A middle name for Rose?

[farmerswifey]

We have finally decided on a name for our very soon to be born DD; Rose Mallows, and we were wondering about a middle name. I was thinking something along the lines of Elizabeth (Hubby had a hideous old Aunt with that name so unfortunately that one is out) but can't really think of any others that fit. I really don't want to change the order of her name and would rather have no middle name than change them around - has anyone any suggestions?

I think that one-syllable names are tricky to put middle names with. Rose is one of them, along with Grace, May/Mae, Niamh.

Personally, I would aim for a 3 or 4-syllable middle name, such as:

Rose Carissa
Rose Felicity

To my ears, Carissa Rose and Felicity Rose flow better, but that's not necessarily true; it's just how the names sound to me. I understand that you'd rather have no middle name than put Rose as the middle name.

HTH!

MammaT

Rose Isabelle
Rose Charlotte
Rose Victoria
Rose Aurelia
Rose Sophia
Rose Emily
Rose Beatrice
Rose Matilda

I think that Rose Beatrice flows quite nicely.

Anne/Anna?

Vivienne

or Aurelia

Evangeline?

Rose Jemima
Rose Catherine
Rose Amelie
Rose Jessica
Rose Natasha
Rose Bethany
Rose Hannah

Hmmm yes I see what you mean it's difficult.

Rose Eleanor Mallows
Rose Felicity Mallows
Rose Jennifer Mallows
Rose Beatrice Mallows
Rose Bethany Mallows

I think three syllable or more sound better with a one syllable first name. :)

Rose Mallows, what a gorgeous name!!

Rose Penelope Mallows
Rose Aurelia Mallows
Rose Matilda Mallows
Rose Marina Mallows

Emilia

Bethany
Matilda
Emily
Dorothy

But actually Elizabeth is best of all-forget the horrid auntie :-)

Matilda is good.

Melody
Alexandra
Louisa
Juliette

just not Marie......

Constance

I'd pick something like

Rose Alexandra Mallows
Rose Susannah Mallows
Rose Josephine Mallows
Rose Evangeline Mallows
Rose Miriam Mallows
Rose Victoria Mallows

I would say don't make it a vowel. Initials can be tricky.

RAM
REM
RIM
ROM
RUM

Brilliant potential!

Rose Emilia/Amelia Mallows
Rose Victoria Mallows
Rose Olivia Mallows
Rose Cecilia Mallows
Rose Hermione Mallows
Rose Alexia Mallows

Rose Leanne :)

Leigh
Anna
Elinor
Faye
Isla
Petal :)
Beth

I love Rose as a first name. Much rarer than as a middle name and a gorgeous classic.

Agree a multi-syllable mn sounds best.

Rose Catherine Mallow
Rose Ramona Mallow
Rose Rebecca Mallow
Rose Amelia Mallow
Rose Tallulah Mallow
Rose Matilda Mallow
Rose Tabitha Mallow
Rose Juliet Mallow
Rose Lydia Mallow
Rose Ophelia Mallow
Rose Tamarind Mallow
Rose Juniper Mallow
Rose Penelope Mallow
Rose Philippa Mallow
Rose Eleanor Mallow
Rose Helena Mallow
Rose Iona Mallow

Rose Elizabeth was my instant thought on reading your title,
But all the suggestions are great.

Rose Romona or Rose Rebecca wave lovely slightly unexpected ring to them.

I'd have a Rebecca, but she's an Ex of DHs and he vetoed it.

have not wane, no idea how I managed that
