Rosemarie = Rose-MAH-ree.
Rosemary = Rose-mare-ree.

The difference there really depends on your accent too... I don’t think there’s a big enough difference for it to be worth thinking about.
I like the spelling Rosemary best.

Just like the differences between Mary and Marie with Rose at the beginning. Are you fom the US? If not, maybe there is not much difference. But in the US, I think most people would make those distinctions in pronunciation. What pronunciation are you going for?

Rosemarie = Rose-MAH-ree.
Rosemary = Rose-mare-ree.

Yes, Rosemarie and Rosemary are pronounced differently, just like Marie and Mary are.

Marie is pronounced - muh-ree
Mary is pronounced - mair-ee

Therefore, Rosemarie is pronounce rose-MUH-ree, and Rosemary is pronounced rose-MAIR-ee.

I would say Rosemarie as Roze-muh-ree and Rosemary as Roze-mare-ee

I once worked for a
German woman named Rose Marie....she pronounced her own name as "Rose-mare-ee"
just as we Americans pronounce Rosemary.
