I love Rosemary. It's a beautiful name and I like that it has a lot of nickname options (Rose, Rosy/Rosie, Romy, Rory, Mary, etc.).

Rosemary is among my top ten girl names.

I love the name Rosemary. I think both Rose and Mary are lovely names, but I don't like the different meanings for Mary when it's on it's own. This way, you get to use both names and have a nice meaning! I think Rosie is a cute nn.

I think its cute. Its not an old-lady name that seems stuck in old-ladydom to me...I agree with you about the nickname potential, and I think Rosie is very sweet for a young girl, and Rosemary is nice and classic for a young lady.

I love Rosemary.

I absolutely love Rosemary. I think it's long overdue for a comeback. If other combination-names are popping up (Annabelle, Juliana, etc.), why shouldn't Rosemary? Plus, it's got endless nicknames: Rosie, Romy, Rose, Mary, Mamie, Maisie, Roma, you might even be able to pull off Mia.

It's my name and when I was younger I didn't like it because I thought it was a bit old lady-ish. However, lately many people have complimented me on it. And older names are very much in vogue over here. I now like it and it's nice not to be a Vicky, Nicki, Karen, Sarah, Emma etc just like all the other people my age!

There are also a few nickname options. I get called Ro by my close family and friends, Rose by some colleagues and older family members and Rosie by my old school friends (even though I don't like it) and a few people who just take it upon themselves to call me that. I always introduce myself to people as Rosemary.

I love this name I see it as fresh and youthful, Its Feminine without being cutsey, and strong without losing its beauty.
