Rose (?) <please insert middle name>

I was keen on Rose Elizabeth, still am, but think I want something a bit less formal. Also I'm scottish and as someone pointed out on here it's a very English sounding name (nothing wrong with that I hasten to add)

Really stumped for alternatives so opinions most welcome!

My name is Rosanne Elizabeth :)

How about Rose Anne
Rose Isabella
Rose Amelia
Rose Natasha?

Something long in the middle might work.

Lots of lovely suggestions, thank-you all Flowers

At the moment favourites are Rose Elise (does that sound like one name though when spoken?) still love Rose Elizabeth but lots of food for thought.

To the pp who said Rosa flows better with the surname, I think I agree, but still prefer Rose. Interesting to ponder though.

Any more suggestions would be gratefully received!

Oh, sorry, I now remember that Rosevita is usually all one name - not a lot of use!

Cassieyellow · 11/03/2015 13:36

We have a Rose Amelie (basically because a name we liked as a first name but Rose beat it). I like longer names also (such as Elizabeth).
Are there other names you considered as a first name that you could use as Middle? Rose Elizabeth is gorgeous though.
Warning - every other person you meet will have a child with the middle name of Rose!

Twinklestein · 11/03/2015 11:45

If it were me I would go with a Scottish middle name.

Also love the suggestion of Rose Valentina!
Don't read too much into initials, when do you ever really see plain initials written down as the letters only?
When I was younger, I remember thinking about my initials - without middle name - as RC which to me read 'arsey'! But no one else ever sad anything, why would they? No one would have noticed!

MrsLettuce · 11/03/2015 08:16

Rose Vita

RL20 · 11/03/2015 08:12

RE the initials reading 'red' I don't see that it would be a problem anyway, I know a girl called Red Smile

My name is Rose (not short for anything) although I do like Rosanna! Or Rosalie (similar to my nickname that some people give me, roseylee). My middle name is Elise, which is funny as it's not too dissimilar from Elizabeth, I suppose!

Justyouwaitandsee · 11/03/2015 07:37

Have you considered Rosa for the first name? Seems to flow a bit more into the surname for me...

Then perhaps a short middle name like May, Ann, Jane, Belle, Faith?

CoodleMoodle · 11/03/2015 07:27

We were going to have Rosie Elizabeth, but went for Alice instead of Elizabeth. It just seems to suit her!

Elizabeth was the first name I thought of when I saw this thread too.

RickOShay · 11/03/2015 07:23

Rose Valentina
Perfect IMHO.

SylvaniansAtEase · 10/03/2015 22:46

Rose Kennedy was JFK's mum wasn't she, and quite a powerful woman.

Before I even opened the thread I thought "Rose Elizabeth" but the pp's suggestion of a Scottish variation works well too.
