Did Rose have a middle name?

I was debating this with myself the other day. Anybody know? :unsure:

No; she didn't. Poor thing...she was like me. No middle name, and all my classmates had one...

My mother-in-law doesn't have one either.

Ok, thanks! I was just thinking: Charles Phillip, Caroline Lake (?), Mary Amelia, Laura Elizabeth, Caroline Celestia, Charles Frederick, Grace Pearl, Almanzo James...you'd think they'd give her one! But just Rose is a great name!

I wondered about this myself as she is always referred to as Rose Wilder Lane when her full name is mentioned... no other name.. Strange Laura and Almanzo didn´t give her one

Yeah I am surprised.

Now that I think about it I am to! Didn't Almanzo call her his Prairie Rose or something? Well at least she had a name unlike her baby brother.

Yeah, he did.I'll have to look in that book I have!

Really,he did? I´ve never noticed that! maybe it got lost in the translation... Where did you read that?

In the Rose Years he Call her that I read that too and on the Movies He Call her Rosie Posie

In the movies Almanzo called her "Rosie Posie", but I don't know if he even called her "Prairie Rose". I think not. Laura wrote something about she christened her daughter that way for a "Rose in December" is so rare or something over the lines of it...

I think that Rose choose to go along with the "Rose Wilder Lane" thing, for plainly "Rose" should be too short for a name...Just think: "Rose Wilder"...Too short for a writer.

Vanesa.

Yeah, It would be to short. Come to think of it, most authors have LONG names! Wonder why that is?

I love the nickname Prairie Rose... so cute. They should have used that on the show too... Rosie Posie sounds like you´re bullying someone

Yes, indeed. And Almanzo sees to be bullying his daughter when he uses the "Rosie-Posie" thing! Well...at least it sounds that way to me! :Hahaha:

Vanesa.

I think it's Kind of like Half Pint and Flutter Bucket

Flutterbudget. Silly Jacob!

oh sorry

It's ok, lol.

The "Flutterbudget" think is also in the books, as well as the "Half Pint" thing...Poor Laura! Her own father was always saying she was short...LOL. But she seemed to like the nickname. :haha:

Vanesa.

Everyone in my family and everyone I know has a middle name.

Not me...
