Middle name for "Rose"?

Stace0616 · October 2013

Sooo we've picked out our boy name but are struggling on the middle name for a girl. We have a long three-syllable German last name that starts with "V". DH wants simple names that cannot be misspelled/mispronounced so all we have been able to agree upon is "Rose (something) V". Which I adore because I love old-fashioned flower names from the 1900s.

He has already shot down my favorite girl name (Annelise) so it's not like we can use that as a middle name. It appears as though Rose is a super versatile MIDDLE name, but not so much the other way around. Wondering if any of you ladies have any suggestions?

I saw this and immediately thought Rose Katherine!

I know several people that have Rose as a middle name, but I don't think I know anyone with Rose for a first name. We're doing Elizabeth for a middle name. That kinda goes with Rose.

I think a classic name like Elizabeth, Catherine/Katherine, Elena, Corinne...along those lines.

Lynn, Leigh, Claire.... is all I can really come up with right now.... Good luck

Rose Mary? Just kidding.

REV could be some cute initials!

I've told everyone I want a boy but I'm secretly hoping for a girl. How cute would a shabby chic nursery with old botanical rose prints be?? I think as long as she liked watching baseball with DH he'd be happy lol

I second Lyn or Lynn

Our first is Charlotte Rose. I see it a lot as a middle name, but not as a first. I think it would work - especially if you have a long last name.

How about Eva -- nice and simple. Or Evie could be cute -- and really give "Rose' a fun flapper twist.

or some other cute german names that could work: Astrid, Brigitte, Emma, Ilsa

I was thinking of Eva too. Or maybe Eveline

My first thought was Marie, but then I realized how similar it was to rosemary and thought of the spice... but I still like Rose Marie

I like Rose as a middle name too bc it's mine

My maiden name was also German

bacorrea · October 2013

I also immediately though Rose Elizabeth.

Madeline?! I just thought of that. Rose is a pretty name that will age well in all life stages

I think since Rose is so short that a longer middle name is good. And yes Rose is a classic so i would stick with classic for the middle name too. I absolutely love Katherine (spelled either way) and a close second is Elizabeth. Plus if she absolutely hates Rose as a first name both middle names are great names too and can be shortened to fit a long last name( ie Kat V, LizV, Beth V, ect)
As a girl with a short name and terrible middle name I promise that this IS important, lol

Good luck!!!
