what do you think of the name Rosie?

[smother]

I'd be very grateful for your thoughts on the name Rosie. I'm assuming that it is univerally adored - am I right??

Oh, Rosie - you found me!

I love the name Rosie. I have it for one off my characters in my book as a fullname. I think it sutis well for bouth a child and an adult. :)
I think Rose is nice also but to common and a bit boring so that is why I prefer Rosie instead.

I love Rosie. I always wanted to name my daughter Rosie but sister in law got in there first as a middle name. She also used my planned middle name as a first name .

I know two adult Rosie's and I think they suit it. Not too twee imo.

I like Rosie as a shortening - as others have said above.

My favourite full "Rose-something" name is Rosanna. Do you like this instead? Much less common.

Rosie is ok but it sort of reminds me of a rag doll. Possibly because of Rosie and Jim and also because of a diabolical CBeebies program with someone called Rosie in it. She might not be a doll, but is a cartoon with colourful hair and looks a bit doll-like.

I do really love the name Rose though, and I don't hear it very often as a first name.

What about Primrose? Rose is lovely, Rosie sounds twee ( but nice) to me.

I've got a fog called Rosie, it's an ace name!

Dog, even

It makes me think of that M&S model Rosie double barrel surname. FWIW I like it. Call her Rosamund/ Rosalind/ Rosanna and nn Rosie

Rosie is v pretty but maybe better for young girls than a professional woman!

How about Rosanna? Nn Rose/Rosie? Then she can choose what she prefers as she grows up.

Rosanna?

Should have read all posts but Rosanna is lovely.

Zombie thread - OP posted 2009!

I had a cool and beautiful friend who went by Rosy, short for Rosanna. Absolutely disagree that you cannot rock this name as an adult. She did.

I know an adult Rosie.
Deputy head. She's never once mentioned anything negative about her name.

Love it

Love it. Easy to spell and say, and timeless too.

As dull as it is possible to be.

Oops! Bloody zombie resurrecters!

I love Rosie. I'm not keen on the more frilly, longer versions and I prefer Rosie to Rose.

i prefer Rosa tbh. Rosie kind of makes me think of a rabbit? no idea why

I know this thread is old, but I love the name :)

I know a Spanish girl called Rosanna whose nn is Rosie. I think it works best as a shortened version of a given name.
