đŸŒč A sister for Rose?

Hi everyone. :relaxed:

One of my favorite girls names is Rose, and I’m curious what names you’d suggest for her sisters? I like so many names, but they’re all so long compared to Rose!

My favorites are a lot of classics: May, Jane, Penelope, Elizabeth, Abigail, Winnifred nn Winnie, Annalise, and Florence nn Flora (which - is that too flowery? paired with Rose?). I also like Alice, which I think works well!

What do you think of each of these with Rose? What would you name a sister to Rose?

All the names you listed are perfect with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]! I especially love [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] & [name_u]Florence[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Flora[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] makes the floral theme less obvious, but still keeps that cute connection. Some more suggestions:

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]

I think [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] go well with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I don’t think [name_u]Florence[/name_u] nn [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is too flowery with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] and [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] are a bit long next to [name_f]Rose[/name_f] but still fine for sisters in my opinion.

I would name a sister for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Fenna[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Nella[/name_f] or [name_f]Vera[/name_f].

I really like those names with [name_f]Rose[/name_f], my favourite I think being [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] “Winnie”. I also love [name_u]Florence[/name_u] with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] but would personally go with nn [name_f]Florrie[/name_f]. I do like [name_f]Flora[/name_f] though. I’m not sure what I would pick myself - maybe [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Alba[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] "Dotty’ or [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]?

I think lots of your favorites would go nicely with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I especially like [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
I would also suggest [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], and [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] (if you don’t mind matching r’s) :heart:

Firstly I absolutely love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] :rose:

You’ve got a great list of classics there I think as a sister name for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] from your list I really like [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] & [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. Personally I think [name_u]Florence[/name_u] ‘Flora’ is a bit to flowery, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] are visually too long and personally never been a fan of [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].

Some other sister names (count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries)

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] and

[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]

With [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and given the style you’ve shared with us, I would pair an equally beautiful, yet stark name clipped of all frills like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] would also work fabulously, and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] definitely fit as well!

For myself, I love Charlotte/Caroline with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. If you want a name as romantic as [name_f]Rose[/name_f], yet maybe not as plain, [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] would by another suggestion.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is just lovely.

Here are my thoughts on your list-

May-I love this w/Rose. It has the same simple classic elegance.

Jane-This is good too, but I don’t like it as much as [name_f]May[/name_f]. It feels more serious, I think?

Penelope-I adore [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] in general. It’s not the first name that I’d pair w/Rose, just because it’s so long. But it doesn’t clash. And it’s such a cute name. Not sure if you’re into [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], but [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] & [name_u]Penny[/name_u] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] & [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] would be darling.

Elizabeth-This works too. A beautiful classic. Kind of feels not quite as elegant as [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but it doesn’t not go. Again, I think that some of the nns for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] go w/Rosie better than just [name_f]Rose[/name_f] & [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

Abigail-Abigail feels homey & charming. I like it a lot. Not quite as romantic as [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but it doesn’t not go. [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] & [name_u]Abbie[/name_u] would be super cute.

[name_f]Winnifred[/name_f] nn Winnie-This spelling looks off to me. I’d go w/Winifred. I’m not personally a fan of [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], because I think that it sounds a little clunky. I love [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] though. I like it as a nn for [name_f]Anwen[/name_f], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_f]Branwen[/name_f], [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f] & [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f].

Annalise-Hm. I think that [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] looks nicer. A bit fussy sounding next to the romantic [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but I still like it. I love [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] & [name_f]Annie[/name_f] if you were into those.

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] nn Flora-I like just [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. [name_u]Florence[/name_u] feels stuffy to me. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] & [name_f]Flora[/name_f] are just perfect!

Alice-I think that this works too. Very sweet.

I kind of like flower names paired w/Rose, even if it is a bit cheesy. How about [name_f]Rose[/name_f] &


[name_f]Lilie[/name_f]

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

[name_f]Nora[/name_f]

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with [name_f]Kate[/name_f], Anne/Anna, [name_f]Eva[/name_f], or [name_f]Ida[/name_f]!
