Honor is not a real name. It is something you get.

Yes, it is. It's a virtue name which used to be much more popular- think Verity, Felicity, Faith, Prudence etc.

Just Bea? Not Beatrice or Beatrix? How strange. Rose and Devon ( sounds more like a boy name, poor Devon)

Opal? Yikes

I haven't read through the whole thread but I am suggesting Honor as an addition to the list. It's a strong name, not over-used.

“Glo” is a hard no.

I’m a 1970s Laura, and I love my name. Strong, feminine, easy to pronounce.

Gloria is beautiful, too. I do like June, but yes, people will ask whether she’s born in June. I wouldn’t that dissuade you from using it, since it meets all your other criteria and also would make a good sister for Rose.

np I like Laura! Gloria is better than Hazel but, not my favorite.

What about Jane instead of June?

I like Ruth and Ruby as names but not w a sister Rose. I don’t like the alliterative sibling names.

I like June but do think she’ll constantly be asked if she was born in June which may or may not matter to her but to me seems pretty annoying to go thru life w constantly being asked about your name.

I like Holly a lot. I also like Greta. I love the idea of using your grandmas name but don’t really like the name Gloria that much so I’d use it as a middle instead of a first.

Other names that come to mind:
Marie
Sarah
Thea
Camille
Laura

I like Grace from your list.

Also:

Bea
Devon
Daria
Ivy
Julia
Opal
Tess
Tara
Violet

I was going to say Lois.

Gloria reminds me of Gloria Steinem so I like it.

Georgia

Emily and Alice have been the best suggestions.

Yes, it will be. I have a friend named April, and she is always asked if she was born in April.

I love the name June but not with Rose.
