Rose/Rosie?

[Clandy]

Finally got dp to begin to think about baby names last night, one name I left off my list as it doesn't fit our criteria of being a name not a thing was Rosie which I like. Dp however said he liked the name Rose which I was shocked about but relieved there is actually a name out there that he likes! anyway.... Please can I have opinions on these names which do you prefer? Dd nearly 2 is Evie. Thanks

I prefer Rose.

My 20yr old dd is Rose , never Rosie.
Fab name

Won't Rose become a Rosie anyway? DS is 16 and has a few Rosies as friends but I think the are mainly Rosemarys

Hi, We have a Rosie (christened as Rose) so obviously we think it is a lovely name, I guess Rose is a traditional English name and Rosie is more informal and freindly. Our Rosie had rosy cheeks when she was born and my Husnad bought me a bottle of Rose bubbly when she was born and before we had a name. And Rosie and Evie sounds good - we have Rosie, Annie, & Charlie.
Thats my very biased opinion anyway - good luck

I have a Rose too. She used to get called Rosie but now she is nearly 14 she thinks Rose is more mature.

I love Rose - it was going to be DC2s name had he not been a boy .
Very pretty name.

Rose is a fairly common middle name among the DCs that I know, but so pretty as a first name. I would go with Rose and then Rosie as a nn

Rose. The Rosie (she's never Rosemary) in my family is the youngest, smallest, prettiest and even as a married adult cutest of her generation. She just is a Rosie and that's the problem ie endings are a bit cute.
The Susie from collage is Sue in the office.

I'd go with Rose and Rosie as a nn, then she can insist on Rose later in life if she wants to. I think they are both lovely, but Rosie for an adult is a bit too cute and girly, unless it really suits her, iyswim.

Just to give a different idea. I have a third christian name after my grandmother. ROSALIA (pronounced rosa-leah or rose-ah-leah)

We have a Róisín who's known as Rosie. She's little and cutesy now so it suits her perfectly and she has the option of the more serious version when she gets older.

I think it goes very nicely with Evie.

My dgd[11] is Rosie [christened Rosie] she is beautiful,clever and good so of course I love the name :)

I would go with Rose (my DDs middle name but that is irrelevant) - it will inevitably get shortened to Rosie for a young child, but at least with Rose your DD will have some flexibility.

Love Rose, then nn Rosie I have a cousin who is Rosalind if that's any help...

My sis is Rowena, she's always been Rosie as a child /teen but a college became Ro, and has used that since.( we have always pronounced it ro-enna, not roweena)

Agree Rosie for a baby with the option of Rose as a 'grown up' name is great.

Rosa is also a lovely alternative - the couple I've known have always been Rosa not Rosie though.

Rose is stunning. Go with that, you can always nn her Rosie.

Rosie is our choice if this one is a girl ( short for rosemary) at the mo. Evie is my fav name for a second girl... i say go for it... my question is - what are rosies brothers called?

I'd say Rose, definitely. It's a really beautiful name, yet underused in comparison to Rosie, which of course you can have as a nickname if you like it.

I like Rose with Rosie as I nn. I also like Rosa.

Tentative: Rosie doesn't have any brothers!! this one is the last!! Struggling for boys names massively so if this is a boy it may not even get a name...

Don't like Rosemary or others like Rosaline although had not considered a longer option so will run them by DP and see what he thinks. I think I will add both to the list for now! Thanks for taking the time to reply ladies
