Message: "Rose?" - Behind the Name

Rose?

WDYT of Rose? I am completely in love with it at the moment. So much so that I think if I was to have a baby right this second, Rose would have a serious chance of overthrowing all my long term favourites. My top girls name for some time though has been Ruby...is it completely out of the question to have a Ruby and a Rose as sisters?

Combo suggestions?

I am not really too fussed about honouring or anything at the moment although possible contenders for a second mn would be Leonie or Deborah after my Aunts. So go crazy! :)

Thanks!

#Rose

I really love Rose. It's so simple and sweet, but still strong. Rose and Ruby would be an okay sibset, but not great.

Rose Leonie
Rose Helena
Rose Maria
Rose Eleanora
Rose Beatrice
Rose Isla
Rose Ophelia

I really like putting Rose with middle names starting with "A", for some reason.

Rose Ariel
Rose Adelaide
Rose Amata
Rose Antonia
Rose Amelia

Sorry, but this has got to be one of my least favourite names (apart from stuff like Blair, Sloane, Mackenzie). I find it dowdy and dull, and I don't see why everyone else seems to rave about it.

Ruby and Rose are ok if you don't mind the same initial. I do like Ruby.

Ruby was my fave too, but I have a niece with the name, so can't use it. I think Rose is gorgeous too and honestly think Ruby and Rose would be gorgeous for sisters! Some combos I like are:

Ruby Mae and Rose Olivia
Ruby Katherine and Rose Elizabeth
Ruby Josephine and Rose Elizabeth
Ruby Hannah and Rose Bianca
Ruby Clara and Rose Jemima
Ruby Charlotte and Rose Abigail
Ruby Lucinda and Rose Veronica
Ruby Tabitha and Rose Georgiana

Rose is really pretty as a first name. It is simple and sounds fresh. I think it is really nice name. I don't think Rose and Ruby would be an odd sibset--kind of cute actually!

I love Rose for a 1st name and Rose and Ruby are adorable together.

Rose Blossom and Ruby Sky

Rose Philomena and Ruby Josephine

I love Rose as a first name. It's among my top ten for girls. I think the name is feminine and strong (which is one of my favorite combinations for a female name).

I definitely think Ruby and Rose are too much for sisters.

My favorite Rose combo is Rose Mathilde (ma-TEELD). It's also one of my favorite combos in general.

These are the rest of the Rose combos currently on my list: Rose Adelaide, Rose Adele, Rose Alethea, Rose Alexandra, Rose Althea, Rose Amabel, Rose Amandine, Rose Amélie, Rose Annebet, Rose Beatrice, Rose Beatrix, Rose Bronwen, Rose Camille, Rose Caroline, Rose Catherine, Rose Celestine, Rose Charlotte, Rose Clarimonde, Rose Corisande, Rose Delphine, Rose Delphinia, Rose Eleanora, Rose Eleonora,

I love seeing filler mns used as fns. Rose is so simple and enduring that it makes a gorgeous fn. But Ruby and Rose as siblings would make my teeth hurt.

Rose Leontine ("LAY-un-teen"), to honor Leonie perhaps?

Rose Myfanwy ("mi-VAWN-wee") is my favorite combo. But it's an acquired taste. So how about:

Rose Morwenna
Rose Elena
Rose Laurentia ("lo-REN-shuh") / Laurentine ("LOR-en-teen")
Rose Mairead
Rose Eibhlin
Rose Dominique
Rose Veronique
Rose Lucienne
Rose Pascaline
Rose Brigitte (German pronunciation works best, I think)
Rose Melusine
Rose Wilhelmina
Rose Anastasia
Rose Ariadne
Rose Evadne
Rose Theodora
Rose Victoria
Rose Genevieve
Rose Lucinda
Rose Antonella

I adore Rose. I'ts so feminine, soft and sweet. Ruby is lovely also. I used to love it. Ruby and Rose are cute together, but maybe too cute?

Rose Leonie is my fav combo from your list. :)

It's okay, but it seems like EVERYONE is using it these days. No, not out of the question as to to Ruby/ Rose thing, but I hate Ruby.

I actually prefer Rosalie or Rosemary but Rose & Ruby could be quite cute as sisters

How about Ruby Angeline Cate & Rose Jamesina Elinor?

I love Rose. I think it's simple, yet classic and beautiful. You can't really go wrong wwith Rose (: It ages well too, imo.

I also like Ruby. A lot, actually. And as cutesy as it may seem, I think I wouldn't mind a Ruby and Rose sibset.

Rose Vivian
Rose Vanessa (a more modern combo, but I like the sound)
Rose Eleanor
Rose Cecilia
Rose Camilla
Rose Charlotte
Rose Louisa
Rose Catherine
Rose Eloise

Rose? I like that name.

And it is not completely out of the question to have sisters named Ruby and Rose, even though I don't like Ruby that much.
