Love Rose very British a beautiful name.
Not keen on Arthur or Grace, not my cuppa tea.If I was choosing I was guessing Lydia
British & posh theme.

I think it's a nice set, honestly. I don't really love Rose, but it fits with these. I think I'd have picked something equally spare, like Anna, Jane, Helen, Clara maybe. None of these really vibes with the other two in the way Rose does except for Jane. It's funny that the queen has grandchildren named Savannah, Isla, Mia, yet Pippa Middleton chooses these ultra traditional names. I guess the royals have nothing to prove but Pippa Middleton is still trying to appear like she was never "middle class" or whatever she was according to British standards.

It's a nice set. But it does bother me a bit that Rose and Grace are word names and Arthur isn't. On their own, I think both Rose and Grace are great names but pairing them together really brings out the fact that they're both common nouns to me.

Very, very British sounding to me. All old fashioned types of names and they work well for siblings. Grace and Rose are obviously used often for girls these days, especially as mns, so it’s nice to see Rose as a fn. I do like the girls names, though not a fan of Arthur.

Arthur is interesting; the girls' names are deeply tedious.

I think Rose is fine as their sibling. Rose flows perfectly well with Grace and sounds great with Arthur. I would probably make the same decision as Philippa if I would name the 3rd child.

As the third in a sibling set it's appropriate but rather bland.I actually don't care for Rose. It was simply too ubiquitous as a bit of a placeholder middle name for me to enjoy it as an actual name anymore.

I love this set. I know it's a tad bland, but I love it.
