Opinions on middle names for Rose

So we are having our first girl after three boys- [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. I think we’ve settled on [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for the first name but it’s been more difficult to find a middle name that we both love. Dh doesn’t like names that he hasn’t heard of before (and he doesn’t trawl the internet for names like I do so he’s heard of considerably less names than I have!)

Short list-

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is super common here in Australia. But this is dh’s fav)

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (probably my favourite. I adore [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and always have).

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] Tallullah

Which do you prefer? Thanks :slight_smile:

I think all of the middle names in your list are lovely, I just can’t get over the fact that they all flow better with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name!

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

Sorry, not sure if that’s an option for you. [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a lovely subset for what it’s worth!

Everything seems to flow better with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as the middle name because it’s just one syllable. It’s been so difficult trying to think of any that feel right. I’m pretty set on [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for first though :slight_smile:

I really like the lovely and simple [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name. I also like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] mainly for this very reason, that [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is so darn hard to pair. All of your
choices are lovely, btw.

Of your choice I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] the best and might even prefer [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f].

I’ll suggest [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is adorable!

I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] sound the best.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] would be my votes! Can’t chose between the 2; love em both!

Wow–[name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a pretty fantastic sibset!

I like the flow of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] best, but you can’t go wrong with a classic name [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. Your faves are my top 2 as well, so no tie breaker here. sorry! I also love the suggestion of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]–a bit more than [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]. Seems a bit more sophisticated/less frilly.

I had the same problem when we were considering [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for a girl’s name (though we ended up with a boy!) - literally everything sounded better when [name_f]Rose[/name_f] was in the middle! It’s frustrating. From your list, my favorite is [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], though the suggestion of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] is also lovely. To me, [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] seems to wordy, as in a rose and a clementine orange. I may be the only one, though, so if it’s your favorite then don’t worry about me! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is precious! I would also suggest:

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f]

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] gets my vote!!

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] does sound the very best. [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] descriptive, but since [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is so hard to pair, go with it! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] might work - it sounds lovely and lends itself to [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u].

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] would be my pick. I like the blend of a name with history like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with a more adventurous MN.

Yes^^ I feel the same! I would like a more quirky middle name since [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is so classic and sweet. I am so glad that most people seem to like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I did think about the fact that it’s two words but [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] here (in [name_m]OZ[/name_m]) is not used as word for a fruit really so I think I’d be safe using it. I do like [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] too. Hadn’t considered that. [name_m]Will[/name_m] put it on the list. I like a lot of the other suggestions too and have thought of most of them but have emilinated a lot of them for various reasons. So I guess it’s down I [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]! I’ve always wanted to use the name [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] so I think that’s the way we’ll go. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if dh needs a little convincing :wink:

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] are both very pretty! I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] too but it doesn’t have as much sparkle as the other two names.

I adore [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] would be my favourite - absolutely stunning! On my list I’ve also had [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. Good luck!

I second [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] as additional options

From your list [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is precious
