Baby due next week.. we know it's a girl.. we really like Roisin.. pronounced RO- SHEEN ( it's an Irish name).
Any ideas for something similar?
Another family member has a DD with the same name and although we don't cross paths very often, I'm still a little loathe to use it as it feels like it's been 'taken' already by them..
Thanks!

Rosaleen (Anglicised version I think). Rose, Rosa any Rose- name. Another lovely Irish name with the 'sh' sound is Saoirse.

Roisin and Saoirse are gorgeous names I could never use myself because of having no Irish connections.
BTW if the other little Roisin is say a cousin's child and you won't see them often, I don't think it matters?

Saoirse, Aoife, Ciara, Sorcha, Orla?

Roshan (m) / Roshani / Roshany (f) are the indian names that are similar.
