Thoughts on Emily Rose? Is it too sweet and unsubstantial?

I think it’s pretty but I think it was very common combination about 20 odd years ago when Emily was popular so I’d imagine many would be concentrated in the 20-30 age range. I know there’s alot of discourse on here about the middle name rose being a filler and boring, I have no family connection to it and I am one of them people who would be choosing it just for how it sounds.
I know middle names aren’t used anyway so I may be overthinking but the full name is important imo.
I would appreciate your thoughts and any other suggestions would be appreciated

I think it's a lovely, classic name

Congratulations!

For me it’s a little too common, I like more unusual names. If you really love it though, you should use it.

id personally go for a twist like Emily Rosalind / Emily Rosamund/ Emily Rosalie.
