Thoughts on the name Rosie

[Summerwood1]

I really like it but don't hear it very often. What do you think?

[Kim82]

I like it.

[clarabellski]

I like it and shortlisted the Irish name Róisín for a girl (little rose). I know a grown up Rosie but no kids so its possibly not that common anymore, if that's what you're looking for?

[Iwantakitchen]

For me it's short for Rosemary or Rosalind or Rosemund. I prefer Rosa if it's for a short name, or Rose.

[Sophronia]

I like it short for Rose or one of the other Ros- names.

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

My mums name so I love it

[Junosmum]

I like it. It was on on my girls short list.

[LadyB49]

Love it. I've heard of quite a few recently, especially Emily Rose...using both names.

[mrsschu]

I have a friend who is Rose, always known as Rosie, she's in her 30's. I don't know any kids with the name. I like it.

[HerdOfRhino]

I like it.

It was number 33 in the popularity chart, with 1,475 girls called Rosie in 2014 (Most recent available statistics), in the UK.

[Adarajames]

I know a lovely young woman called Rosie .

My dog is also called Rosie, she's lovely too!!

[eatyourveg]

Our Rosie is officially a Rosa - once she got to secondary school she chose to use what she considered the more grown up version and only her family and very close friends still call her Rosie

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I like it.

[fieldfare]

I love it, that's why I named my daughter Rosina, but she's generally called Rosie or occasionally Rose (Rosie-posy, rosie-Roo etc).

[MrsDarcy4092]

I am not a fan of Rosie. I find it too sweet. Very cute on a girl under 10 and over 50 but a teenager and into adulthood i am not so sure. Only my opinion though but as everyone else loves it i thought i would offer a dfiferent view point!

There is also a really common trend at the moment to Add the name Rose to other names so i feel its been over used. Rose as name on its own is beautiful and nicknamed Rosie for however long she wants to.

[Lottiedaydreambeliever2014]

I like Rosie. I know an adult Rosie and feel it works for a child and adult.

[YolandiFuckinVisser]

It's my favourite girls name. I know a couple of adult Rosies and they're awesome. My dd is a Rosie, it suits her very well

[ashesandfire]

I like it but much prefer it as a nn... I think Rose, Rosa, Rosalind, Rosanna, Rosalie are all beautiful and could be shortened to Rosie. Lovely :)

[crispytruffle]

I love the name Primrose so really like Rosie too.

[RookieMonster]

My dd is Rosabel nn Rosie. Lovely name, IMHO ;) but I prefer Rosie as a nn rather than a standalone.

[HerdOfRhino]

Oh, Primrose is lovely.

[ollieplimsoles]

I'm a Rosie

As a child I always felt like it was a little bit too 'sweet' which I didn't like because I was a tough cookie- climbing trees and playing football :D but its an easy name to live with and I was complimented many times over it.

It gets shortened to Rose by dh and dsis

[pilates]

I prefer Rose.

[HeadfirstForHalos]

Dd2 is a Rosie so I love it

She also got called Rosie Roo, she is 10 now and all her friends call her Roo. She's only ever met one other Rosie.

[Nectarines]

I love Rosie

[IoraRua]

There's an Irish name Roise (row-sha) which is similar.

I know a toddler Rosie. I think it's cute but I'd be inclined to go with Rose/ Rosanna/ Rosalind etc and use it as a nn.
