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!

It actually is helpful poocatcherchampion Grin

What were your next best names reserved for dd2 if you don't mind me asking? We obviously have similar taste!

We've got a Rosie Elizabeth. Tbh I don't desperately like it, but is in the family and we couldn't decide on a middle name and didnt want to use up our best names in case of further DDS.

So that's helpful.

Thanks temperamentalamongcorvids I love the name Rose. Jocasta looks so pretty written down, I've never heard of that name how do you pronounce it?

Rose is a fantastic first name, it's so nice to see it other than in the mn slot.

Rose Morven
Rose Ishbel
Rose Iona
Rose Ailsa

...all have a Scottish vibe.

Otherwise how about;

Rose Clemency
Rose Matilda
Rose Letitia
Rose Jocasta

Rose Margaret
Rose Alison..... Not sure with K surname tho'
Possibly better for middle name to begin with a consonant rather than a vowel Smile

Think about syllables. Rose is short. If your surname is short, I'd like a 3-syllable middle name, like Rose Teresa Green. (Sorry, couldn't resist it, but I am serious!)

Thanks but I'm definitely keen on keeping Rose as a first name, maybe I'm over thinking the middle name part and it's not necessary or inspiration will come from this thread!

Rek may not be too good.

Catriona (or Katrina) Rose

What does your surname begin with?
If it's 'd' your poor daughter could be called red ie her initials.
