Can't decide if timeless and classic or a bit too twee (or whether rose just too popular for a middle name)?

Help please!

I like it!

Nutsabouttopic · 19/06/2023 23:01

I love it. I have an Alice. It's timeless. She is late teens and her friends call her Ali. Alice Rose is beautiful

ellenpartridge · 19/06/2023 23:03

I like it. Classic and pretty name. Don't personally think it's boring. Alice was high on my list for my son if he had been a girl.

tableanadchairs · 19/06/2023 23:07

Perfect

DramaAlpaca · 19/06/2023 23:08

It's timeless and classic, really lovely.

Depending on surname, a slight variation like Alice Rosalind or Alice Rosamund would be a bit more quirky but still classic.

Poke · 19/06/2023 23:08

Lovely

continentallentil · 19/06/2023 23:16

Alice is nice, albeit a wee bit twee

However it’s v popular

Rose really is done to death as a middle name, so you might want to branch out a bit

user1492757084 · 20/06/2023 05:58

Alice Rose is lovely.

Also consider ..
Alice Rosalind - The S sounds are different lengths in each name and adds to a better sound over all.

Mojitosaremyfavourite · 20/06/2023 06:03

Nice enough but makes me think of Axel Rose the rock legend guy straight away.

My DD is Alice rose it suits her perfectly! So of course I’m biased but it’s a fabulous name 😊

PossiblyNotOne · 20/06/2023 08:20

Rose is utterly done to death as a middle name. It’s the equivalent of Louise.

StopStartStop · 20/06/2023 08:31

Both lovely names but not together.

Emma Rose.

Elizabeth Alice.

RosaSkye · 20/06/2023 08:37

I think it’s beautiful and refreshingly classic.

Rose is a very popular middle, but that’s because it sounds good with most names.

Alice Rosa?

Coronationstation · 20/06/2023 08:40

I love Alice but less keen on Rose and I find it quite hard to say them together because of “s” sounds being different.

KirstenBlest · 20/06/2023 08:55

Alice is lovely but Rose doesn't flow all that well and Rose, May and Grace are filler middle names.
Pick a different middle name.

The initials might not work with a surname like Simpson-Elliot.

Lindy2 · 20/06/2023 09:00

I like it. Both are pretty names and go well together.

OopsieeDaisy · 20/06/2023 09:04

It’s pretty but agree with others that Rose is a filler middle name that is way overused at the moment.

doggyadvicepls · 20/06/2023 09:26

Thank you all!
Agree rose is v.popular, although pretty.

I have always loved the name iris for a middle name but it doesn't go well at all with Alice does it?

Beautiful

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/06/2023 09:30

Alice is lovely but I think the fact that Rose is such a filler middle name makes the whole nane a little bland. I am a fan of unexpected middle names though.

Alice Rosa or Alice Rosalind would be a nice but similar alternative

Me too. Skimming the post headline, I thought it said Axl Rose at first...

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/06/2023 09:32

No sorry, Alice Iris doesn't flow well.

Alice Ivy
Alice Poppy
Alice Viola
Alice Flora
Alice Magnolia

NotEverORNever · 20/06/2023 09:34

No one will use the middle name so if you want her to be Alice Rose you would need to hyphenate it.

Either Alice orAlice-Rose are both lovely names

Frogmila · 20/06/2023 09:42

Alice Rosamund or Alice Rosemary are much more interesting

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 20/06/2023 09:46

It's my niece's name x
