Rosemary is a bit more refreshing.

Both!

---

LOL maybe not.

---

I like Rosemary mainly for the nn Romy, but Rose is simple and sweet and my favourite name of all time.

---

I prefer Rosemary Kate though, because Rose needs a middle name that doesn't have the emphasis on the first syllable. But Eleanor is gorgeous though.

---

My current combo is Rose Cordelia, but I have been toying with Rose Jessenia.

---

Rose Antonia
Rose Adelaide
Rose Ophelia
Rose Adeline

---

I think Rosemary Pearl is cute.
Rosemary Frances
Rosemary Claire

---

Sorry, I'm really not doing well for combos today.

Rosemary

---

More nn options (Romy, Rosie, Rose etc), I like the sound better. I think with Rosemary you can easily switch back and forward between the two names (Rose and Rosemary), so theres no need to choose between them- with Rosemary you get both.

---

Both combos are lovely.

Rosemary is way better. Everyone seems to rave about Rose, but I find it dated and boring. Rosemary Eleanor is gorgeous.

I dislike Rosemary on a little girl, so: Rose.

---

Rose Eleanor is better than Rosemary Kate. Rose Eleanor flows better.
But I'd prefer Elinor, it doesn't look so old-fashioned.

Rosemary -- Rosemary Kate

---

Other Rosemary combos

---

Rosemary Talia
Rosemary Sabina
Rosemary Celine
Rosemary Adeline
Rosemary Victoria

---

:0)

My name is Rosemary but I have to say I prefer Rose. These days, Rosemary just feels too dated to use.

---

Rosemary Kate flows better. But I like Rose Eleanor and also Eleanor Rose.

Rosalie

---

I like Rosalie, Rosita or Rosalia.

---

I like: Rose Ella

I'd have to go with Rosemary. I think both are nice, but Rose seems better suited as a MN imo, while Rosemary can go either way (it seems a bit more 'complete' too). Rosemary Kate is my favorite of the two, hands down. I think the combo is so classy, and I especially love Kate!

How ABout Katherine Rose?
I like Rose the best, probably as a middle name.

---

Eleanor Rose is nice

I think both names are lovely, but I'd be more inclined to go with Rosemary as I also love the name Mary, but dislike it's meaning. Here I would get to use it and it takes on a new and nicer meaning! Rosemary Kate is perfect, I absolutely love it.

Rosemary.

---

Rose is boring, but Rosemary is pretty.

I've rather recently started liking Rosemary too. I like Rosemary best, although if you love Rose you could of course have it for a nickname.

---

Rosemary Kate is very nice. I love Eleanor, but Rose Eleanor just doesn't appeal to me as much.

---

Rosemary Augusta
Rosemary Bridget
Rosemary Fiona
Rosemary Juliet
Rosemary Olwen (ooh, I think I just finally found my Olwen combo if I switch those around!)
Rosemary Violet

Ooh that's a tough one...

---

both are so lovely you couldn't go wrong! I think if I had to choose, it would be Rose Eleanor

I prefer Rose Eleanor.

---

Rose Catherine
Rose Elisabeth
Rose Eloise
Rose Meredith
Rose Gabrielle
Rose Jacqueline
Rose Christina
Rose Felicity
Rose Julia

Going by the combos, Rose Eleanor.

I prefer Rose, I don't like the way Rosemary looks.

---

Rose Beatrice is lovely.

I actually prefer Rose as a name, but I think Rose works better as a middle name for girls and Rosemary might work better as a first name. Its hard to get good combos starting with Rose maybe, but easier to match it as a mn to other first names.

---

I think if you switched to Eleanor Rose it would flow better imo.

---

So of the two I prefer Rosemary Kate

---

Have you also considered Roseanne and Rosalind?

---

I prefer Rose to Rosemary as I love how it is simple and yet classy at the same time. However, as a combo I prefer Rosemary Kate because it flows better than Rose Eleanor. Rose is very hard to find mns for which I guess is why it is more often used as a mn itself. I can only think of:

---

Rose Felicity
Rose Kathleen
Rose Wilhelmina
Rose Ebony
Rose Winifred
Rose Marcella
Rose Veronica
Rose Anita

---

S xx

---

I love both! I'm constantly going back and forth as far as which one I prefer. At present, Rose is ahead, but that could change at any time.

---

I prefer Rose Eleanor to Rosemary Kate.

---

These are my favorite combos with the names...

---

Rose Amabel, Rose Amélie, Rose Delphine, Rose Eleonora/Eleanora, Rose Lenore, Rose Mathilde, Rose Melisande, Rose Tehani, Rose Viviane, Rose Vivienne

---

Rosemary Adele, Rosemary Blythe, Rosemary Colette, Rosemary Delphine, Rosemary Glynis, Rosemary Helene, Rosemary Hesper, Rosemary Lenore

I don't know

---

I don't know about good middle names, since people always seem to use Rose as a middle name.

I like both. My great-grandmother was named Rose and my recently-deceased great-aunt (her daughter) was named Rosemary. So both are special to me.

I adore Rosemary and Rosemary Kate is lovely.

---

Eleanor is nice, just not sure it fits with either Rosemary or Rose.
