A middle name for Rose?

We have finally decided on a name for our very soon to be born DD; Rose Mallows, and we were wondering about a middle name. I was thinking something along the lines of Elizabeth (Hubby had a hideous old Aunt with that name so unfortunately that one is out) but can't really think of any others that fit. I really don't want to change the order of her name and would rather have no middle name than change them around - has anyone any suggestions?

have not wane, no idea how IBlush managed that

Rose Elizabeth was my instant thought on reading your title,
But all the suggestions are great.

Rose Romona or Rose Rebecca wave lovely slightly unexpected ring to them.

I'd have a Rebecca, but she's an Ex of DHs and he vetoed it.

I love Rose as a first name. Much rarer than as a middle name and a gorgeous classic.

Agree a multi-syllable mn sounds best.

I would say don't make it a vowel. Initials can be tricky.

Stellan · 15/07/2012 18:13

I'd pick something like

Rose Alexandra Mallows
Rose Susannah Mallows
Rose Josephine Mallows
Rose Evangeline Mallows
Rose Miriam Mallows
Rose Victoria Mallows

I think three syllable or more sound better with a one syllable first name. :)
