I love this name, but unfortunately children often have trouble with spelling this name. It's very cute, though. I really love it. The bad thing about it is (like I said) children often have trouble with spelling this name.

Nostalgic 2000 name. Maybe it just seems old and dated to some because of not so elderly people that they have met or known in the recent past?

I love it as a nickname for Rose, Rosalie, Rosanne. I’m not sure I’d use it as a given name but it is super cute.

What's not to love about a little girl/old lady named Rosie? It's only the 30 year old woman Rosie I'm not too sure about. Rose is super pretty as well.

I really like it, it's cute and old fashioned, I think it ages well and I like it best as a legal name, it is not immature, it's not boring, it's a name for a strong beautiful loving and caring girl.

The most beautiful and gorgeous name I have ever known. It’s feminine, pretty and is based on the most gorgeous and romantic flower - the rose! Our lovely dog is called Rosie. I also know a famous model called Rosie, who is Joe Wicks ‘the Body Coach’s’ wife. I know of only one person called Rosie and she has a lovely bubbly personality and is so caring and kind.

I think it's a cute nickname for Rose but definitely not good as a full name.

I think Rosie is a really nice name. It sounds really gentle and feminine, yet strong at the same time. I, personally, think it ages pretty well. I think it would suit a girly-girl beautifully, and I honestly think it would be really cute and sweet for a tomboy, as well ;)
Overall, I think Rosie is a gorgeous name.

The name sounds nice, but it is too childish. For proof, I can imagine a 5-year-old with this name, but not an adult.

The “ring around the Rosie” song actually started from the Black Death. The people believed that disease was caused by a bad smell “miasma”. That’s why the lyrics mention sneezing, ashes and roses.
(The Black Death was a disease from rats that might have started in China and spread to the UK. It was called the Black Death because the sufferer's skin would blacken due to subepidermal hemorrhages)

I wanted to call my younger daughter Rosanna, Rosie for short, but her father doesn't believe in shortening a name and I didn't want to listen to 'her name's Rosanna, not Rosie' for the rest of my life, so we settled on Rosie as her name. However, she thought Rosie was too childish and legally changed it to Rosana as soon as she was 16.

Rosie Ruiz is a Cuban American runner who took part in the 1980 Boston Marathon, easily achieving a new female record in the competition and the third best female time in marathons altogether.
She was quickly disqualified however, when it was revealed (in addition to other severe reasons of doubt) that witnesses had seen her join the run from the sidelines under a mile before the finishing line. Later on it was found out that Ruiz had also cheated on the marathon that had qualified her for the Boston race, that time by pretending to be injured and then taking the subway to the goal.

This is my name, and I really like it! Although a lot of people say it's just a nickname, I think it is just as good as a first name too. Reminds me of the name Rose, but I think Rosie sounds nicer and is not as overused.

A famous fictional bearer would be Rosie the Riveter, a character partially made popular by artist Norman Rockwell during World War Two. She was intended to represent feminism and woman's importance in factories making things for the war effort. The character actually originated in 1942 in a song by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb in which Rosie was described as a determined assembly line worker during WW2. The Rosie in the song is said to be based off of Rosie Bonavitas, a woman from California.

I once knew a girl called Rosie. She pronounced it RO-see (see as in the letter C) not RO-zee to make it sound softer.
Personally, I wouldn't pronounce it as RO-see as it leaves a gap between the o and the s, and there is a teasing possibility - the nickname "Roce" rhymes with gross so RO-see = gross-ie. Another teasing possibility is that "Roce" sounds a bit like Roach, so RO-see the Roach or Roachie.
RO-zee, even though it has a harsher sound to it, it runs more smoothly, and sounds better. If you prefer the RO-see pronunciation I suggest altering the spelling to Rocie or Roacey to avoid pronunciation mistakes.
