Saoirse MN/Possible Double Name

Looking for suggestions from people outside of family/friends. I’m expecting my third baby, first with my second husband. Since I picked two baby names already he’s been given the honor of choosing our daughter’s name, so he chose [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]. I’m learning to love it, but the spelling is so confusing and I worry it’ll be confusing to teachers/classmates, so I want a simple middle name to even it out. I love [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a double name, so she has the option to use her middle name if she has too much trouble with her first name. He wants a family name, and I’m trying to incorporate one of his mother’s suggestions as she is going to be the only grandmother and she has been very supportive through my pregnancy. Her suggestions/family names are:
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_u]Branch[/name_u]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u]/Leigh
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Melinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Essie[/name_f]

I feel like these names sound off with the soft A ending of [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]. [name_m]Can[/name_m] anyone suggest combinations of these names that seem to work either with or without [name_f]Rose[/name_f] involved?
I’m in favor of [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]/Rosaleen personally, but DH is in favor of [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_u]Branch[/name_u] or one of the above family contributions. Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

Saoirse [name_f]Kayleigh[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be stunning

How about…

  • Saoirse [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] (combines [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and her suggestion of [name_u]Lee[/name_u]/Leigh. You could also change the spelling to [name_f]Rosalee[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosaleigh[/name_f] if that’s an honor name)
  • Saoirse [name_f]Rosella[/name_f] (combines [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and her suggestion of [name_f]Ella[/name_f])
  • Saoirse [name_f]Melinda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (if you are okay with a double middle name, this sounds very nice!)

I actually loved and suggested that, but DH had an ex named [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] and he says it’s too close😒

Those are great! I’m adding them to the list now.

What about [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] ? Its kind of mix of all of MIL suggestions

Saoirse [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

Saoirse [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u] love this name!

Saoirse [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Branch[/name_u] would make a cool and earthy name!

Saoirse [name_f]Rosella[/name_f] also came to mind
