Middle name for Rose?

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries,

We have decided on [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for next baby if a girl but middle names are really hard for a single syllable name like [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
We don’t want [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] as we like all the siblings having different endings to their names, and other [name_f]Rose[/name_f] contender [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] will end up being [name_f]Roz[/name_f] whether I like it or not and I definitely do not! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is pretty, classic and elegant but what a pain for a middle name!
Ideas?
Siblings are [name_m]Soren[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] Freesman, [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Galleher. Everyone else has two middles names so [name_f]Rose[/name_f] will need two as well so it makes it extra hard. I like classic names but I am also happy to play with some kooky nature names, but also is likely to be last child so is last chance to go unashamedly girly and frilly and long ([name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and that sort of thing). No other flower names is the only rule.

Btw I have no idea how you get a signature of names you like so I don’t have one :frowning: can some wise berries explain to me how you get a signature?

Thank you!!!

Signature: You go to settings and then to the signature option. You can find settings underneath the green bar with the forum tab.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] middle names: I have [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] on my list and toyed around with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] before, a combo I still very much like.
I probably would avoid names starting in O, S or A (or rather an [name_m]Ah[/name_m]- sound) following [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as they tend to run into each other.

Ideas:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] (not really a flower name but probably still too much)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]

Since I don’t know your favourite names, maybe give me some feedback on these combos, if they are your style, if you like the flow, etc. so I can come up with a few more, knowing what you like and dislike!

Thank you everyone,

I have been busy stealing inspiration from your own user names (opheliaflora and daphnelark love love love) and signatures too as well as your wonderful suggestions!

It’s hard to know what names you really love and what are crushes or too influenced by current fashion, I’ve broken it down to:
Lifelong Crushes (which includes lots of guilty pleasures): [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], Aglaia (this is the name of one of the mythological three Graces, I came across it in a novel by Dostoevsky when I was a teen), [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]/[name_f]Iseult[/name_f], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Virginia[/name_f].
Recent Crushes (some already fading): [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] (fading), [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] (fading), [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]/[name_f]Shoshana[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] (a name I have always hated, weirdly is now a crush), [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Helene[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (fading), [name_f]Angelou[/name_f], [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f].
Family names: [name_f]Virginia[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f]/[name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]-[name_f]Jane[/name_f] (I’d just use the [name_f]Jane[/name_f] part), [name_f]Laura[/name_f].
Runners up for the first name spot this time and last time: [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]

Current combos including excellent suggestions from above:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] Aglaia
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f]

the other way I have been very tempted by is having [name_f]Rose[/name_f] followed by another single syllable name and then a long flowery or clunky name, for example:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] Aglaia
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Angelou[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]

Does that help give an idea of my taste? Also finally we really had a scare over this baby, at one point it looked like baby might not make it, so we are extra especially over-the-moon that baby is fine and healthy and being the last baby I want to really push the boat out and not worry too much about pleasing other people or guilty pleasures or including names because I think I should (family surnames and so on), I just want to go all out extravagant with three names I really adore.

Thank you again!
