Melodic, darling, natural and sophisticated. I think I prefer it to Rosemary.

This is my name (spelled Rose-Marie) and as another commenter mentioned, people rarely pronounce it right, almost always pronouncing it like Rosemary. I often have to spell it out, which is an extra pain with the "hyphen, capital M" in the middle... It is a bit of a mouthful for a three syllable name, and I've had a lot of nicknames - usually Rose or Rosey, or RM when I was a kid. Growing up I really wished for something younger-sounding, like Tiffany or Stephanie (this was during the 80s, obviously!) I've come around to it though. I think it's a nice name, neither totally unfamiliar or too common, and with lots of potential nicknames.

I agree with all of you, I think Rosemary is a beautiful name that deserves more credit than it has. I was afraid to find a lot of comments saying that it is a grandmother's name, but I am glad I was wrong. It seems to me a name that is full of femininity, maturity, sensitivity and elegance. Being long, you can choose between different nicknames and it is a name that ages very well. Just fantastic.

My name is Rosemarie. I like my name, but that is mostly because it is mine, and not because I find it particularly beautiful. I love that it is a very uncommon name in the U.S., so I rarely have to "share" my name. I must say, though, for some reason people treat it as a variant spelling of the name Rosemary. At least 3/4 of the time, people pronounce my name that way. It is not often that I hear people pronounce my name Rosemarie without being told. Also, when I give the name Rosemarie, people often ask if Marie is separate or if it is my middle name. I like to avoid the hassle and annoyance by simply going by Rosie.

Using the full word Rosemarie is important to those of us who have the name. Not everybody likes to have their name abbreviated. I personally hate being called Rosie, and therefore don't answer to anything but my full name. It was given to me out of love, it's beautiful, and I use it. If you don't like your name then change it, but don't change someone else's.

Pretty, though I agree with the comment saying it's a little long. If its really that big of a deal, they can just go by Rose/Rosie or Marie. I want to name my daughter Marie Rose :)

Rose-Marie is the main character in the Vampire Academy series. She is gutsy , strong and opinionated. She goes by Rose. I love this name it makes me think of someone who is dark haired with rosy cheeks probably because of the character.

I must say, I much prefer this to Rosemary, which (though the name of a spice, and I like spice names) sounds quite old fashioned. Keep in mind, I'm going by the English pronunciation: ROHZ-muh-ree.
