Rose as a first name?

Found out recently that DC2 is a girl. I've always loved the name Rose and luckily DH does too. So I think we're probably going to go with that, but (in keeping with my character as a natural worrier) I am now questioning our choice. I know it's popular as a middle name at the moment but that doesn't really bother me as middle names aren't often used. But is it a bit boring / twee?

Also - any suggestions for middle names? I'm keen for something from either mine or DH's family, so options are:

Elizabeth (my favourite)
Betty
June
Barbara
Mary
Anne/Anna/Annie
Sylvia
Violet (too many flowers!)
Mina
Miriam
Pamela
Jane
Probably others if I dug around a bit more.

Rose Elizabeth is perfect @MunsteadWood

Do you mind me asking what your DS is called? I think we have the same taste girls names wise but I really struggle with boys’ names

Rose Elizabeth definitely. The others all seem a bit dated.

Rose Eleanor and Rose Imogen go well too.

Rose Elizabeth is gorgeous.

Rose Elizabeth is lovely. If your worried about the common middle name you could always vary it and use Rosa? Also works well with Elizabeth

I have a Rose Elizabeth. In her 20s now. Independent, dynamic, sweet hearted, beautiful and clever as hell. She's dynamite❤

Yes, it's very boring! But I personally think all of your name choices are..

Rose is quite unusual as a first name. It goes well with Elizabeth. My middle name is Elizabeth. :)
