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!

I have a Sadhbh- MIL suggested using the pet form Saidhbhín as a NN but it never caught on.

Could work if you like the -ín sound.

Fionnuala, or Finola (Anglicisation but nice imo)
Nora
Ailbhe
Eithne (if pronounced Enyeh)
