Hi we can’t decide on a middle name for
Emilia. We both like rose but it has no meaning. Elle would be naming her after me and her sister. But not sure Emilia Elle goes? Surname begin with b and has one syllable. Thanks

Elle doesn't flow and Rose is blah and overused.

Sorry.

I love middle names having family links, so if there are just the 3 females in your family (no DD3 to feel left out?), then I say use Elle after her mum and sister. Also Rose is such a popular middle name that there will be a lot of Emilia Rose's about, so why not have something less commonplace for your DD?

Emilia Elle doesn't flow quite as well as Emilia Rose, but it doesn't sound bad (plus middle names aren't used on a daily basis so all that really matters is how the first name sounds with the surname.).
