What do people think of Rosa and Ellowen for a middle?

I like Rosa, but did misread Ellowen as Halloween.

L.O.N. ?

Gillybobs · 30/01/2012 15:20

I did the very same thing. Love Rosa though.

woolly76 · 30/01/2012 15:22

Or Rosa Elowyn ( a cornish name meaning elm)

Love Rosa, don't think it goes with Ellowen.

Rosa is lovely. Not wild about your MN choices personally.

Rosa Eleanor
Rosa Erin

Rosa and Elowyn are both nice. Not sure they "flow" together very well though.

Rosa is lovely - Ellowen sounds like 'Halesowen' to me. Not a pretty name for a town, so certainly not good on a girl.

freerangeeggs · 30/01/2012 19:20

Elowen is lovely. The vowels run together a bit though - I prefer Rose Elowen or Elowen Rosa. I've never seen it spelled Ellowen but it's lovely too.

Do you pronoune it ELL-oh-en or eh-LOW-en?

Bunbaker · 30/01/2012 19:23

I loive Rosa, but don't think it goes with Ellowen.

MillontheFloss · 30/01/2012 19:28

I too think the vowels jar and sound clumsy. Better to have a strong consonant at the end of the first name if starting the middle name with a vowel. Agree that Ellowen Rose sounds better. How about Rose Ellen or Ellen Rosa? Ellowen is lovely though and Rosa, just not together IMO.

Halloween is all I see.

Kaekae · 01/02/2012 16:33

Yep, my eyes went all funny and read it as Halloween too.

Clawdy · 01/02/2012 16:38

Both sound rather lovely to me...
