oo some great suggestions! I love Nell - would it need to be a longer version or could just 'Nell' work? Also, love Elsa and Pippa. I do like Grace with Rose but wonder if too popular?

Any thoughts...

Rose and Ella

Rose and Anna

Rose and Imogen

Rose and Libby

As long as you take Rose as a name and not a flower everything goes with the name. Don't have a flower theme or you could have a flower middle name such as

Iris
Poppy
Daisy

Definately not another flower name!

How about

Grace
Elizabeth
Lydia
Celia
Molly
Charlotte
Lucinda
Bridget
Elsa
Florence
Cassandra
Veronica
Louisa
Daphne
Cordelia
Seren
Felicity
Alice
Martha
Constance
Tabitha
Matilda
Laura
Phillipa

I think most things will go beautifully with Rose, but absolutely NOT a flower name, as lovely as Iris is, you just cannot use it as a sibling for Rose.

My dad has two cats called Rose and Florence, so I think they go perfectly together. I have a Ruby and have Eve in mind for the next (should I be blessed).

Noooooo,

my friend has Violet, Lily, Marigold and Daisy. The kids are so embarrassed.

Go for another classic name, Emily or whatever, but not a theme.
