Does Rose merge into our surname?

[LadyOfTheFlowers]

Very similar to Simpson.

as a first or a middle name?

Yes, IMO.

Rose Simpson would sound like Row Simpson

As the first name - I suspected it did.

Same as I can't use Lois as it becomes 'Lowie'.

Oh what a crap surname.

would you consider Rosalind then, known as Rose?

DH doesn't like Rosalind.

He likes Rose or Sophia.

Luisa known as Lois?!?

Sophia Simpson sounds very cool!

Thanks Plonker, I think so too, but had to have one last plug with Rose, just to be sure.

Rosamund.

Rosanna?

I don't think it does - Rose Simpson or Rose Samson sounds lovely to me. You don't often use the full name - only at the doctors/schol register etc and there's certainly no teasing potential, which is always something to be wary of.If you love the name, go with it!
We have a surname beginning with a vowel, so all girls names ending in a vowel sound a bit odd with it. We went for one ending in "e" anyway as we liked the name and it's never been a problem. DD is quite happy with the sound of her full name tbh, it's been much less of a big deal than we imagined.

I love Rosanna. And Rosa.

I don't think Rose runs into the surname badly at all.

I have heard far 'worse' examples of first and surnames running together on actual people with the names - the amount of times you say the two names together, it would be a shame to forego a name you love for that reason.

Rosalind is such a pretty name - shame your DH doesn't like it!

Roisin?

Roisin means little rose

I am not overly keen on Rosalind. I don't like the Ros bit sounding like Roz. I prefer ones like Rosina where the first sound stays Rose iykwim?

I am very tempted to go with Rose.

Do you think I could get away with it? If you pronounce the words correctly it works, no?

You make the 'oze' sound and then the 'Si..' sound for the start of Simpson.

Yes, it sounds good together. Go for it!

I honestly think Rose Simpson sounds fine, but thought I'd chip in to mention that at work I have to answer the phone with my full name, so I say mine all the time.
