Yep. My sister Pam had at one point decided, way back around 1990, to give a daughter the middle name Rose. By the time she had her first daughter, in 1994, Rose had already become cliched as a middle name, so much so that she had abandoned the idea. She now has four daughters and not one has the middle name Rose.

Poor Pam also had to abandon Emily as a first name. She did so after going to the grocery store and hearing three different mothers call their little girls Emily.

If one must go with Rose as a middle name, Annabelle Rose sounds better than Annabella Rose.
