Middle name to use with Rose as a first name?

Love Rose as a first name, but feel it needs a middle name of maybe 3 syllables and can't come up with one we agree on.

Surname is two syllables beginning with T (fairly common) so want to avoid initials RAT, ROT etc which is a pain as a lot of the possibilities I like begin with A!

Any ideas? Quite like Isadora but DH not sure.

My DD is Rose Hermione. We wanted 4 syllables for the middle name and I love the Harry Potter books!

Rose Elizabeth is my first choice if dc4 is a girl. DH wants Mary Elizabeth.

I think Rose rocks!

Thanks so much everyone, some great ideas for me to mull over... Just need to wait till DH feels in the mood for another epic baby name discussion now!
Glad people seem to think Rose isn't too popular as a first name at the moment, I know it is being used plenty as a middle name but I like it too much to hide it away in the middle!

I have a primrose Elizabeth Smile And personally I don't think Elizabeth as a middle name with Taylor is a problem. First name yes, but middle name no. Rose is a gorgeous name and I'm sure she'll live up to it.

(RET isn't too bad? Not like ROT, RUT, RAT anyway).

I love Madeleine, Evangeline and Francesca suggestions.

I think mn Elizabeth with surname Taylor would be a bit Hmm.

I wouldn't go with Elizabeth if your surname is Taylor, sorry.

What about simply Rose Beth?

I don't wish to post her full name, but I know a Rose whose name is Rose two-syllables four-syllables surname. The meter works really well. It's fairly uncommon to have Rose as a first, not a middle, name.

Mine is Rose Margaret, it's a family name but I wouldn't have picked it if I didn't like it! Smile

Liking Elizabeth. Does it matter that surname is Taylor though?
