just curious: the nickname rosie?

tct1219

i have always loved the names rosaline and rosemary but with the insanely popular middle name of rose and the rise in botanical names, do you think the nickname rosie will be common soon? of course, if it continues to rise as a middle name, maybe it will decrease in popularity as a first name.

what are your thoughts? if you met a girl who went by rosie would it seem blah [as in overused] to you or cute/ refreshing?

eta: thank you for the replies!

I think Rosie is adorable.  I don't foresee it becoming a popular FN any time soon, but that's just my guess..

I immediately think O'Donnell.

Just my first thought.. not necessarily bad. Just what first pops in my head.

It's cute, and there are lots of options for a more "adult" name besides Rosaline and Rosemary. 

And reading the minds of future posters.. Rosie O'Donnell's 15 minutes of fame have nearly run out.. so that doesn't bother me.  She'll be obsolete soon enough.

I like it, especially as a nickname for a name like Rosemary or Rosalind that could be used formally.

Its my neighbors dog name,  That is all I can think of. Sorry.

I have a student named Rosalia and she goes by Rosie.  My Mom's mn is Rose and her nn is Rosie.  My great-grandmother's name was Rose; nn Rosie.  I think it's cute.

I don't love the nn Rosie. I personaly love the name Rosalie but would prefer just Rose for the nn.

I really like it.

I love Rosie as a nm. I would use it. She can always go by her given name later in life so it look more professional.

IDK,  but I LOVE the name Rosemary.  I think Rosie is an adorable nn and honestly don't see it becoming overly popular anytime soon.

Rosie is a precious nn )

I would find it refreshing and so cute.

I don't know any child who goes by Rosie, but I know a few who have Rose-- names. I don't think it's very popular though.

My baby's doll's name is Rosie.

Agreed. If we had a second girl I would name her Rosemary in a heartbeat...except our last name ends in -rosa. Grr. I guess Josie and Rosie would be too cutesy anyhow.

I don't think it will be that popular, TBH. I think Rose is just the Marie of this generation, relegated to MN status only.

I like Rosie on a little girl. I have a friend who named her DD Rose and they call her Rosie.

I don't know any other little girls who could use the nn Rosie.

Rosie, or Rosilyn are on our short list. So I like it, hopefully we are the only two so it wont be overused LOL. We wanted to call her Rosie (if its a girl) , and then tried to build a full name we could use Rosie as a nickname. We like it so much, we might just go with Rosie.

My grandmothers name was Rosaleen, everyone called her Rose except my grandfather who called her Rosie. I think it's beautiful!

I love Rosie.  It's so cute.  I love the name Rosalie, and if we ever used it, her nn would be Rosie.
