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

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

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.

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).

I like it.

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

I know a lovely young woman called Rosie Smile.

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

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.

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.

LadyB49 · 18/01/2016 14:42

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

Junosmum · 18/01/2016 14:36

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

NuggetofPurestGreen · 18/01/2016 14:31

My mums name so I love it Smile

Sophronia · 18/01/2016 14:30

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

Iwantakitchen · 18/01/2016 14:29

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

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?
