Sorry but I think it sounds like a name for a boat. You did ask ?

Maiden makes me think "virgin" rather than iron maiden! I'd think of it as similar to the name Chastity, if I heard it, I think.

Rose is nice :)

I've never heard the name Saylor?

I can't help but thing "budding virgin" sorry. It has a pretty sound but the connotations of Maiden/maidenhead and rose together.... are too.. medieval!

Maider (old Basque, pronouced my -dare)?
Miriam?

Sailor is popular? I haven't heard of any. I quite like it but wouldn't be brave enough. Other nautical names could be Ariel (sea sprite not mermaid - unisex), Mar (Spanish for sea?) Marina, Marisa, Marisol along similar veins, Conchetta (little shell), Nautila (I just made that one up..), Blue like Beyonce's daughter? "Maiden Blue" Hobie (company that makes catamarans) Pearl?

Actually I think Maiden would be fine without the Rose which makes it all virtuous. You need something edgier there. And monosyllabic.
Maiden Blue...

Awful....

Like a boat....

But in a pretty dreadful way.

I don't like Maiden at all - to be honest I think the nickname is more likely certainly in school to be Maid. I don't like the whole maiden name feeling of it either. I know Liv Tyler has called her baby boy Sailor, I don't think it's becoming more popular but it's more celeby, mind you so is Ethel, Arthur etc so I wouldn't let that worry you.

Yeah, it's just another word for virgin/young girl. Doesn't sound edgy, just like a word in the place of a name, sorry.

(And I like Iron Maiden!)

'Shyanne....name is sky'

I'm a bit confused about name of sibling?

Sounds like a euphemism for someone's virginity...

Shyanne? Like Shy Anne? Hmm.
And Maiden Rose is awful, sorry.

Sounds like a name of a cleaning company.

Don't do this to your child.

The maiden aunt

The maiden voyage....

Could be the Maiden mistake of a name I feel

Reminds me of sex for some reason. Like maiden is virginity. Just no.

It does sound like the name of a canal boat to me too, sorry.

Sounds like something you could possibly see at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

Rose is lovely.

I agree, Maiden conjures up images of a medieval virgin in a pointy hat! What about something with a similar sound like Meghan or Morgan?

Isn't it some sort of clothes drying thing too?
