As a first name, definitely Rose

They're all gorgeous, but probably Rose nn Rosie.

:)

I vehemently prefer Rose to both Grace and Kate.

I love them all...(m)

---

But I suppose I'll pick Grace.

I love Kate, full name Katherine. Rose is a name as well, but I prfer the flower name Lily.

Hands down, Kate (either on its own or as a NN for Katherine). I think Kate is so classy & elegant. Personally, it's one of my top favorites. I go back and forth between liking it as a NN for Katherine or all on its own. A great choice, either way, imo!

Following in second would be Grace. It's popular but with good reason. It has a sweet, classic sound to it. I find it quite lovely.

---

Rose seems better-suited as a MN imo. Perhaps that's because I'm more used to seeing it there, but nevertheless, it has a nice sound to it. Just not a favorite of mine as a FN.

I like Kate/Katherine. Grace and Rose are too "old" to me, but Kate is good for any age.

Rose

I just think it's the most beautiful of the three. (That said, I do also love Katherine nn Kate.)

Kate, then Rose and Grace

Kate is without a doubt my favorite. Rose is nice, but I prefer it as a nn for Rosalie, Rosaline, or Rosemary, because it just seems to short. Grace has always seemed like a name to curse whoever was named it with eternal clumsiness, and this is not just a strange idea that came to me, it has held true in experience with every Grace i have met. Kate just has such a classic, strong, and beatiful feel. It can be fun and playful or serious and commanding. Kate is one of the nn that I think has the most behind it.

Grace wins hands down! I hate both Rose and Kate, the only Rose names i like are Rosemary and Primrose. Kate, i prefer as a nn for Katherine.

Rose. I only like Kate if it's not a nn for Katherine. Grace is OK.

Love them all, but it's gotta be Rose.

Katherine nn Kate.
Grace and Rose are nice, but they don't have the same feel as Katherine to me. And Kate is so simple, yet so versatile.

Kate sounds the nicest of these, imo. It's very short and clean, but elegant.

I tend to like certain names better than others because of the way they sound. Occasionally spelling or personal associations have something to do with it as well.

Not Grace

Grace. I don't know. it just seems to have more to it for some reason to me.
although you know, I am a bit biased towards Rose as it is my name. haha.

A tough choice, but I absolutely love Rose as a first name. It's gorgeous.

Katherine "Kate"

Rose. I am sick of Kate (I know ridiculous amounts of them) and Grace is okay, but I don't really feel it has much of a spark. Rose is sassy and cute.
