Margaret Rose

After re-watching that old classic, [name_u]Baby[/name_u], the [name_u]Rain[/name_u] Must Fall, I’m stuck on [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a double FN. It’s the name of the little girl in the movie.

Wdyt of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a double name?

It’s a lot to say every time, but I knew a girl who went by [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] her whole life so why not?

I’d imagine around the house she’d end up with a nickname like [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Mamie[/name_f], or [name_f]Rosy[/name_f]. But formally (like at school, aside from close friends) she’d be [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

But this is all purely hypothetical.

I seriously never heard this [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] referred to as anything but [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Her mother must have had a will of iron, lol!

Wow, lol. I wonder what she thought about it. I knew a [name_f]China[/name_f]-C@therine and her parents would pretend they have no idea what you’re talking about if you refer to her as anything but that, haha :slight_smile:

I’m not dazzled by anything embellished with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] these days (with the exception of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name or it’s relations like [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]), so [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] does little for me. I also agree it’s kind of mouthful. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if it’s shorter than [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], it doesn’t flow seamlessly enough in my opinion to be an ideal double first name.

I work with a [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] who goes by both names, but I believe it’s hyphenated. I think [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is lovely, but it is quite a lot to say all the time. Maybe you as parents would say her full name, but at school she’d just go by [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or one of the [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nicknames?

Either way, pretty name!

I think [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is very pretty!

I am not a fan of double first names. The second first name often gets dropped/mistaken as a middle name. Also, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] were the given names of the late [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is lovely as fn and mn but quite a mouthful for just a fn. [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]-rose is cute though!

Absolutely stunning!

Thanks all for the replies! Very mixed responses. It is nice to see both sides. Like I said, she’d probably have [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Mamie[/name_f], or [name_f]Rosy[/name_f] as a nickname for part of the time, and formally be [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] together. And if someone called her just [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], I’d be totally okay with that. :slight_smile:
