Is Rose overdone as a girl's middle name?

I am (sort of) TTC and semi-obsessed with baby names. Blush

Anyway, I love the middle name Rose for a girl, though I know it's very popular. My grandfather grew roses and they always make me think of him, so I feel like it'd be honoring him in a small way.

Is it too common, though? It doesn't really matter, I suppose. But when I grew up every other girl had Marie as a middle name and it got a bit old after awhile.

Yes, I hear it all the time as a middle name lately. That, and May/Mae.
I think your sentiment is lovely so quite a nice reason to use it if you are particularly fond of it.

It is popular yes. But if there's a lovely meaning behind it then who cares?

DD's middle name is Rose. After one of my favourite people in the world.

That's good enough for me Smile
