What about Rose for a first name?

Kiss&Makeup · February 2011

I have always loved it for a middle name (mine) but what about Rose for a first name? nn Rosie ?

Rose is nice, just stick with that and no NN of Rosie, that makes me think of Rosie O'Donnell Ick!

I love the name Rose and the nn Rosie.

HappyMrsK · February 2011

I like it. It's sweet, simple and feminine.

Very nice. Much better as a fn than mn. Not that it's a terrible mn, just overused.

I like it for either FN or MN, im biased. :-)

Love!

I absolutely LOVE this name! I would never use it as a middle name because it's one of those filler mns that people use when they don't know what else to use! Rose as a fn takes on a new and beautiful life! It deserves the front stage! It deserves to not be pushed into the background with the rest of those filler middle names! Absolutely use it! Worry about nicknames later!

Name suggestions:

Rose Juliet

Rose Victoria

Rose Eleanora

I absolutely love it as a first name. I like it as a mn, too, but think it is way underused as a first name. Rosie is very cute. So is Rosita, which is what it would become in my house!

Agreed. I usually don't like super short first names for girls for some reason, but Rose is lovely. Classic, strong yet feminine, easy to spell and pronounce.

I love Rose as a FN! Unfortunately, DH has recently declared a distaste for flower names Sad

I LOVE it. DH doesn't. He likes Rosemary, which I don't like.

I LOVE it as a first name.

The Rosie O'Donnel reference wouldn't bother me personally, but I see why it would bother other people. Personally, I think of a character from "Boy Meets World" before I think of Rosie O'Donnell... but I realize that's not typical.

Sooo cute! Love it.

Mine did too--yet now he insists our daughter's name is Iris, and nothing else suits as well(he said this one gets a "bye" because of having multiple meanings/associations).
