Really liking the name Rosaline and all it’s possibke pronunciations (with the nn Rosie) but am unsure on which pronunciation is the most widely accepted in the UK

Rose-uh-leen

Beautiful whatever way it’s pronounced! I’d never heard it before but it’s gorgeous

To rhyme with Caroline. But I far prefer Rosalind.

'Rowsaleen ' Really 🙄!

If you're aiming for roz-a-lin, then the spelling would be Rosalyn

AmIThough · 13/09/2019 07:52

Roz-a-lin

BertrandRussell · 13/09/2019 07:51

Go for Rosalind. Much more interesting character (actually talks!) and no question about pronounciation.

I'm with the Roz-a-leen pronouncers. Hadn't thought of the Roz-a-line option.

It's a beautiful name either way.
