Re: Rosemary
in reply to a message by Pickles
I really like it. It combines two beautiful, classic names: Rose and Mary. I've had wonderful associations with older women with both those names. It's not hard or unheard of, but also not overused. "Dew of the sea" is a cool meaning. It brings forth thoughts of greenery, freshness, Spring, and nature, the start of something new.
Edit: I thought of more. It's kind of cool that while it is a spice name, it's not just a spice name. There is more depth, it has meaning, it sounds like other names. It also has so many good nicknames, which I'm a sucker for: Ro, Rose, Mary, Romy, Rory, Rosie.
