Well...it's my online name, so clearly I have some affinity for it, but I don't know that I'd give it to a child as a FN. It looks better than it sounds. In my case, I chose it more than a decade ago when first using the internet at home- my parents insisted on an alias- and I chose it because my twelve-year-old self enjoyed the very tenuous connection to my real name. It's kind of become part of who I am, but today I wouldn't use it as a FN, but might as a self-honouring middle :P

It's quite different from Rose, but they do work as siblings. They're slightly more subtle than Belle and Joy in meaning, but more showy as names.
