Baby girl due in 4 weeks so working on a shortlist! Middle name will probably be Rose or Grace. What's people's opinions?

Thank you for the replies. It's interesting as when I've floated Erin with a few close friends I've had the screwed up nose back but it's favourite so far here! Grace is my middle name and a family name so will probably continue the tradition. Rose we just liked but I know it's a common middle name!

Erin. The othet two are a bit wishy-washy.

Erin Grace is lovely.

Erin is sweet, but not with rose. Too many r sounds.
It is also quite popular around here. I know 4 erins in ds school, and a baby Erin.
Grace was on my short list, but my great big nearly 9lb baby didn't look like a grace! She is a gangly, wobbly 2yo now, not at all graceful!
All nice names,
Freya grace would be my choice.

Love all 3, Freya is probably my favourite.

Erin or Freya

Erin Freya ?

Erin definitely.

I like them all, Erin is my favourite though. Not that it really matters but Rose is used a lot as a middle name at the mo, I know a little Freya Rose.

I'm not a big fan of Freya but that's just because I was given it as my 'viking name' on a school trip once so I have always thought of it as a bit weird. But that's just me! I love Erin and Esme. We are having Rose as a middle name too, it was my husband's grandma's name.

They're all lovely but Erin is my favourite

All nice. Esme can cause problems though- can be esmee or esmay.
Whilst rose or grace are pretty names in their own right they do sound like "filler" names when used as a middle name, IMO, sorry.
