very happy to find out. Rosarie is pretty and if it wasn't a misspelled word I'd totally jump on that wagon with you, but for me if I had to do use it, I'd do it as Rosaria nn Rosarie. I'm Catholic though, and I know it's not like naming your daughter Chastity but I'd be afraid giving a girl a name that sounds exactly like rosary would have a counter effect while Rosaria doesn't scream rosary and she can still choose to go by Rose or Rosie if she chooses to not want to go by the nickname Rosarie.

I think it could work. It's not that different from Rosalie.

I think Rosary would be an alright name. Kinda neat, actually, if you had a Catholic background. But not Rosarie. It's a misspelled word. Or a typo of Rosalie.
