[Opinions] Re: Rose
in reply to a message by little emi
Rose is wonderful as a first name, so sweet, classic, and colorful. It's not frilly or old-ladyish at all, imo. Instead, it's one of the few names that manages to be simple and lush at the same time. I love it.
I prefer Rose alone, but it's also nice as a nn for Roseline, Rosamund, Rosalie, Rosanna, Rosemary, and so on. I'm willing to use Rose as a nn even if the longer name begins with a sound closer to RAWZ than ROHZ.
Possible sibs: Adela, Eleanor, Catherine, Frances, Arthur, Luke, William, Elliot. I think any name that doesn't sound like a really modern invention would work. I'd avoid other nature names just because I think they'd be too matchy.
Rose Eliana
Rose Patricia
Rose Guinevere
Rose Bethany
Rose Diana
Rose Julia
