Re: This, That, or the Other
Rose Eleanor Mary, no hyphens - it's a really nice combo. Rose-Eleanor as a double name is never gonna work; Elsa-Rose could but it's not my style at all."Evil is human, it always has been." - Edward Buchan, Whitechapel

What makes you say Rose-Eleanor wouldn't work?
Not trying to pick bones, just curious. :)

It's just a mouthful, IMO, and she'd inevitably be called just Rose.

Well, I used to work with a Carl-Magnus and I never called him anything but Carl-Magnus. I know he sometimes introduced himself as just Magnus but that wasn't his name and it really wasn't that hard to say Carl-Magnus. I think Rose-Eleanor could work. I wouldn't have any problems with it. But I guess it differs from person to person. Some people think anything longer than two syllables needs to be shortened.

Hmm, I suppose. But all double first names are really unless they end in Anne or May.
I was toying with the idea of nicknaming her Rose-Ellie but I'm not sure about the flow.
