[Opinions] Rosemary
Replies
I think it's an extremely feminine name. Nothing wrong with being feminine of course, but this is just too much of a good thing. It's prissy.
I might have loved this name if it wasn't for the fact that I have a friend named Rosemary, and for her personality it is so sickeningly sweet on her. She's blond and freckly and always has her head in the clouds, and I know her mom was going for the Little House on the Prairie feel (think of a Luna Lovegood type personality). Most people call her Rosie these days. I've always called her Rose. Once again, on her, it seems too sickeningly sweet to me. I might like it better on the right person though. I've heard of a hispanic girl by this name that I thought was lovely on. But I prefer the Hispanic Rosario. I've never seen Mary as a natural nn for Rosemary. I prefer Rose. I adore the nn Romy though, which has been long forgotten.
It's my name but I've only recently come to appreciate it. I can't see it becoming popular.
I personally hate the name Mary and am not keen on Rosie either although some people do call me Rosie. I generally get called Ro (my fave nickname) or Rose. A girl at school called Rosemary went by the nickname Romy with her family.
I don't like Mary Rose. I just think of Henry VIII's warship.

Rosemary has a creepy vibe to me, because of the book and film "Rosemary's Baby". I like the book and the movie, but they give the name that vibe for me.
I really should get round to seeing that film! I know somebody once made a joke saying if I had a baby it would be Rosemary's Baby.
Oh, is your name Rosemary? I hope I didn't offend. There's nothing inherently wrong with the name itself, it's just a personal thing to me. But yeah, you should see the movie, it's very good.
No you didn't offend me! Very few people ever comment on it but I feel that I should see it before I have kids at least so I know the reference.
I love Rosemary. It's among my favorite female names.
I don't see it getting popular anytime soon.
My favorite nicknames for it are Rose and Rosy.
I strongly prefer Rosemary to Mary Rose.
