[Opinions] Rose
Replies
I love Rose! I don't think it's at all boring. I do love a lot of longer Rose/Rosa- names as well, but Rose is my favorite.
My top two combos with it are Rose Mathilde (French pronunciation on the middle name) and Rose Eleonora.
Rose Winifred is a longtime favorite as well. :)

I know, right? I seem to get past its popularity and focus on how cute (not cutesy -- cute in a good way) the name is.
I love Rose!
I think it's a timeless classic and is very much underused these days. I don't mind long names for it, but I think it works well either way. I'm considering Rose for a daughter.

I don't find it boring. I think it's refreshing as a first name. Rosemary and Rosalie are pretty, but Rose is fine on its own.
I'm not too sure about Winifred in general, but Rose Winifred has a nice flow.

I don't think it's boring. I think it's quite sweet and refreshing as a first name. It's one of a few names that makes me think of a dark brown piano. I like those names.
Rose Winifred is very nice. My favorite combo is Rose Mairead. This is a Rose combos list I came up with once:
Rose Bethan
Rose Bianca
Rose Clémence
Rose Emmeline
Rose Harriet
Rose Keturah
Rose Mairéad
Rose Marguerite
Rose Maureen
Rose Mefin
Rose Olivette
Rose Shoshannah
Rose Virginia
Rose Winifred - oh look, we thought alike!

I never liked Rose for whatever reason, yet I love Rosa, Roza, Rosalia, Rosalie, and Rozalija. I wish I had a good reason for disliking Rose, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.
I think Rose is really cute. I'd use it.
Rose Sophia, Rose Samantha, Rose Caroline, Rose Victoria, Rose Lauren, Rose Michelle, Rose Hannah.

I love Rose. obvi. I love almost all the long versions too, Rosemary, Rosalie, Rosalind, Rosamund, Rosa. But none of those are just Rose.
I'm SUPER picky about combos. Rose Winifred is nice but always these combos seem backwarrds to me, something about how Rose looks just feels uncomfortable when it's not after a name, how much nicer is Winifred Rose, you know? I think for this reason I like to put unreasonable things in the MN so I'm not tempted to turn it around and prefer it.
Rose Resplendence is my fave combo I believe. Argh it doesn't feel comfortable still, let's see.
Rose Barbara?
Rose Amy?
Rose Alfreda?
Rose Clytemnestra?
Rose, what. I don't know. Rose Riddle. Rose Propose. Rose Knows. Rose Delightful. Rosered. Rosegarden. Rose Promise. Rose Pleasant. Rose Levity. Rose Mindfulness. Rose Concertina. Rose Firebird. Rose Firefly. Rose Lourdes. Rose Jennifer. Rose What-I'm-Telling-You-Is. Rose Tothechallenge. lol
okay this is silly
Rose Edelweiss, that is not such a good idea really
Rose Fairy-Tale Pictures
Rose Without Words
Rose Microcosm
Rose Wilhelmina
Rose Cosima
yeeeah I dunno, even completely disregarding the rules of sense and structure doesn't please me aesthetically half the time.

Yes, I know just what you mean about wanting to switch things around, and putting things you wouldn't want to see in front in the middle. I agree that, all things being equal, Winifred is more interesting than Rose.
Rose Jennifer is so nice!
My switcheroo Rose combos might look something like:
Rose Angelica
Rose Constance
Rose Liselotte
Rose Christina
Rose Valentine
Rose Dulcie
Rose Eleanora
Rose Norah
Rose Eugenie
Rose Gaia
Rose Lavinia
Rose Maribel
Rose Ouida
Rose Roxanne
Rose Estelle
Rose Virginia
Those are all names I like ok but I'm like "meh" when I try to put them out front.

No, it's not boring. I wouldn't use it for my own child, but I have grown to like it.
yes it does. like victorian lace!
love love love ♥
My main issue with it is that my other great girls name love happens to be Ruby and I can't bring myself to put them together even in hypothetical sibsets. Some days it comes close to usurping Ruby's place but its not quite there yet. Its probably my second favourite name at the moment though.
I don't find it boring at all- its one of those names where its simplicity makes it beautiful IMO. I put it in the same category as Mae or Alice. I prefer Rose to the longer Rose- names although I do like quite a lot of them, especially Rosalie, Rosamond and Rosemary.
Rose Winifred is darling.
My favourite Rose combos are:
Rose Amelie Mireille
Rose Lucinda Maeve
Rose Brigitte
Rose Eleanor
Rose Jamesina
Rose Amedea Leonie
