HelpRosemary, Primrose, or Rosalind?
Which one and why :) thanks! Keep in mind I also like very uncommon names usually.

I think Rosemary is the best. Rosalind is second. Primrose makes me want to vomit.

Primrose does less than nothing for me: I just think of the wife of a medical serial killer in the UK who was given, and actually wore, the jewellery her husband stole from his dead victims. And Rosalind is good for the Shakespeare associations, but unfortunately my personal asociations outweigh them. So with mild regret I must reject Rosalind.
Rosemary is a lovely name and one that, given enough daughters, I'd have happily used. But I'd have been more likely to use Rosamond!

Ohh this one is tough because I really like all of this names :). At the moment I would choose Rosalind. But the most uncommon is definitely Primrose.

Rosemary, then Rosalind.
I'm definitely not a fan of Primrose.
I love Rosemary nn Molly, it has been on my list for years.

Rosalind!
I find Rosemary a bit too old and musty for me, and Primrose just sound prissy. Rosalind is romantic and dignified, which I love.

Rosemary - I'm not sure why but I love it. Rosalind is okay. Primrose is okay as a GP but the prim part makes it sounds too snooty, I don't know if that is the word but gives off a vibe I don't like.

I think it's the most beautiful. Primrose doesn't really seem like a name to me, and I don't care for the sound of Rosalind.

Just because it's a darling name.

Rosalind
Something about Rosalind just glows. It's uncommon, elegant, and beautiful. Rosalind seems so versitile, too. It's delicate but edgy, refined but earthy, sweet but somehow a little dark all at the same time.
Rosemary is also lovely, but it sounds too "foody" to me sometimes. I find Primrose ridiculous. It's a great name for a fairy perched on a mushroom, but I think it would be diminishing on any human being over age 2.

Primrose...
Primrose feels fresh and novel to me, and therefore much less stuffy than, say, Rosalind.

Rosemary first. I like it a lot.
Second place goes to Rosalind. I don't like it as much as Rosemary, but it's still nice.
I don't care for Primrose.

I don't like the "lind" part of Rosalind and Rosemary feels heavy to me. Primrose is a little more "out there" but a lot lighter and fresher than Rosemary.

Rosalind. It has a dark, romantic edge the other names don't have.

I had a great-aunt named Rosemary, and it's my sister's confirmation name. It's very pretty.

I love Rosemary a lot. It ages well, has lots of sweet nicknames (my favorite is Romy because it gives it some spunk), and I like the remembrance association.
Rosalind would be my next choice.
I adore Primrose, and as a mn option it would be my number one choice of the three. I think it is a bit precious sounding to be used as a fn though.

Lol, these were my top three for my daughter. I had a horrible time choosing, but ended up choosing Rosemary. But I think I wish I had chosen Rosalind now having lived with Rosemary for 19 months.

Rosemary, because of the herb and because I love both Rose and Mary separately.
-or-
Primrose, because there is something sweet about it. I believe that's partially due to an association with The Hunger Games character.
Not as fond of Rosalind today, although she is lovely as well.
Also-- I think that Primrose would be the most uncommon out of the three, with Rosalind in second.

IRL it would be Primrose because I know a Rosemary who isn't the nicest and the LIND part of Roaslind isn't a great sound to me.
In dream life it would be a tie between Primrose and Rosemary.

Rosemary, I suppose. Mostly just for the character in 'The Giver' XP
