Rose when you already have a Fred?

Really love this as a first name - classic and beautiful IMO but suddenly had the thought this morning that when combined with DS's name - Fred, it isn't great.

Have a think if you haven't already twigged why.

Am I being over cautious? Would people associate it?

Everytime we think we have the girls name cracked it goes wrong again.

Alice will be the middle name btw.

I have to disagree with you Siambang/ Rosie would not be ok at a pinch!!

OP, if you like short names, Joy is lovely.

why not??? I have a Ruby and Rose but now LOVE edie!!

Oh now get it!!! doh!!!

No, you shouldn't use these 2 names together.

Crumplet, I know a Sam and Ella too. In Luton area... same ones????

My Mother used to work in a maternity hospital and had to point out to a Mr and Mrs Brady that Ian might not be the best choice of name for their newborn - that was in the 80's.

I immediately thought no to the combination but interestingly my niece, who's 20, didn't know why I thought it was a bad idea. She had no idea who Fred and Rosemary West were..

NO NO NO

Hell no

NO!!!!!

It's a bit like calling a girl Myra and a buy Hindley

Fred and Ginger
