semi s/o: Roseann

I've posted a few times about our girl choice:  Margaret.  I've been mulling over middle name options.  DH really likes Ann and it would honor his deceased mother.  I've always liked Ann (though I do prefer Anne but he's not budging), even as a first name.  But for some reason I find Margaret Ann, so plain.  I really like Margaret Rose but he really wants Ann and I also can't get past the fact that it's a royal name (Queen Elizabeth's sister's name- but I know very few know that, just stuck in my head is all).

So what about Margaret Roseann?  Too much of a mouthful?  We have a 2 syllable last name.  Is it weird that I can't get over the Queen's sister's name but I can get over the Roseanne Barr association?  Lol.

I think it works. Roseann looks a little unfinished to me, but since it's to honor his mother, I don't mind it so much. 

I do think of Rosanne Barr, but since you're not using it as a FN, I'll say that it's no big deal. I think Margaret Roseann sounds great.

I agree. It is a bit of a mouthful, but how often will you say the whole name? Not often enough to make it a big deal.

I think it is a nice compromise.
