Re: Rose Ariadne _____
in reply to a message by whim
Okay, for flow and rhythm, I'm best liking a two-syllable second middle. I'm also best liking not repeating the "ee" sound in Ariadne. From your lovely list, that leaves...
Rose Ariadne Estelle - I love Estelle in this combo because, for me, it sounds well, feels elegant, and the "starry sky" imagery I get from its meaning just vibes well with both the feel and meaning of Ariadne
Rose Ariadne Adele - I love Adele in this combo because it lends a soft sweetness, a feel like flower petals, which plays well, for me, off of both Rose and Ariadne; also, the meaning of Adele vibes well with Ariadne's meaning
Rose Ariadne Margot - I enjoy Margot in this combo because it lends simple sophistication, it's a bit unexpected, and its long "o" sound creates a nice "auditory bookend" with the long "o" in Rose; I do think it flows slightly less well than the other two combos, but it's still quite lovely
ETA: I also love the feel and energy of Rose Ariadne Maeve, and the sound-play I get from the hard "s" of Rose to the "v" of Maeve; I just slightly prefer the flow/rhythm of your two-syllable options, given that I don't know the surname. Perhaps a one-syllable option works best, taken all together.

I have to say the imagery you get with Rose Ariadne Estelle is lovely. It has colored my own image of the name and I quite like it.
I think of Adele as quite flowery as well, not in a frilly sort of a way but in a delicate bud sort of way. I agree that it's meaning does work well with Ariadne's and my image of the name ties in with Rose.
There is something about Rose Ariadne Margot that bothers me and I can't quite put my finger on it. I think it's the G. I'm picky so who knows? I do agree that it's flow is a bit off but the long "o" in both Rose and Margot compliment each other in the combo.
Rose Ariadne Maeve is a bit different than a few of the other names because of Maeve being one syllable but it compliments the surname well, it's two syllables. I'm not too too caught up on syllable counts though.
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your response. It made me think a bit more about the actual meaning of the names. :)
