Rose, definitely. Bree sounds like Brie, a cheese.

I prefer the classic Rose to Bree...while Bree is just as good, it is commonly used as a nn for trendy (as in popular) Breanna/Brianna and it's variants. Rose, IMO, is a classic, underused name. I do think Bree & Rose would make a good twin/sib set! :)

Bree just makes me think of cheese (spelled brie, but pronounced the same) and that horrible woman on Desperate Housewives. :b Rose is gorgeous, especially used as a fn. I like Rose Elise, Rose Camille, Rose Genevieve.

I choose Rose, as I only like Brianna with Bree as a nickname. I suggest Rose Leigh, Rose Nadine, and Rose Helena.

I like Rose better. Bree sounds rather nicknamey, and a little too cute for my tastes. Plus, it reminds me of cheese. Sorry.I don't know what your naming style is, but here are some mn suggestions anyway. Most of these would work for either name.Alexandra
Elisabeth
Felicia
Isadora
Josephine
Madeline
Marie
Melinda
Olivia
Sophia
SusannahNot many middle names seem to flow with Bree or Rose, unfortunately. I think longer names sound best.

Bree is more of a nn, to me. It's not substantial enough to stand on its own. Rose, OTOH, is great. It's nice to see someone consider it for a fn, instead of the overused mn spot. How about:Rose Caroline
Rose Elizabeth
Rose Olivia
Rose Alexandra
Rose Anastasia
Rose Emilia / Amelia
Rose Dominique
Rose Amelie
Rose Josephine
Rose Genevieve
Rose Isabelle
Rose Hermione
Rose Cassandra
Rose Eileen
Rose Sinead
Rose Cathleen / Catriona
Rose Fiona / Finola

RoseI think Rose is a beautiful name, while Bree sounds like a nn.I think a longer mn flows best with a short fn. Rose Elizabeth, Rose Bethany, Rose Gabrielle or Rose Melanie.

Bree is short for Breanna!Bree is a nickname for Breanna. I know because I played Captain Bree in a show. Her given name was Breanna (bree-ON-a). Anyway,
Breanna Kathleen
Breanna Renee
Breanna Jeanne
Breanna Katharine
Breanna Eileen (this was her actual given name)Rose works best as a middle name in my opinion. Breanna Rose is cute. "Dance like no one's watching."

No, it isn't . . .Bree is a place in Belgium and a surname, so it has every right to be considered a whole and individual name. If it is used as a nickname for Briana or Bridget that's a different thing.
