Thoughts on Emily Rose? Is it too sweet and unsubstantial?

[Chasepaw5]

I think it’s pretty but I think it was very common combination about 20 odd years ago when Emily was popular so I’d imagine many would be concentrated in the 20-30 age range. I know there’s alot of discourse on here about the middle name rose being a filler and boring, I have no family connection to it and I am one of them people who would be choosing it just for how it sounds.
I know middle names aren’t used anyway so I may be overthinking but the full name is important imo.
I would appreciate your thoughts and any other suggestions would be appreciated

Emily Grace

@Fivelegged you ruined the ending!!!

@Chasepaw5 , it's a lovely feminine name and if you don't mind the ubiquity, go for it!

Lovely classic name but I like it Spelt Emilie Rose

The film scared me so much, I can't think of anything else when I hear that name.

Emilie Rose looks like an attempt to make a completely ordinary name seem different or couldn't decide between Emily and Amelie.

Emily is nice but how about a different flower-y name for a middle name

Emily Iris
Emily Primrose
Emily Flora

I like it. Everyone knows a nice Emily.
Can take or leave the Rose. It feels like Rose is just there for the sake of it. Although it’s also nice as an individual name.

I like that there’s a lot of history to both names.

It feels like Rose is just there for the sake of it.
It's the Anne/Jane/Louise of its time.

How about something a but more interesting as a middle name? There must be 1000s of names to choose from.

Emily Juliet Surname or something.

Too beige!

Pretty but boring

I know an Eleanor Rose

I think it's lovely. Guess if you really wanted to you could go for Amalie but Emily Rose will stand her in good stead for whatever she would like to do in life.

Amalie - bad spelling of Amelie.

@NamingNoNames it's a traditional name in Denmark and Germany for example.

Oh OK. How does one say it?

I do find Emily a little bit insipid, but there's nothing wrong with it per se.

Emily Rose is the name of a horror movie as already mentioned on here, so that's quite off-putting.

I love Emmeline though as an alternative to Emily.

It is a bit insipid, but it’s a pretty name. Are there any other names you like?

It’s lovely! I would love to be called it, and I think it’s a beautiful name for your baby girl!

you won't be saying the full name unless you hyphenate it though, so in some ways it doesn't really matter (only to be used in case the child doesn't like their first name, and Rose is nice).
For alternatives what about Emily Elizabeth?

It's a classic and lovely. There's no way it will ever be classed as dated and regularly has popularity spikes, more than most other names. I know Emily's aged from newborn all the way up to 90yo.
It's currently a pretty popular name in my area with primary aged children. There also seem to be lots of...

Emily Grace,
Emily Jane,
Emily mae,
Emily Elizabeth.

These are all popular names in my children's circles of friends as well as Emily Rose.

I think it’s nice but I have a Rose Léonie (we’re French). There will be a few though (although probably older) if it bothers you.

It's pretty but too bland for me personally.
Even though I'm a fan of names being spelled as expected, in this case I like Emilie better (as in Sande). I would also want to go for something more striking in the middle
Emilie Rosamund
Emilie Rosanne
Emilie Rosalind
But if you want that simple one syllable middle maybe something less expected
Emilie Faye
Emilie Jean
Emilie Pearl
Emilie Wren
Moving away altogether from Emily/Emilie you might like
Evelyn, Mallory, Polly, Emmeline.

It seems to vary based on language, but the German pronunciation is pretty close to the English pronunciation of Amalia.

Thanks. Is thar Am-ARL-ya or Amal-EE-a?

arl in a non-rhotic accent.

Gorgeous. She’ll never use her middle name anyway, so it really doesn’t need switching to eg Rosalind.
