The number of girls with middle name Rose has now reached critical mass and the World is going to explode in five minutes.

You can use it as a first name. That's all. Thank you.

you are right five of my five now have something -rose....

that made no sense... five of my friends now have a something - rose

Mine has Rose as a middle name as her grandma (named Rose) died when I was pg, am I exempt?

I will allow Rosemary. (not Rosemarie).

It's like Anne in the 60s or Jane in the 70s.
What was the filler name in the 80s?

Jayne (as in 70's but with a y). Only one of my school friends wasn't a Jayne.

deffo Louise for the 80s

In the late 70s and early 80s it was Louise, that isn't my middle name but is middle name of most girls I went to school with.

Mine is the other filler name of the 70s and 80s, Elizabeth.

80's was Louise

There are three of them in my antenatal group (out of 7 girls)...

x posted nork!!

lol x-posted

and x posted yesterday!

yes, Louise.

Also Mae - every name thread asking for middle names is filled with Mae/Rose suggestions.

pmsl!!!

aaaggghhhhh it's a x posting frezy!!!!

great minds and all that eh?

the middle names of me & my sisters (all born late 70's mid 80's) are Jane, Louise and Alexandra.
Always grew up thinking my younger sister had such a cool middle name!

I know lots of something-Jades from the late 90's

and I loveeed the name rose... btf I had boys

In DD's year at school (b1989-90) about 40 out of 200 girls had Louise as first or middle name - I remember counting them on the sign in list one parents evening while aiting to talk to the maths teacher.

There was a Louisa in my year at secondary school, she was very exotic among the groups of Emma, Louise, Laura, Claire, Sarah, Gemma...

Surely there must be some Elizabeths out there too?

DD has middle name Rose after my late grandmother, so I'm also pleading exemption.

It makes me laugh because of that old rhyme

Mary Rose
Sat on a pin
Mary rose.....

My SIL was called Mary Rose, and she got married fairly soon after the Mary Rose exhibition opened, which left her open to a lot of jokes at the reception - not helped by the fact that she was marrying a Mr Wright...
