Marie is lovely. I think it has a lot of understated beauty to it.

---

I love Rosemarie and Rosemary is also nice.

Marie is my grandma's name too and I definitely want to use it too, even though it is a basic filler name. It's my middle name and several of my cousins' middle names. I'll probably use it as a middle name too with my other grandma's name Genevieve Marie, if I ever have a daughter. I also really like Rosemary and Rosemarie. They are both really high on my favorite's list.

Rosemary is lovely. How about Marigold?

I think it’s pretty and quite distinctive these days. I prefer it to Mary.

Like most basic mns, it is fresh and interesting as a fn. So you could use Marie by itself, or Maryrose instead of Rosemary for another twist. I rather enjoy Maryrose!

I like it. It might seem plain to some, but I enjoy its unpretending modesty. It’s better than Mary and Martha, at least.

Rosemarie is lovely, and it definitely works!

I love Marie and Rosemarie as first names. Marie-Rose is also charming. Yes, it is almost always tiresome in the middle name position. I can’t think of any exceptions besides Anne Marie, Genevieve Marie, Grace Marie, and Rose Marie.

Very Pretty! I say use it as a first name!

---

Rosemarie is very pretty, and it isn't like the Rosemary spice (Rosemary is also very pretty.), so I would go with Rosemarie. Maybe Marie Rose?

Personally I can't stand Marie bc it seems so lazy. Like, oh, can't think of anything, might as well use this name everyone uses! That said it is delightfully Catholic.

---

If it has personal meaning to you use it no matter what anyone says. I like Rosemarie because it stands out from the crowd.

I actually really like Marie. It reminds me of "The Nutcracker" which I love (in different versions of it the girl is named either Clara, Marie, Mary, Maria or Maria nn Masha or Mascha). It makes me think of winter which is nice.

---

I wouldn't use it because I'm French/German and here it is not only THE middle name (even though I believe Sophie is more common) but also a really common first name.

---

However in the US I feel it is hardly used as a middle name anymore. I see Rose and Grace way more often, I feel Marie was THE middle name before circa 1990.

---

I like Marie as a first name. As a middle name Rosemarie is also nice. I feel like Rosemary is not really honoring her because the Marie is missing.

---

Suggestions:

---

Heidemarie
Annemarie
Evamarie
Annamarie

Marie is actually a very pretty name. It gets shunted to the middle so often that it's lost a bit of sparkle, but it's really very sprightly! I like it much better than Mary.

I think Rosemarie would be a great way to honour your grandma.

Rosemary and Rosemarie are both lovely names and a good way of honouring your grandma.

I think it is lovely and honour names are so special, others Anne Marie, marielle, mariella, Marietta, mariellen
