t's suggestive, initially. Fitting, at best. There were many opinions on the matter, from too many people that she really didn't care about.
What's in a name?
Everything is in a name.
Names are just titles.
So she'll wear hers with pride.
"A rose by any other name," she learned to recite when she was quite young, if I do say myself, "would smell just as sweet."
It was fitting, yes.
And RoseWeasley, daughter of War Hero RonWeasleyand Minister of Magic Hermione Granger, would be the exact same lady even if she was named after any other thing. Another Shakespeare play, perhaps.
She would be the exact same lady because growing up in a family as big as hers, she couldn't strive to be much of anything else, now could she? She was only one more in a place where everyone had their defined roles.
They had the jesters, the artistic, the headstrong, the cute, the sporty.
She couldn't be anything else, so she became everything they needed.
Her mother needed the perfect disciplined child? Her dad needed the understanding daughter?
She would be it. For everyone.
The perfect little daughter, the lovely grandchild, the loyal friend.
Name it, she was.
RoseWeasleywas everything people wanted her to be. You take that out and what's made from her?
She lived her life for the approval of other people. You take that all and you are left with nothing.
She was nothing then.
And it was fitting, yes. After all, she was named after a tragedy, and a good one at that.
