Rose is sweet, but incredibly boring and bland. If I had to use it, I would use it as a nickname for something longer, like Rosario or Roselle.

Rose is one of my favourite names. It’s not overused in Denmark at all so it seems fresh to me, while also familiar and classic. It’s a name I’d be glad to use in real life.

Good combos:

---

Rose Marie
Rose Eleonora
Rose Desirée
Rose Eugenie
Rose Victoria
Rose Irina
Rose Lucia
Rose Bodil
Rose Birgitte

---

Penelope Rose
Wilhelmina Rose
Beatrice Rose
Titania Rose
Nora Rose
Iben Rose
Ariel Rose
Elisabeth Rose

Rose is my grandmother's name. I very much want to use it! I think more likely as a first name than a middle, because of how overdone it is in the middle name slot.

Current musings:

---

Rose Eden
Rose Eleanor
Rose Gabrielle
Rose Serena

Its such a middle name to me. Rose as a first name would be an interesting change definitely. Id use it with just about anything.
Elizabeth ( gag) Rose, Shirley Rose, Adamma Rose, Tanith Rose, Anita Rose, Tequila Rose, Janna Rose, Ellie Rose, Arin Rose, Brianna Rose, Adrianna Rose, Hallie Rose, Sade Rose, Nora Rose, Charlie Rose.

Or, Rose Beth, Rose Cheyanne, Rose Aliah, Rose Lois.

I have a somewhat complicated relationship with the name Rose. It's a family name (on both sides), so it was inevitable that Rose would become my middle name. As a little girl I found it incredibly harsh, finding friends' middle names like Lynn and Marie to be prettier; yet due to the town I grew up in having Rose as part of its name, and little rose motifs in the street signs, I enjoyed seeing references to my name - to me - everywhere. Little kids like feeling like they have an important spot in people's lives.

Rose isn't terribly unique as a middle name, but I don't think it's so ubiquitous as to be completely lackluster. I'd be more likely to use Rosalie than Rose in real life, I think, but Rose certainly isn't off limits.

I prefer Rosa, but Rose is lovely.

Rose Imelda
Rose Helena
Rose Maria
Rose Caroline
Rose Vincenza
Rose Miranda
Rose Francesca
Rose Genevieve

Philippa Rose

It's hard to use Rose as a MN without it sounding like a cliché.

I do like Rose, it’s a beautiful, timeless, classic name. It needs a longer mn, to balance out the shortness of Rose. Something like Rose Ariane, Rose Jemimah, Rose Elizabeth, Rose Annabelle, Rose Amelia, Rose Gabriella, Rose Matilda or Rose Emmeline. Combos that I love with Rose as the mn are Eden Rose, Molly Rose, Gemma Rose, Chloe Rose, Ada Rose, Phoebe Rose, Mabel Rose, Maggie Rose and Eva Rose. Eden Rose and Molly Rose would be my faves though.

I don't like Rose. It's all covered in talcum powder and chintz. I am surprised constantly by how widely adored it is. I will admit that Rosie is pretty cute, but not cute enough for me to actually use Rose.

As a first name, I guess Rose Margaret. In the middle, I guess Anna Rose.

Rose works as a nn for names like Rosemary and Rosamond, and even Rosalind. As an independent name, I find it sickly-sweet.

---

Rosamond Philippa Jane

---

Laura Gillian Rose

I like it. I'd consider using it. A powerful first name loaded with symbolism.
Rose Marina, or Rose Amy.
I guess I'd use Rose-Marine or Rose-Amy as a double middle name, if I had to put Rose in the middle. As a middle name by itself it seems like it's just decorative, like a flower worn behind the ear.

I wouldn’t use it as a middle name.
Every second girl born in the last ten years is something Rose.
I would use Rosalie. Maybe Avielle Rosalie.

---

As a first name option though, I think it’s lovely.

---

Rose Aveline
Rose Emmeline
Rose Anneliese
Rose Viviana
Rose Theodora / Dorothea
Rose Estella
Rose Elodia
Rose Genevieve
Rose Cecile
Rose Lucienne
Rose Francesca

Rose Ermengarde // Crescentia Rose

---

I do like Rose, though I prefer other Rose names (e.g. Rosamund and Rohese).

---

I'd probably opt for Rose Ermengarde. Other combos:

---

Rose Adamina
Rose Aglaia
Rose Alberte
Rose Atalanta
Rose Edmonde
Rose Edwina
Rose Elfriede
Rose Feodora
Rose Hermione
Rose Hippolyta
Rose Iphigenia
Rose Lalage
Rose Lavinia
Rose Perpetua
Rose Purnima
Rose Roberte
Rose Winifred

---

If I had to use Rose as a middle name, I'd consider Crescentia Rose.

I really love Rose. It's so timelessly elegant, and it can fit any person and any age. So many of the variants are gorgeous, too.

---

I'd definitely consider using Rose. I'd use a combo like Rose Eugenie or Rose Imogen.

---

As a middle name it's definitely a filler, so I'd want to spice it up a bit: Perdita Rose or Imelda Rose. Penelope Rose is also stunning to me, even if Penelope is a bit more common than my other ideas.

Nah, not really, though ironically I have a friend named Rose with red hair (no kidding!) I’d only use it as a middle name.

---

Aurelia Rose
Cassandra Rose
Louisa Rose
Avalon Rose
Saffron Rose
Noemi Rose

I love Rose and would absolutely consider using it as a first name. Combo would Rose Elfreda.

---

Viviana Rose has long been my favorite combo with it as a middle name, but I think Eulalie Rose (recently used it in a post here) has replaced it.

I've loved Rose since I was a little girl. My favourite combo that I always swore I'd name my daughter is Rose Elizabeth Mary, which to me is so very beautiful.

---

If I had to use it as a middle name, I'd use Mabel Rose.
