With sweet, sparky Rosalie revived and ranking in the US Top 200, this variant is also catching on. While some may consider it a modern, creative spelling, it has long been used in the US. In fact, it was in the Top 1000 from 1902, right up until 1951, and had appeared sporadically in the popularity charts before that too.
 
With plenty of vintage charm, Rosalee makes a cosy alternative spelling option to Rosalie, with the additional bonus that it could be read as a compound of Rosa and Lee, giving it the alternative meaning of "rose meadow". As such, it may work as a more direct honor name for those wanting to honor a Lee, but also fit in with other vintage choices like Marilee and Carolee. 
 
The name also appeared in the TV show Grimm, borne by the character Rosalee Calvert, played by Bree Turner. The airing of the show coincided with a renewed interest in Rosalee, which doubled in usage between 2012 and 2017.
 
A recent re-entry to the US Top 1000, it was given to around 270 girls in the last count. Rosalie by contrast was given to nearly 1700 girls, making it six times more popular.
