Rosamund Alyssum?
Since Rosamund stems from "Rose," I figured it could be fitting to use another flower name. But is it just gauty??
Update:This is where I got the name. I've loved it for years.

Update 3:Jenno, the name has meaning to me (see the link). Also, my name is Sarah; Isobel is just a SN.
Update 5:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200809...
Update 7:Jo, I'm not expecting yet, so I'll have plenty of time to decide. I think that's a real good idea though - to have some open options that are decided after the birth.
I'm definitely thinking a shorter middle name would work too...

Rosamund is lovely, but that middle name...sorry, it does sound gauty. What about Rosamund Alisa (pronounced ah-LEE-sah)? Or if you're into flower names:
Rosamund Anthea
Rosamund Azalea
Rosamund Briar
Rosamund Bryony
Rosamund Calanthe
Rosamund Erica ("erica" is the Latin word for heather)
Rosamund Ione
Rosamund Linnea
Rosamund Violet
Hope I helped!
EDIT: Glad you liked them! Here are some other, less flowery ideas for middle names:
Rosamund Adela
Rosamund Ailis (pronounced ay-LEESH)
Rosamund Anastasia
Rosamund Ariadne
Rosamund Belle
Rosamund Celeste
Rosamund Delilah
Rosamund Eleanora
Rosamund Faith
Rosamund Faye
Rosamund Hope
Rosamund Juliana
Rosamund Justine
Rosamund Louise
Rosamund Louisa
Rosamund Serenity
Rosamund Starr
Personally, I would go for a shorter middle name if I had a lengthy first name, but it's all a personal thing, so you should go with what you feel is right :).
It also depends on the surname if it fits ok. Kids are rarely known by their middle name, and most the time, no-one even knows what it is, so I think the most important part is that the first name works with the surname. I remember my brother going to school with a kid called Rett Butler, and I thought that was a bit sad (Gone with the Wind was fairly big for us in the 80s). I have heard other ones over the years, and I think that's the main thing to be careful of, or the kid will hate it and end up having it changed later anyway.
Edited to Add: With both my children, we had a handful of names picked out, but we didn't name them until we saw them. For some reason a name just ends up fitting the baby once you see them!!
Why not Rose? It is an amazing name. I can't really get my self to say the other one...nicely put its not that nice. How about using it in the future maybe for a pet?
Hey that's not nice you want your daughter to suffer with an ugly name while your name is isobel (which is amazing) tsk tsk.
I'm not wild about either name, but especially not Alyssum. It just reminds me of asylum...as in insane asylum.
Yea it just sounds weird. Its not even pretty. Not cute. Rose would be pretty but the middle name... ehhhh not really cute
Don't like either one, sorry. Name her Rose Allison or something and save her years of teasing.
Hope these names help! =)
Rosalyn Alyssa
or
Alyssa Rose
I would go with a simpler middle name, Lynn, Ann, Marie.
I don't like it.
I would use something easier like Rose.
I don't like it
