DD due in May so still have some time to decide, but choosing names is fun, so might as well waste some time thinking about it.

DH is leaning towards Rose, me towards Elizabeth. I also like Margaret (Meg) although he is less keen on that.

My concern with Elizabeth is it is quite popular (in top 50) where we are. Rose or Margaret don't feature in top 50. My concern with Rose is that while it is not popular as a first name, it is done to death as a middle name and therefore by default, is it a bit "done" even for a first name? Have the flower names been overused?

I have no concerns about Margaret - I love it. DH however is not as keen so I think I would struggle to get it across the line.

Middle name will definitely be Catherine. DS is George so I want it traditional to match George.

Any other suggestions welcome!

Margaret or Margot would be my vote. Think Rose will definitely be gaining in popularity as first name in oz too. Elizabeth I find a bit dull.
