Girl names to go with Rose?

36 replies

Hello all!
Currently pregnant with DC2, and have been brainstorming a few names. We've picked a boys name, but are stuck for a girls name.

We quite like the idea of having a double barrel first name with the name Rose in there somewhere. For example Amelia-Rose.

Can anyone help with any names that go well with Rose? Thanks! X

Hyphenated names with Rose are starting to go out of fashion and I think will be seen as a bit dated in a few years' time. You could ways choose a longer name that incorporates Rose instead:

Rosalind
Rosamund
Rosalie
Rosemary

Or go with it as a middle name?

Love Heidi!! Heidi-Rose is lovely.

I think Rose is a beautiful standalone first name. Or fine as a middle name. Personally, I'm not keen on double barrelled first names - I think they're often thought of as quite downmarket and can sound quite cutesy. Also like Rosa and Rosalie if those are options.

I would have Rose as a stand alone middle name, not a hyphenated first name. We have middle names to remember our dead relatives.

Aahhggg just read your update!!

Rose/Rosa/Rosie have been done to death over recent years. Are there any other names you like?

We expect it to be shortened, that's not an issue. My DH wants the name Rose after his sister who sadly passed.

Loving Heidi-Rose, thanks for the suggestion!

Amelia-Rose has 5 syllables in it. You do realise it will very likely get shortened in school. If you are set on doing this, then choose a name with only 2 syllables in the first part.
Marie Rose
Amber Rose
