Please help me decide! Middle name will be Elizabeth. Thank you! xx

I'd also go for Elizabeth Rose. I think names look unbalanced when the middle name is much longer than the first one.

Tatum1234 · 07/06/2020 14:19

Rosa is also lovely.

Epigram · 07/06/2020 14:19

Rose

Tatum1234 · 07/06/2020 14:18

Rose is much nicer, June is very dated although I love Juno.

KatherineJaneway · 07/06/2020 14:18

Rose

I'm afraid I prefer the names the other way round

Elizabeth June or Elizabeth Rose.

I don't think either of them work well the other way (June Elizabeth or Rose Elizabeth)

I love Rose but I'd pick a different middle name.

I dont really like either, but enough with the Roses/Rosas/Rosies now!!!

BashandSparrow · 07/06/2020 11:12

I think Rose goes better with Elizabeth. But I think Rose is starting to become popular and a little over used. June is just as delightful but it’s a little more fresher and unheard of.

Both are beautiful, sweet names though Smile

June sounds dated and not in a good way - Terry and June.

Rose is lovely, and I think goes better with Elizabeth.

June!

CourtneyLurve · 07/06/2020 09:27

My friend's kid is called Juniper with 'June' and 'Juni' as nicknames. I love Rose but it does feel a bit overused, atm.

June

June is lovely.
Rose is ok but it's very overused I think.

buildingbridge · 07/06/2020 01:49

June us nice but it screams "old"... like an old persons name. What about a variation of Rose, i.e. Rosa? Rosemary?

Edenember · 07/06/2020 01:30

@Tutina02 Rose would be my preference (I’ve used it myself) although they’re both lovely and other pps are right about June being less commonplace if such things bother you

ReginaGeorgee · 06/06/2020 22:24

June 😍

PrincessLouis · 06/06/2020 22:17

A million per cent Rose! Love it!

emilybrontescorsett · 06/06/2020 10:31

Rose is much nicer.
June is old fashioned.

copperoliver · 06/06/2020 06:13

Rose x

Bluntness100 · 06/06/2020 05:42

Rose.

June is a bit “Terry and June“ and feels dated.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 06/06/2020 05:25

June is an old lady's name. I'd go for rose.

babynamelover · 06/06/2020 04:00

June is stunning. My daughter's name is a variant of June and we often call her that for short or Junebug.

June Elizabeth is lovely.

Mish85 · 06/06/2020 02:49

Both lovely names but I prefer June as more unique and just has a lovely gentle sound.

NietzschePeachPearPlum · 06/06/2020 02:42

Rose. Nothing lovelier than a rose 🌹

June
