Middle name for Rose? AND Thoughts on Siena?

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are expecting our first child in [name_f]October[/name_f]. We don’t know the gender yet, but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is at the top of our list if the baby is a girl. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble thinking of a middle name that flows well after [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Any suggestions?

I also like the name [name_f]Siena[/name_f], but the association with Toyota [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] is very off-putting for me. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think of the minivan when you hear the name [name_f]Siena[/name_f]?

Thanks!

Our daughter is called [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] :slight_smile: so I’m very biased. We love her name!

[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful :slight_smile:

I’ve never connected Toyota with [name_f]Sienna[/name_f]. I prefer the [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] spelling and I love this name. It’s a friends daughter and she is blond, blue-eyed and delightful.

Try to look for a name that stresses the 2nd syllable. Here’s a post that is helpful from Angela at Upswing Baby Names.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Maxine[/name_f]

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a beautiful name and the suggestion of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is gorgeous.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is nice - a longer name but with the same fresh vintage twist, and if you don’t want to call her [name_f]Rose[/name_f] you could call her [name_f]Maddy[/name_f]. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is also lovely.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]

[name_f]Siena[/name_f] is nice. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Susie[/name_f]? Both cool and [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is unusual these days and has retro charm.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! Firstly, I love both names, but I find [name_f]Siena[/name_f]/[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] a bit overused here ([name_f]England[/name_f]). It doesn’t make me think of a car though! It’s very pretty.

Middle names for [name_f]Rose[/name_f]:

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]

Depends on taste! :slight_smile:

I don’t think of the minivan when I see/hear Sien(n)a - I think of [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_m]Miller[/name_m] and [name_f]Siena[/name_f], [name_f]Italy[/name_f] - but I’m really not a car person.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] could handle a big, heavy middle name if you’re so inclined - like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] - or something quieter (if that makes sense), like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. It’s pretty versatile!
