Rosie?

[HanSpan1]

What are peoples throughs on Rosie as a full name and not a NN??

Were due in 5 weeks and i like Rosie, my DH likes Isla...

With the middle name of Elizabeth??

Tia

I have a Rosie Elizabeth and love it.

Not too popular, I don't know another around here but not unusual that we have to spell it. It works well and really suits my 4 year old

It's nice but I much prefer Rose.
i think Rose ages far better!
But go for what you love!
Congratulations and good luck

I prefer Rose or Rosa as a name. Though a friend has a DD with Rosie as her full name and it’s fine. I prefer it to Isla which is everywhere at the moment.

I like it better than Rose

I just think it's a bit dull and overused. Isla even more so.

I like Rosie ! I've seen people say it's common on here but I personally don't know of any ! It's sweet . I like it more than Isla

A major very irritating character on The Archers has a baby last week and has named her Rosie. Just as an aside.

I rather like it

Gorgeous- can always be shortened to Rose when she is older.

Lovely !

Rosie is lovely

I prefer Rose. Rosie is too cutesy for my taste, though it's fine for a child.

My bf is Rosie. Beautiful name!

Rosie is lovely.

I like it!

We considered Róisín for a girl, with the intention of shortening it to Rosie for a girl. It didn’t suit our surname really so we gave it the dunt, but might be a good alternative?
I do like Rosie, but we’d worried about the “could they be a plumber, or a high-court judge question - which never really seems to be asked about boys’ names.

I think it is fine when she is small and gorgeous. I am not sure it is a serious adult name tbh, I can’t imagine her being an investment banker, barrister etc with Rosie as her name

Some boys sound unprofessional too.

I know a Rosannah that shortens to Rosie- both lovely names.

I have a Rosie - she's nearly 30 now and still suits her. She manages to adult most days and has a good career with an international firm. She's been a barmaid too. We didn't like Rose - seemed too old fashioned at the time but Rosie just seemed to fit. She was nameless for a few days and I think sometimes the right one just pops into your head!

I prefer Rosie to Rose.
I like Rosa.
Islas are everywhere.

Too cutesy. Can't imagine a 40 year old Rosie.

Rose is so much nicer. Simple and elegant.
Rosie is a guinea pigs name to me.

I like both but Rosie Elizabeth is easier to say than Isla Elizabeth, which has that annoying thing of the vowels running together in the middle. If you do go with Isla, would you consider Isla Rose/Rosie?

Sorry for the +24hr reply to thank everyone, It has been a busy day and i have just managed to sit down and read all your comments. Thankyou, ill let you know what we choose on the day and get to see her before we make that final decision on the name.

I have a wonderful 17 year old dgd named Rosie 🙂
