Rose as a first name

[badkitty]

The only girl's name me and DH both seem to like - but I can't think of a middle name which works with it. Eg Catherine Rose (my first choice, but DH doesn't like Catherine) works well, but Rose Catherine just doesn't really roll off the tongue. Any suggestions?

Whatever you do, don't choose Marie

I think Rose Catherine sounds fine. Very pretty.

Rose doesn't seem to work with a middle name..but Rosie would

I really like it . Shame it's relegated to a middle name most of the time - I think Rose Catherine sounds very classy

Rosa is also very pretty.

Rose is very pretty (and much better than Rosa, which reminds me of cleaning ladies ).

Rose Catherine is all right... Catharine is my middle name and I don't think it's very exciting.

Rose Hermione? Rose Georgina?

but you never say the full name anyway. how many times will you say Rose Catherine? hardly ever. go for it.

I like Rosemary as well.

RC? lets hope your not catholic

Rose Catherine Anne

Rose Livia?

Rose Jemima?

Rose Gabrielle

I think you need a hard vowel sound after the soft 's' and soemthing long as contrast.

Trying hard to thik of others.

Actually, ignore the hard vowel sound as Rose Elizabeth sounds lovely as well.

Rose Catherine is beautiful and classy and agree that you never really say the whole name after the first few weeks when you're telling people their name anyway.

My DS2's names are lovely but sound a but silly when you use the diminutive of both (like Tommy Johnny ) but we didn't realise that at the time and obviously don't call him that anyway!

Rose is lovely. After a single syllable first name, I think four syllables sound good for a middle name. How about Elizabeth, Olivia, Amelia or Isabella?

kitty rose?

rose is dd1's mn and she is Ella Rose

lovely name for either first name or mn

My middle name is Rose but I was named after my father's mother whose real name was Rosina. My DF forgot to tell my mother this though which is why I have the shortened version.

Anyway, Rosina Catherine is very pretty imo and you can still call your DD Rose for short.

I LOVE Rose.

Rosemary Catherine is what I like but then I would say that
Maybe known as Rose or Rosie.

rosalyn or Rosalind are both nice too

Rose Isabel/Isobel?
Rose Olivia?

Rose Amelia
Rose Eliza
Rose Augusta
Rose Anastasia

basically I think many names with 3 or more syllables might work, depending on your surname.

Rosario? Roisín?
We have an Elizabeth Rose in our family.
And my DD's second name is Rose - with a 3 syllable first name.
Catherine is lovely as Kitty, or Kit, or Catrióna.
So Rose Kitty / Catherine sounds lovely.
like your MN name! Kitty seems to be a theme?

I love Rose, and I like some of these other cominations suggested here (Rose Elizabeth sounds lovely). However ,don't forget to look at her initials too, especially if you have a middle name starting with a vowel.

Rose Sophia
Rose Francesca
Rose Ayesha
Rose Maya
Rose Ella
Rose Elena
Rose Clara
Rose Antonia
Rose Alexandra
Rose Alicia
Rose Beatrice
Rose Mae/Maeve
Rose Martha
Rose Florence
Rose Caterina for variation on Catherine?

Possibilities are endless; agree it sounds better with longer middle name
