Rose as a first name - boring or unexpected?

I love it, and I love [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] even more. I really want to use it if we ever have another girl ([name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]), but it is my sweet aunt’s name. That seems like it would make it even more perfect, but my daughter is named after my mom’s mom (my gma), and I feel like I can’t name another daughter after my mom’s sister, bypassing my wonderful mom! Still mulling this over…

I love it as a first name! I would never use it as a middle because 95% of the little girls we know have the middle name [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

[name_f]Love[/name_f] it. If my middle name weren’t [name_f]Rose[/name_f] I would be tempted to use it for my daughter.

I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful as a first name. And not boring at all.

I really love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and the images it creates:)

I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name. It is very pretty. I have [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] on my list.

I love the name [name_f]Rose[/name_f] but only as a first name. As you say it’s become such a filler mn and it’s really put me off it as a mn choice. As a first name though I think it’s a real classic choice that is definitely under Rated :slight_smile:

yeah i think its a good choice for a first name, i’m getting tired of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name, it needs to be put up front more :smiley: I say go with it

I think it would be a bit unexpected these days, which I like. I’d say go for it! I was thinking the same thing about [name_f]Mary[/name_f] the other day - a character in a movie was [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and I realised how lovely it is.

Thanks everyone. The more and more I think about it, the more I’m falling in love with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name. It’s definitely in my top 5.
