Rosie is better than Rose because it's easier to say.

Rosie is the name of Samwise Gamgee's wife in Lord of the Rings. They get married at the end of the final book, The Return of the King.

I'm really sorry, but this name sounds like an old person's name! It's a nice name, though.

I love the name Rosie. I think it isn't as plain as Rose.

It's an okay name. I know someone named Rosie and she's okay. I am glad this name ever exsisted.

Again, why not Rose? Rose is a beautiful old-fashioned, elegant name. Rosie is only nice as a pet form, but never as a name itself.

Rosie is a sweet, classic name. Much better than Rose itself, as it is overused (particularly in middle names).

Rosie could also be used as a pet form of any name beginning with `Ros` such as Rosemary, Rosina, Rosanna and Rosetta.

It's a cute nickname, but it always makes me think of that loud, irritating, and hideous talk show host, Rosie O'Donnell.

My name is Rosanna but I go by Rosie, I have done all my life. I like my name but I don't like how people are always telling me that they have pets named Rosie! :D It's damn annoying! Also being associated with that annoying American TV host is irritating.

Rosie is a sweet and pleasant name. The 'zee' gives it a warm and friendly sound, like Daisy.

I'm sorry, but I hate the name Rosie! It sounds so stiff and grating, and reminds me of a bratty two-year-old. I much prefer Rose, or any other "Rose" name for that matter.

"Rosie" is a song by Joan Armatrading.

The song is about a transvestite prostitute.

Can also be a masculine nickname for Roosevelt.

Rosie is such a sweet little name for a beautiful little girl. I was deliberating between Poppy and Rosie. I have decided on sweet little Rosie.

Rosie Pope. English-born, now calling New York City, USA, her home with husband and two beautiful sons (congratulations on new birth!). She is a designer and all-around guide to pregnant women; with her own television show, Bravo's "Pregnant In Heels."

Rosie Moon was the main character in Brigid Lowry's Australian book Guitar Highway Rose.

I hate this name! Why not just Rose? At least Rose has elegance and class! I don't think I'd be able to grow up with the name Rosie. Sorry to anyone with this name.

My friend spells her name Rosea.

Rosie and Jim was a children's TV programme.

Rosie was the name of Albert's mother in the movie War Horse.

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.

Rose is way more elegant than this name.
