Fear Not baby name lovers--Roseley is officially out! Thanks for all of your input.
We decided to draw between 2 options and reach a compromise.
1. Keep Rose as the MN (despite me not liking it) and I get to pick the first name
2. Scrap Rose all together and we pick a new FN and MN all together (despite the major love/life long desire to use Rose that my DH has).
We drew from a hat and option 1 got picked!
We are team green. Last name is one syllable and sounds like Cave.
DS #1 is Gideon
Possible Boy Names for this baby: August Elliott, Forrest Oliver
So help me with thoughts on these possible girl names:
1. Cecily Rose
2. Eleri Rose (*note that this is a legit Welsh spelling)
3. Hazel Rose
4. Adele Rose
5. Penelope Rose
6. Olive Rose
7. Lilia Rose
Any other suggestions? I prefer unique or uncommon (but not weird), slightly old fashioned names that are not in the top 100.
I prefer to avoid any more biblical names to keep our family from sounding like a walking version o the Old Testament.

Re: Follow up of the "Rosely" made up name post
I have thought about both Ingrid and Iris.
Is Ingrid TOOOO old lady?
Is Iris and Rose together too much flower-ness?
I love Forrest!
Gideon means warrior but also feller of trees/protector of the trees. I thought it would be a cute "hidden meaning" to have a little brother be named Forrest and the older brother have a name that means protector of trees. I'm a total dork for even thinking of that but I love hidden name themes!
Olive Rose - or Olivia Rose?
So glad you scrapped Rosely.
1. Cecily Rose Nice...I do like pp idea of Cecilia
2. Eleri Rose Not a fan
3. Hazel Rose OK, NMS but OK
4. Adele Rose NMS
5. Penelope Rose Like...I like the nn Poppy
6. Olive Rose NMS, I prefer Olivia even if it is popular
7. Lilia Rose OK...I prefer Lilianna.
I am really loving Eliza, Cordelia and Willa these days.
Ophelia, Imogen, Diana, Margo, Farrah, Fiona

i like Cecily its the only one I like
ps I love love love gideon
Adele gets my second vote with Penelope coming in third.
Olive and Hazel are two "color" names that are awkward paired with Rose (like you're saying "Green Rose" or "Brown Rose"). And Olive also being a noun (food) paired with another noun (flower) is also breaking one of my own personal naming rules as I find it tends to be awkward too.
2. Eleri Rose (*note that this is a legit Welsh spelling) Not a fan, never heard the name before
3. Hazel Rose Like pp said it sounds like a color plus a rose
4. Adele Rose Like it
5. Penelope Rose Loooove it
6. Olive Rose Again don't love the color with Rose
7. Lilia Rose Personally I don't like the name plus all I can think of is the song "Lida Rose" from the Music Man (but maybe that's just me)

Good luck choosing!
For your girl choices I like Cecily Rose but I love Cecilia Rose if that's an option.
2. Eleri Rose - I love this name! Very pretty! I love Welsh names though.
3. Hazel Rose - Adore! Heads up that there is a movie coming out next year called The Fault in our Stars based on a YA book about a girl named Hazel with terminal cancer. Something to consider with the name Hazel and your child being born around the same time as the movie. I still love the name though.
4. Adele Rose - Pretty!
5. Penelope Rose - It's a nice name, but I don't love it.
6. Olive Rose - I've never liked Olive personally, but it's not a bad name.
7. Lilia Rose - I prefer Lily or Lilah. Lilia seems made up.
I really like Cecily and Penelope. My daughter's name is Serena and we considered Rose as a middle name for a short while. I also like
Daphne Rose
Juliet Rose
Elaina Rose
Diana Rose
