What middles would you suggest for sisters Joan and Rose? I’m looking for something spunky, 1940s, slightly British, and that match the aesthetic below! I don’t mind the names being “dated” along the lines of Barbara and Bernice (two I’ve considered) but I want them to make these simple, shorter first really shine!
Thank you!
What a fun vibe! I’d suggest:
Joan Matilda
Joan Myrtle
Joan Edith
Joan Beverly
Joan Phyllis
Joan Betty
Joan Marjorie
Joan Mavis
Joan Judith
Joan Carol
Joan Paulette
Rose Jacqueline
Rose Arden
Rose Agnes
Rose Leann
Rose Gwendolyn
Rose Marlene
Rose Claudette
Rose Frances
Rose Doreen
Rose Robin
Rose Brady
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Belinda[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]

These are precious! [name_f]Myra[/name_f] and [name_f]Melva[/name_f] especially are so cool- I need to reconsider them for something!!! I also love seeing [name_f]Mildred[/name_f] and [name_f]Edna[/name_f], they’re perfectly clunky and great for this set. Thank you!
@EdgeOfTheMeadow
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Belinda[/name_f] + [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Loretta[/name_f]- These are so country, I love the vibe!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Bertha[/name_f] + [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Gladys[/name_f]- ugh, I LOVE these so much. Exactly what I was looking for!!! [name_f]Bertha[/name_f] and [name_f]Gladys[/name_f] are so stuffy and sweet!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] + [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Marybeth[/name_f]- [name_m]Loving[/name_m] [name_f]Marybeth[/name_f] here! [name_f]Vintage[/name_f] smush names always have a place on my list, and they fit well with the aesthetic!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lorna[/name_f] + [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]- These two balance so well, the sleek [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with the clunky [name_f]Lorna[/name_f], and the clunky [name_f]Joan[/name_f] with the sleeker [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. [name_m]Perfect[/name_m] as sisters!
Thank you so much!
@EleanorVintage [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Phyllis[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Muriel[/name_f] 
I adore these- and am adding straight to the brainstorming list!
@Greyblue Your suggestions are spot on! I especially love:

[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] + [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] + [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f]
and the single names of [name_f]Constance[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Thelma[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. I can’t go wrong with any of these! Thank you!
@silverfiregirly [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] + [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] + [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Gladys[/name_f] are really standing out to me. [name_f]Gladys[/name_f] is too adorable. Thank you for your input!
I love [name_f]Florence[/name_f] stylistically, but I’m not sure if I love the flow of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]? Otherwise I like:
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Mamie[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Mamie[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Sabine[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Sabine[/name_f] (not sure [name_f]Sabine[/name_f] fits the bill but she feels right somehow?)
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] (don’t love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] though)
[name_f]Joan[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] OR [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
Good luck!
