Re: Rosie
in reply to a message by Lily
In order of preference...
Rosemary - lovely look and sound; I visualize bees quietly at work among the blossoms of a rosemary hedge, in the golden light of late afternoon, with the fragrance of rosemary on the breeze...a scene I have witnessed many times.
Rosaline - I enjoy your pronunciation and find this both sweet and elegant
Rose - simple and lovely
Mary Rose - I prefer without a hyphen; I think you'll end up correcting people regardless, but it's worth it for a name you love, this has a timelessness I enjoy
Lily Rose - for me, this is "flower flower" or "noun noun"
Rosie - nice as a nickname
