I was growing the herb Rosemary this last spring and made plenty of dishes with it. Also a few years ago I kept getting calls from people looking for a lady named Rosemary. I am not completely in love with this name but it is kind of nice for some people I guess. It is a somewhat popular name so I decided to add this. I hear this quite a lot in movies for characters of all ages so it’s not just an old fashioned old ladies name. This could fit in many different genres in books.
