I hate it - my least favourite Irish girls name. Always reminds me of a horrible old woman that my mum used to work with (I'm Irish).

What Irish names do you like

I love it. Majority of dialects in Ireland pronounce it Roe-sheen but Ulster Irish pronounces it Rosh-een. Which way are you thinking?

Roe-sheen

Beautiful, an alternative would be Róise. Pronounced Rowsha. (Although some say it like Roisha) Either way I adore it
