The two names I've been liking a lot lately are Briar Rose and Primrose. I think that they are both gorgeous, but I'm feeling a little unsure. What do you think?

Primrose - Sorry this is kind of harsh but EW EW EW EW EW EW. I absolutely hate it! It's like priscilla to me; too proper and old fashioned. I just absolutely deteste it, and I pity any child named Primrose.
What about:

Other than that, I guess there's a reason I've been trying to find a middle to go with just Rose. I'm really note a huge fan of any of those other variants.
I don't know exactly how I'd use Briar Rose. I like it as a full name--and I would probably call her Rose more often than Briar, but I wouldn't want to stick a middle name with it either.
As for Primrose, I love it for all the reasons you hate it. I love old fashioned, proper names. I really like the feel they have. I don't like Pricilla--sounds too much like Prissy which is too cutsie and stuffy girl for me, but Primrose is different. Even though its an embelished version of Rose, it has a simple, yet elegant feel to it. And that's what I like in a girls name--names that are girly and elegant without going over the top. (For example, I can't stand names like Annabelle or Ariella, but I love names like Anna, Ella/Elle, and Ara)
Primrose just has a really neat feel to me, and since you can get the nickname Rose from it, I don't consider it to be too "out there"

I like Briar Rose too but I would worry that it would be shortened to Briar more often than Rose. I guess if you always called her Rose than other people would be too.
Some suggestions!
Primrose Amelia (this is my name)
Primrose Siobhan
Primrose Kate
Primrose Catherine
Primrose Joanna
Primrose Elizabeth
Just my opinion!

I find Primrose to be one of those names that puts a label on whoever's name it is. I have a friend named Patience Danielle, and she is exactly the opposite of patience. She has none. We call her Dani
I also think that Primrose is girly, but I would call it elegant. It seem like a name that is an attempt to be 'Cute'.
Just my opinion.

I love your name! And I'm also loving Primrose Kate. I think that's going on my ever growing favorites list
I also love Siobhan...I'm just trying to decide if I like it with Primrose or not.

I don't use my real name online because its quite unique, and I'm not comforable sharing it with people I don't really know. It's close to Keira, but not....my mom made it upWhat is your real name?

Haha, yeah. I've always loved the name Rose, and when I started joining websites in middle school, my mom was more comfortable with it if I chose a fake name to use instead of my own...and it was easy to pick what I would name myself if I got the choice Now I've just sort of gotten used to being Rose online. It'd be weird to have people--especially on BNG--call me by my real name even if I decided to share itOh, That's cool. At least you have a name you love as much as Rose to use online!

Some slightly random comments:
Another friend of mine is Arileigha; she's on a rpg site with me and she goes by Ariana. Her mom made up the name; Aria + Leigha.
Rose was my grandma's maiden name
Until I was fourteen, I went by Kiara online; I was obsessed with the lion king forever.

I went by Belle online until last year when Twilight became so popular. I'm still obsessed with Beauty and the Beast!
