Blythe is interesting to me as a middle name. I like it with Rosemarie but prefer Rosemarie Blythe.

I'm not into it as a first name but it would be interesting to see. I'd expect a Blythe to be old and British.

Bly just sounds like a weird onomotapoea, like bleah or blarg.

A school friend had a very elderly great-aunt Blythe whose nn was Bly. She was a dear old lady, but I didn't and don't like the name or the nn.

Not really a fan of Blythe, the sound is not appealing (and I used to associate it with blight). But the combo Blythe Rosemarie is nice. I don’t like Bly at all - it doesn’t look like a real name.

Don't like either

I don't like the sound of "bly" in either name. The "th" at the end of Blythe doesn't soothe it for me.
Blythe Rosemarie is pretty though. Its unexpected.

Blythe Rosemarie is lovely.

Blythe is one of those names that always surprises me in how much I like it, because I never think about it. Whenever I come across it, it feels breezy and refreshing in a sweet vintage way.

Bly feels a little too short for a first name, but I like it as a nickname option. I also like the connection with the classic ghost story The Turn of the Screw (and it's most recent incarnation, The Haunting of Bly Manor).

Bly is a family last name and so I don’t see it as a first name. Blythe screams last name first name to me but I can see it being used as a first name though I don’t like it enough to use myself.

Not my style.
