How do you pronounce this name?

I like it pronounced Rose-a-lin...

What do you think of it?

I'd say Ros-a-leen

I have a Rosalie in my class. It's a beautiful name for a very sweet little girl. I hadn't heard of the name before but I do prefer it to Rosaline.

The Shakespearean way, obviously.

"The last is true; the sweeter rest was mine."
"God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline?"

I've only heard it pronounced as Roz-a-line, I have a similar name and people get confused sometimes.

This, like in Romeo & Juliet. I think for your pronunciation you want Roselyn

obladeeobladah · 30/07/2023 22:36

You won't be able to stop people calling her Rosie and then you're back at Rosie Lee.

I'd assume Rose-a-leen.

Like Dark Rosaleen.

AuntieJune · 30/07/2023 22:34

Rosaline I'd pronounce roz-a-leen

Rosalin would be a better spelling for your pronunciation.

Rosalie is another variant
