Rosemary
- This is one of those "old-lady" names that I think needs to come back. I love the name Rose, but Rose by itself can be too short if you have a single-syllable last name like me. Rosemary is equally a little girl having a tea party, or a distinguished career woman.
- pretty sound, old-fashioned and yet still uncommon
- It's old-fashioned and pretty, with lots of nicknames: Ro, Rosie, Romy, etc. It makes me think of the old song "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes".
