LOVE the name Rose! I think it's so simple and elegant. I wish my husband liked it or I would use it too! I think it's classic without being too overly popular like Emma.
I think it is dated but that is just me. For a middle name is it great but not a FN. If you are thinking that then maybe for you it is. Your ultimate decision is what counts.
I don't think it's too dated.............it is fairly popular in the UK - so it may become more popular in North America in the next few years (? as some names tend to).
Re: Do you think Rose is dated in the FN spot?
I think its a great fn. and not overdone or dated.
But then, I like "old" names
