What are your thoughts? I love the names Rose and Rosie but thought Rosemary might be more versatile as a full name.
I love the herb Rosemary and like the fact it's a 'flower' name without being too 'girly'.
But... is it too frumpy/middle aged?!

I really really like it

I prefer Rosa, Roisin or Rosanna with Rose or Rosie as nicknames.

Not a fan personally, too old fashioned. And agree with the pp who said it has sinister connotations Confused

I know a few, but they pronounce it as Rose-Marie. Shouldn't it be Rose 'Mary'? That has always confused me and is enough to put me off it.

I like Rosamund or Rosalind. Not so keen on Rosemary.

Rosemary Ann is pretty.

My late mum was called Rosemary.
