Hi all
If my baby (25 weeks at the mo!) is a girl, we really want to use my late Grandma's name which was Alma. I also love the name Rose but I'm not sure how to pair it... I feel like Alma Rose flows better, but Rose is maybe a better first name for a little girl? Does Rose Alma work? (I expect we might use Rosie as a nickname either way)
Also there was a famous violinist in the war called Alma Rose with an accent on the 'e' of Rose - she was Jewish and a captive in auschwitz who directed an orchestra to entertain the nazi captives. Is it weird to use this, or is the link obscure enough?
Or do we use a different first name and keep Alma as a middle name, and save Rose for if we have another girl?! Surname is three syllables so don't want to use very long names.
Thoughts please!
( and please don't be mean about Alma if you don't like it, my grandma was an awesome lady and I really love the name)
Thanks folks xx
