I never really liked many Rose-names but lately I've started to like Rosie. I don't want to use it as a full name. I like Rose, Rosaline and Rosemary. I dislike the meaning of Rosaline, though. I like horses but I just wouldn't like to have a name with that meaning as a human being, I guess.

What do you think of Rosie as a nickname?

---

I always had a soft spot for Mary Rose. I guess I could call her Rosie. But I dislike hyphens and wonder whether it would get annoying to correct people and tell them that she is called by both names. Lily Rose is another favorite.

---

Can you rate or rank them in order of preference and maybe comment on them if you have time?

Mary Rose
Lily Rose
Rosaline (I pronounce it ROSE-ah-line)
Rosemary
Rose
Rosie

---

Does anyone here like Rosie as a full name?

---

Do you think names that start with Rose (Rosaline, Rosemary, Rose) work better as full name for Rose than Mary Rose and Lily Rose?

---

How many girls have you met with these names? I'm a bit worried as there are so many Rose names and I have the feeling that at least Rosalie could become a bit common. And then there might be lots of little Rosies around. Opinions?
