I like-Meraud -One site I went to said it was meh row, but I'm not sure how credible it is (since they've been wrong before). On the Name Facts message board here I've seen meh-roud (like the vowel sound in round). Wish I could find out for sure!

Well, I'm not sure I like any of the names as a middle name for Rose. I absolutely adore Rose as a first name, but it's so hard to pair with a middle name. I think that's part of the reason it's overused as a middle name and not a first name, because it goes with almost anything as a middle name.Rose Mairead is one that you don't have listed that I think would be nice. I guess if I had to pick my favorite from your list it would probably be Rose Eseld (Rose Isolde is nice, too.).
