If I like Roisin..

[ineedagirlsname]

Baby due next week.. we know it's a girl.. we really like Roisin.. pronounced RO- SHEEN ( it's an Irish name).
Any ideas for something similar?
Another family member has a DD with the same name and although we don't cross paths very often, I'm still a little loathe to use it as it feels like it's been 'taken' already by them..
Thanks!

Aisling?

Niamh, Siobhan, Aiofe?

Roshan (m) / Roshani / Roshany (f) are the indian names that are similar.

Saoirse, Aoife, Ciara, Sorcha, Orla?

Rosaleen (Anglicised version I think). Rose, Rosa any Rose- name. Another lovely Irish name with the 'sh' sound is Saoirse.

Roisin and Saoirse are gorgeous names I could never use myself because of having no Irish connections.
BTW if the other little Roisin is say a cousin's child and you won't see them often, I don't think it matters?

Roise
Sorcha
Ailis
Blathnaid

Well that was helpful joystir.

joystir

Do you mean because it's an Irish name, that is the only association you can think of?

What about Roisin Murphy?

Erin

Rosalie
Niamh
Saoirse
Rachel
Caoimh
Ailis

Roisin (is a lovely name) but is spelt with a fada on the o and the last i - see attached link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B3is%C3%ADn

Maeve
Rosalyn
Eabha (Ava)

Roisin sounds like a name from some dreadful Catholic drama about abuse

I've asked MNHQ to remove my comment as it was uncalled for. Sorry.

Roisin is actually Roseanne.

Roisin is actually Rosaleen or Rosie not Roseanne

The 'ín' means little as in little Rose so it's closer to Rosie than Roseanne.

Ceoilin, pronounced Keoleen. Means a little music!

@joystir59 I think it’s admirable you owned up to that mistake

Op I had no idea it was pronounced like that - will it bother you when ignorant people (like me) get it wrong? I don’t think you should avoid using the name - ask them how they’d feel about it they’d probably be flattered

Yes, joystir, good for you for admitting the comment was a bit off colour

There’s Róise as well- it means Rose.
