What came before thatĬage has been trying to get Rita closer and closer to the Omega many, many times. It is implied that she was in a romantic relationship with Hendricks, and in any case she was scarred and traumatized by watching him die so often. Rita eventually divulges that she saw the man die some 300 times, and remembers every moment of it. Just before this scene, when he and Rita are talking, the topic of a man named "Hendricks" comes up. This is the event that causes Cage to alter his approach, as he comes to terms with the futility and emotional toll of the current approach.

Which, of course, means that her public image - Full Metal Bitch - is really just a psychological wall she built, possibly to distance herself from the adoring fans who worship her for Verdun, which she sees as a profound failure. And, since (in her mind) she'd only known him since morning, we can also gather that very few people treat her that way, and that she is actually desperate for this kind of genuine connection. When he tries to protect her any way he can - even by lying, possibly at his own expense - she feels that he has the right to know this otherwise small thing he's been trying to coax out of her.
It's there to give the viewer the exact moment when she decides that he is not just some random guy - shortly after the scene with the coffee, when Rita realizes that, to him, she is not some random girl. Her telling Cage her middle name has nothing to do with the name's innate importance. We can speculate what that reason is - I would guess that "Rose" clashes with the hardened image she likes to project - but, in the end, she does not want some random guy to know that name. The point is that, for whatever reason, Rita does not like others to know her middle name.
