Rosalie - thoughts and pronunciation?

What are your first thoughts about the name Rosalie?

And how do you pronounce it? I place equal emphasis on all syllables whereas DH often pronounces it "Rosa-Lee" which is putting me off (anything ending -Lee /-Leigh is very much not my cup of tea).

We'd probably use nicknames Rose/Rosa/Rosie, so we can get round DH's pronunciation, however if the way DH sounds it appears to be "mainstream" it'll drive me nuts and we might need to re-think...!

Sorry I don't understand how you would pronounce it?

I would read that as Rosa-lee but obviously if introduced and verbally told a different pronunciation I would use that.
