I liked Andalasia [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but my friend called [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name for her future child. Plus [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is very common. So then I started to like Andalasia [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. It sounds very nice but I think it’s just as common as [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I would like help finding other options. Maybe a name that starts with the letter L. It seems to fit well with Andalasia. If not that then just a nature name or other name that would fit well with Etheria [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. Thanks!
Your friend doesn’t exactly own [name_f]Rose[/name_f], especially not if she only plans to use it for a middle name, but I digress…
Andalasia [name_f]Lilith[/name_f]

I really like @sansavesper’s Andalasia [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] (I’d add the e with Etheria [name_f]Willow[/name_f]) and Andalusia [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].
While I can understand your hesitancy in using a common name, I will say that I really like Andalasia [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and I don’t think that [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is nearly as common as [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle. I think of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as THE go-to middle names for more than two generations. I wish we had data on middle names. I know [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is common, too. But I personally would not worry about it, especially with a big name like Andalasia.
I’m not familiar with Andalasia and when I saw it I thought it was a misspelling of Andalucía, what Spain is also called via al-Andalus, the term the moors who occupied it named the land. Andalucía evokes flamenco dancing, the [name_f]Alhambra[/name_f] palace, gardens of Babylon and Spanish guitar music. It’s beautiful and I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as the middle name.
What is the story behind Andalasia?
Isn’t Andalasia the name of the kingdom [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] is from in Enchanted??
As @sansavesper pointed out, your friend can’t “call” [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name. If it was a first name she used, then I could see your hesitation, but really, there’s no reason to not use it, considering it’s a very common middle name in the first place.
I also like Andalasia [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and I can understand your hesitation to use something popular, but in the middle spot, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is quite rare.
