I think it's a nice idea to use and honoring name as a middle name. Either that or a variant of the name of the person you are honoring as a first name. I wouldn't use the exact same name as a first name because that might be confusing, especially if the surname is the same as well.

I received a middle name that is a variant of my mom's first name, my grandma's first name and the actual name of my great grandma. They are all variants of Elizabeth. It is just my middle name but it is nice to have something from my family and I am not very similar to my mom and other relatives so I don't think it shapes the character or anything.

Your grandma is named Rosa, right? So in your case I wouldn't use Rosa as a first name but I would use it as a middle name. Camille Rosa is so beautiful! Noemi Rosa is also cute. Serena Rosa works well too or Ginevra Rosa. Or you could use a variant as a first or middle name, for example Camille Rose, Luna Rose, Susanna Rosalie, Stella Rosemary, Cassandra Rosalind or Rosalia Noemi, Rosabel Serena etc etc Rosa is a nice name, there are many options!

I think the most important thing is that the person was nice and good overall and that you loved her/him. Everyone has flaws and problems. As long as the person is good overall and you can tell your child why you wanted to name her after that person everything is fine :)
