Beatrice means 'bringer of joy'

Abigail means 'father's joy'

I prefer Rose Beatrice as the meaning is slightly more to my taste. DH likes the meanings but not keen on either middle name.

Rose Abigail.

Not keen on Beatrice.

Actually I prefer Abigail Rose as I think a short name is better as a middle name.

Beatrice is not nice with my accent - Beet-riss but may work better in other areas

Rose Beatrice, definitely.

Rose Abigail

I'd choose Rose Beatrice because like you I prefer the meaning of Beatrice.

As an alternative, how about Felicity which means happiness. Not quite the same meaning, but similar.

I chose DS3's middle name specifically for its meaning, so I understand how important it can be.

That's not really up for debate! Rose is the first name (if this baby is a girl) :)

I agree with TroysMammy - I like Abigail Rose best

For both names I think Rose sits better as a middle name. Rose as a name on it's own.
