Would this be silly

[Penny32]

Our dd surname will be Green, we really like the name Rose, I can't help but think Rose Green may be a little bit silly? What do you think?

No I think it's fine - what would the middle name be?

it's okay. don't over think.

Rosa Green flows better than Rose Green IMO. But no, it's not silly.

It's okay, but I don't love it. What about Rosanna, Rosalind or Rosalie?

Was going to suggest Rosemary, Rosie, Rosalind, Rosalie, Rosanne.

Teresa would be bad though.

I know a Rose West.

Theresa would make my eyebrows jump, but not Rose. I think it'll work fine.

It’s fine. Simple and sweet.

She wasn't asking you to love it, or for other suggestions, only if it would be silly .. which it isn't.

OP definitely go for the name if you both like it :).

I think it’s fine 🙂 Rose is a beautiful name.

I think it's really nice

It's not great.
How about Jade, Emerald or Sage?

It's okay, but not great. I love the name Rose, but would feel a bit self-conscious about having that combination. I also feel that two names with one syllable don't always sound great together, and that lack of a good rhythm adds to the issue here.

Agree with this it’s the two names one syllable, it sounds very flat a bit ‘Jane Doe’

When I hear Rose Green in my head, I think, but isn't it rose red?

Rosa Green sounds like 'rows of green' too.

Rosa or Rosanna with the nn Rose would be lovely.

@MikeUniformMike you're kidding, right?

@Penny32 Rose or any variation isnt silly w your surname and is v nice

“Was going to suggest Rosemary, Rosie, Rosalind, Rosalie, Rosanne”.

Agree with this.

Rosemary Green is no different from Rose Green or Sage Green.
Rosa Green could be misheard as Rose are Green.
Sadly we can’t always use our first choice of name because of our surname.

Agree that it sounds really flat, but not silly.

Yes I was kidding TheDaydreamBelievers.

I'd avoid a noun or adjective name. Poor Rose (Rosa/Rosemary/...) would get a lifetime of it.

A two syllable name would go better, something like Sophie Green or Katie Green seems prettier.

It's more that it sounds jerky, with the two single syllable names - doesn't flow very well.

It's fine. Wouldn't think anything of it. And unlike PPs I like it being two short names - clean and strong!

Sorry @MikeUniformMike! Sense of humour failure with the stresses of today!

It’s perfectly fine
