Too Regal?

I really like the name Edward if bump is a boy, and DP's middle name is John (it's also his Grandad's name) and for these reasons we would quite like the middle name to be John, but does Edward John sound too regal?

If it's a girl I quite like Felicity Rose. Is this too "middle class" (I live in an ex council house, so we are far from middle class!!)

I also like Arthur and Isobel!!

I've got 16 weeks til my due date so plenty of time to make up my mind, but I would just like to have an idea of people's immediate reactions to these names.

Edward John and Felicity Rose are both beautiful names

My son is 8 weeks old and he is called Edward James. Very regal, but suits His Lordship perfectly!

I really like both your suggestions. Edward can also be ned or ted or teddy. I knew a fantastic felicity whose nn was Flick.

Rose goes better with felicity than Beth imo. I think you need one syllable. Anne?
