The number of girls with middle name Rose has now reached critical mass and the World is going to explode in five minutes.

[CuckooClockWorkOrange]

You can use it as a first name. That's all. Thank you.

[noonki]

you are right five of my five now have something -rose....

[noonki]

that made no sense... five of my friends now have a something - rose

[Dreadfulwoman]

Mine has Rose as a middle name as her grandma (named Rose) died when I was pg, am I exempt?

[CuckooClockWorkOrange]

I will allow Rosemary. (not Rosemarie).

It's like Anne in the 60s or Jane in the 70s.
What was the filler name in the 80s?

[Dreadfulwoman]

Jayne (as in 70's but with a y). Only one of my school friends wasn't a Jayne.

[norkmaiden]

deffo Louise for the 80s

[georgimama]

In the late 70s and early 80s it was Louise, that isn't my middle name but is middle name of most girls I went to school with.

Mine is the other filler name of the 70s and 80s, Elizabeth.

80's was Louise

[ExtraFancy]

There are three of them in my antenatal group (out of 7 girls)...

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

the middle names of me & my sisters (all born late 70's mid 80's) are Jane, Louise and Alexandra.
Always grew up thinking my younger sister had such a cool middle name!

I know lots of something-Jades from the late 90's

[noonki]

and I loveeed the name rose... btf I had boys

[TheLadyofShalott]

In DD's year at school (b1989-90) about 40 out of 200 girls had Louise as first or middle name - I remember counting them on the sign in list one parents evening while aiting to talk to the maths teacher.

[ElfOnTheTopShelf]

There was a Louisa in my year at secondary school, she was very exotic among the groups of Emma, Louise, Laura, Claire, Sarah, Gemma...

[georgimama]

Surely there must be some Elizabeths out there too?

[CantSleepWontSleep]

DD has middle name Rose after my late grandmother, so I'm also pleading exemption.

[constancereader]

It makes me laugh because of that old rhyme

Mary Rose
Sat on a pin
Mary rose.....

[TheLadyofShalott]

My SIL was called Mary Rose, and she got married fairly soon after the Mary Rose exhibition opened, which left her open to a lot of jokes at the reception - not helped by the fact that she was marrying a Mr Wright...
