Alternative to Rose.....

[islasoleil123]

So on my previous post there was a lot of negative feedback about Rose.
Reason for choosing Rose is I absolutely love everything Titanic, film and history. Rose seemed a natural choice.
There was also a wonderful nurse on their called Violet Constance Jessop.
I was thinking of Delilah as first name but also really love Sofia.
Please help me to find a name that reflects my love of the Titanic! Rose? Violet? Or something else?

Rose is lovely and so are Violet and Constance.
Rose Constance?

Marigold

@HoHoHoliday I love both. The history and the film. I'm aware Rose is from the film, hence why I'm considering Violet as she was on the Titanic and I somehow relate to her.
However, for a boy was going to use Dawson after jack and rose dawson, but that would be out if I used a real name for a girl.
Millvinas name was Elizabeth/Eliza. Really dislike long names, so Elizabeth is out. Eliza also can't be used.

If you love Rose go for it. All names will get negative comments, not everyone will like the name you pick

Rosa
rosalie
rosie
rosalind
rosemary
vivienne
ruby
lavender
scarlett
lily
alice
may
june
pearl
olive
iris
florence
edith
nora
clara
juliet
eve

There are loads of names meaning ocean or similar.

Oceana
Oceania
Océane
Marina
Mariana
Marella
Kaia
Moana

But if you love Rose don't let random people on the Internet put you off!

Cordelia? Means Jewel of the sea / heart / daughter of the sea. Pretty close to the Heart of the Ocean!

Rose is a lovely gentle sounding name

I like it

From the real event you could use,
Titania for the ship
Atlanta for the ocean
April for the date
Carpathia for the ship that came to rescue.
Margaret and Lucy, probably the two most notable female passengers.

From the film,
Rose
Molly
Ruth

If you like the name Rose then use it. Some people love it, some don't. So long as you love it that's all that matters.

FWIW, I get that people are fascinated by the Titanic. It's one thing naming after a film character that you like, but a bit macabre to name your baby after the moment 1500 people died.

I love the name Rose. I have an aunt in her 50s called Rose but I've never met another one before.

@ShutUpRomeoYouAreSoWeird
Most of those don't flow, hyphenated names are naff, Viola-Rose is two different flowers

Rhosyn/Roswen (Welsh) - neither are welsh names AFAIK. Rhosyn is the Welsh word for rose. Roswen looks made up, Rhoswen would make more sense but sounds like a location.

Bit outing but my DD 10 is called Sofia Rose. Rose after my nan. She loves her name but quite often says mum why didn't you just call me Rose and I have to say it would've been lovely. She has Polish roots though so we picked Sofia as a nod to that (thought it was too much to call her Zofia)

Not double barrelled. Rose is her middle name but she does have quite a few friends with rose as a middle name.

Some really lovely suggestions on here.

How about Cora?

@KirstenBlest

Seriously ...

Go with Rose.
I think it's a timeless classic name and you love it

If you love Rose then you should use it! Would Rose be the 1st name or middle name? I think Rose is classy and beautiful personally - I'm biased though as I've just named my new ds Megan Rose :) Sofia, Violet and Delilah are all lovely names that would go wonderfully with Rose if you choose it as a middle name or part of the first name! You've got great taste in names!

Do you mean versions of rose or short one syllable nam3s.
I like Rosie and Rosemary more the just rose.

If you like short classic names, I love Ruth, Beth, Jane.
Not one syllable but I love the simplicity of Ellen, Mary, Anna.

I can’t understand negativity around Rose - it’s a beautiful, classic name. Not too common, not too unusual, easy to spell, I can’t find a single bad thing to say about Rose as a name!

Just use Rose! What could be lovelier than a Rose?

I have a Rose.

Rose is beautiful and classic. Variations could be Rosa, Rosie, Rosanne or Rosanna.

I love Rose. Go with your heart ❤️

😂😂😂

I love Rose, and the longer Rosalie. I also think Constance (nn Connie) is very pretty. But honestly if you love Rose, go for it! It's timeless, classic and pretty. Congratulations!

I know someone who named both of their children after Titanic survivors. First and middle name of someone who survived and was listed in a newspaper or something. They were born before the film came out.

I think Rose as a first name is underrated. Go for it.
