What are your thoughts on the name Rosemary for a girl? What do you think of the combo Carys Rosemary?

Like Rosemary, not fond of Carys.

I don't love Rosemary. I actually don't really like any Rose names. And I find the R in Carys too close to the R of Rosemary. I don't know, if feels redundant somehow. Sorry.

Well I don't like Carys but I love Rosemary. It is pretty high on my list. It is so beautiful.

Rosemary feels very old fashioned but also very sweet & romantic. I adore it as a middle name, and it does make a nice first name as well.
Carys Rosemary is lovely.

I immediately thought of the movie Rosemary's Baby, so it wouldn't work as a fn for me. However, Carys Rosemary is just lovely. I've always liked the name Carys, and putting Rosemary in the mn slot removes the negative movie connotation, imo.

Just to say, my first name is Rosemary and I think only once has someone mentioned the movie Rosemary's Baby to me. A guy said if I had a baby it would be Rosemary's Baby. I hadn't seen the film at that point but I knew of it. In fact only watched it about a year ago. Maybe people have thought of it but no one has really ever mentioned that to me.

In any case I also prefer Carys Rosemary to Rosemary Carys.

Rosemary is a bit dated but it's fine. I do prefer other Rose- names though, like Rosalind, Rosamond or even just Rose on it's own.

Carys Rosemary is very pretty; I love the name Carys.

It's a little to heavy (?) for me. Like the name just feels heavy. I prefer lighter, airy names. I do like the nickname possibilities. Especially Romy.

Carys Rosemary is okay, but I like Rosemary Carys better.

I like the quiet elegance of Rosemary and the 'remembrance' reference. I'd certainly consider it, though the youngest Rosemary I know is 21. It would fit well into a 1920s or 1930s story, together with Diana, Pamela etc.

Carys Rosemary is OK, but to my eyes and ears Rosemary Carys would work better.

I kinda like it ;-) I love it paired with Carys.
