I think it's beautiful but husband says no. Just wondering what other people think of it!

In theory, I like it, but it reminds me of a book I read when I was young called 'Rosina Copper', about a horse. But that's just me, I'm sure.

Well, my name is "Golden Princess" in Irish.
Shame it means "foreskin" in Hebrew, so not popular with people from Israel!

Lovely.

indeed Bloss...I am german and it does sound much like Rosine , i.e, raisin...which is probably why I don't like it...

I like it but probably because my friend of this name is a lovely person

Is it Italian?

I like Roisin. Quite like Rosalind although I'd never use it. I like Rosabel, if that's a name?!

Rosina sounds strange. Sorry to the poster who's grandma was called rosina.

Raisin is Rozijn in Dutch. I see a theme there bloss...

NorktasticNinja · 28/02/2009 18:32

Beautiful, is there no way you can persuade him? DP vetoed all the rose names here too...

How about Rosalie, Rosalind, Rosalyn/Rosalin, Rosamund or Rosa.

don't like it, sorry...

I like Rosetta/Rosette/Rose/Rosie better, I think. Rosina is ok, though.

Very lovely.

That was my gran's name. Everyone called her Rosie though.
