Middle names for rose

Elyn is a feminine name with Welsh and English influences, often considered a variant spelling of Ellen or Elin. These names ultimately derive from Helen, meaning 'bright, shining light' or 'torch' in Greek mythology. The distinctive spelling gives this classic name a contemporary feel while preserving its traditional roots. Elyn has a delicate, flowing quality with just two syllables that make it both simple and elegant. While not among the most common names, it has periodically appeared in usage throughout English-speaking countries, offering a slightly unconventional alternative to more familiar forms. Its brevity and melodic sound make it both distinctive and accessible.

Louisa, a quaint but strongvintage name, is an example of the idea that these days, old-style girls’ names are more fashionable when they end with an a rather than with an e, as in Julie/Julia, Diane/Diana. So for the next generation, Louisa may rise again, especially with the growing popularity of other Lou/Lu-starting names, like Lucy and Luna. Louisa reentered the US Top 1000 in 2014 after a 45 year absence.

Louise has for several decades now been seen as competent, studious, and efficient—desirable if not dramatic qualities. But now along with a raft of other L names, as well as cousin Eloise, Louise is up for reappreciation—sleek and chic, stylish in Paris, and starting to become so in the US as well. Louisa is perhaps more in tune with the times, but Louise has more edge. Louise has been on the rise lately, and reentered the US Top 1000 for the first time in a quarter century in 2016.
