[Opinions] Catherine!
Right now I am just loving the simplicity and sophistication of this name. What are some nice middle names that would go well with it? Recently, I heard the combo Catherine Rose and fell in love. However, I don't think I would ever use it. What are some other names that have the same "feel" as Rose. If I were to use a family name, I would be left with:
Catherine Margaret
Catherine Helen
Catherine Joan
Catherine Marie
Catherine Sylvia / Silvia
Catherine Joy
WDYT?
Catherine Margaret
Catherine Helen
Catherine Joan
Catherine Marie
Catherine Sylvia / Silvia
Catherine Joy
WDYT?

I like Catherine very much. It's right along the lines of a lot of my favorites. Catherine Rose is a common pairing but is still, I think, quite pretty. Of your combos I like it very much with Margaret and Joan. I'm not big on Helen though I do like Helena and think they'd go very well together. Same with Maria over Marie. I also like:
Catherine Elaine
Catherine Patrice
Catherine Greer
Catherine Antonia
Catherine Lydia
Catherine Rosa (obviously close to your combo but Rosa is a bit less expected than Rose)
Catherine Arden
Catherine Leona / Leonie
Catherine Abra
Catherine Dinah
Catherine Miren
Catherine Jane (my cousin's name, actually)
Catherine Iona
Catherine Elaine
Catherine Patrice
Catherine Greer
Catherine Antonia
Catherine Lydia
Catherine Rosa (obviously close to your combo but Rosa is a bit less expected than Rose)
Catherine Arden
Catherine Leona / Leonie
Catherine Abra
Catherine Dinah
Catherine Miren
Catherine Jane (my cousin's name, actually)
Catherine Iona
Catherine Rose sounds nice, but it's on the plain side. I prefer Catherine Joy and Catherine Sylvia.

Catherine Rose is pretty, but there is the old filler MN issue.
I love Catherine, but I had to remove it from my favorites list because I really, really dislike the popularity of Cate / Kate, and I would worry about people automatically shortening it. (This ruined Philip for me, too.)
Of yours, I like Catherine Helen because I love Helen to no end, and Catherine Silvia is lovely, too.
Stella Catherine / Catherine Stella (Stella Catherine used to be one of my top five. . . it may be having a revival soon.) :)
Catherine Beatrice
Catherine Helena (He-LAY-na)
Catherine Louise
Catherine Clare
Catherine Viola / Violet
Catherine Lily
Catherine Mae
Catherine Iris
Catherine Elise
Catherine Lois
Catherine Jane
Any you like?

Just a note: My name is Catherine, and I've probably only been called Cate/ Kate like 2-3 times my entire life. So it's definitely possible. I kind of agree about Philip, though. I love that name, but I dislike Phil, but unfortunately I have never met a Philip that was not called Phil for short.
