What do you think of the name Rose?

sashbash15 · October 9, 2009, 4:17pm

I know it is typically used as a middle name, but I think that it’s beautiful as a first name too. Not too popular, and seems very classic to me.
I love my little sister’s name ([name]Louise[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name] [name]Rose[/name]), and thought [name]Rose[/name] as a first name would be the perfect way to honour her. I’m not pregnant, just very keen on names!

My thoughts about middle names:
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Valentina[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] Am”lie
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Arabella[/name]

With a 3 syllable last name.
So …

[name]Do[/name] you like the name [name]Rose[/name] for a first name?
[name]Do[/name] you like any of the names above?
[name]Do[/name] you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

It’s fine…not my favorite, but I don’t hate it.
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Rose[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
I prefer other flower names, such as [name]Lily[/name], [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Posy[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Bryony[/name], [name]Holly[/name], and [name]Ivy[/name]. And, I like [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Rose[/name] better than [name]Rose[/name] [name]Arabella[/name] = better flow.

I love [name]Rose[/name] as a first name. It is definitely an underused classic – a la [name]Rose[/name] [name]Kennedy[/name].

An alternative nickname for this name that I love is Roey (rhymes with [name]Chloe[/name])

From your list, I like [name]Rose[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name].

What about:
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]

I absolutely love [name]Rose[/name] as a first name! So sweet and classy and yet somewhat distinctive as a first name.

I have [name]Rose[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] at the top of my own list, so that definitely gets my vote

rkarczynski · October 10, 2009, 12:41pm

I love [name]Rose[/name]. My daughter’s mn is [name]Rose[/name], and my great grandmother’s name was [name]Rose[/name]. The only concern I have ever had was that I like names to have more than one syllable. I have had many names that I liked which I wouldn’t even consider b/c of it only having one syllable. So, personally, I would have a different variation of [name]Rose[/name] - [name]Rosa[/name], [name]Rosabelle[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], etc. We are actually choosing a variation of [name]Rose[/name] for our daughter’s name - we’ve narrowed it down to [name]Rosaelia[/name] and [name]Rozlin[/name].

These are my two favorite out of your list.

[name]Rose[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] Am”lie

sba222 · October 12, 2009, 3:27pm

I love the name [name]Rose[/name]! I think when you use the name [name]Rose[/name] as a first name, that’s simple and elegant, you should have a strong, maybe longer middle name. Heres some I like.

[name]Rose[/name] [name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Carolina[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Georgianna[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Alexandria[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Serena[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Mercury[/name]

[name]Elena[/name], I think you thought of [name]Rose[/name] [name]Celestine[/name], and it is my favorite combo with [name]Rose[/name] ever![/quote]

feeling quite embarrassed now, I just thought that it sounded so familiar!

but wow thank you, I love it too

I like the name [name]Rose[/name] and I do like floral names, however, I just don’t think that [name]Rose[/name] works as a first name very well. If you’re going with the floral names, may I suggest a few?

[name]Aster[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Primrose[/name]
[name]Acacia[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Holly[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Lavender[/name]
[name]Lilly[/name]
[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Azalea[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]

I think [name]Rose[/name] would only really work with another short last name and no middle name. It’s such a simple and sweet name that anything too long would muddle it.
