Rosalind
Thoughts on Rosalind as a second middle name?
I was thinking: Lily Eilonwy Rosalind
Nice?
Or would Lily Eilonwy Rose be better?
Other Rose-names aren't an option as I don't like them enough. I love the combos (both!) but wondering if Rose is too boring especially with Lily even though it is not directly next to it.

I like Rosalind. It's very friendly and bubbly. The main Rosalind I've known was the biggest ditzy flake I've ever known, but she was lovely and kind and bubbly which made one forget that she was a nightmare to work with and made everyone else's jobs eight times more difficult by being unbelievably unreliable. I think I prefer Rosamund or Rosamonde precisely because it's 'uglier', clunkier, and Rosamund "Sam" has always been a GP that almost everyone I've ever mentioned it to has hated, haha.
I don't like Lily at all, I don't dislike it I just find it so... indescribably dull. So Yes, Lily Eilonwy Rose is boring. Rose as a middle name, ultra boring. I also don't like two 'straight forward' flower names together, even with another name between them. Lily Eilonwy Rosalind is better, but TBH, if it were me I'd be ditching Lily (Eilonwy Rosalind or Rosalind Eilonwy) or replacing it. Apologies if this is a name with special significance for you (as I said, it's not a -bad- name, just not interesting), it's just that Lily is ultra common here and has been for the best part of twenty, thirty years.

I dislike that both Lily and Eilonwy end in an ee sound.
ROS-uh-lind (kind of)
The cadence between Eilonwy and Rosalind feels a hair off but otherwise yes it is nice.
