Rosie - I think of Rosy as an adjective rather than a name, rosy cheeks.

Rosie

Rosie. As a pp above, rosy would refer to rosy cheeks. It also has the try hard look of trying to be different and the child will probably spend their entire life correcting people of the spelling.
Rosie is a beautiful name

Rosie. As PP said, I also see 'rosy' as an adjective not a name.

Rosie.

I don't know why but if I saw Rosy I would be unsure as to how you expected it to be pronounced, like was it spelt different and said differently? Plus the correcting of spelling issue already mentioned.

Rosie = noun
Rosy = adjective

Rosie to avoid a lifetime of saying "it's Rosie spelt R O S Y"...

Rose. Rosie is a nickname.

My mum's dog was called Rosy and I always thought it was an odd spelling. Rosie is my preference.

SirSamuelVimes · 05/12/2020 00:08

Rose, just use Rosie as a nickname.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/12/2020 00:20

Rose is a beautiful, classic name and suits all ages. Rosie (spelt like this) makes a cute nickname for Rose on a little girl.

Rosie is the usual spelling but it's a nickname.

calimommy · 05/12/2020 01:00

Rose with NN Rosie. Lovely name!

ILoveYoga · 05/12/2020 02:04

Now you know, it’s Rosie. Please don’t burden your child with the incorrect spelling
