Re: Rose?
in reply to a message by frances1
I don't think it's too short/boring. I'm really surprised it's not used more nowadays. It's really quite sweet IMO. Sweet, memorable, distinctive, easy to pronounce, easy to understand, easy to recognize. It's a pretty much perfect first name for a modern baby IMO.
It's a bit short-sweet for my "hypothetical child 4real" taste, but I like a lot of short sweet names A LOT and think they're very sensible and dignified.
Having said all that, I'm referring to it mostly as a first name, although it's a sweet middle name as well - it's just much more common there, and wouldn't ever get used. My parents considered naming my little sister Anna Rose but they went with Anna Frances. I decided to tell you that since you are Frances posting about Rose :P
