Roisin, Rosie or Rosa

[hieasterbunny]

Hi
Im due a girl in a month and favourite name is Rosie.
However I think it could be a bit twee/princessy for a grown woman, so thinking of either Rosa or Roisin as full name.

I don't love Rosa or Roisin though.

Also would people struggle with pronunciation of Roisin? It is pronounced (Ro-sheen), but would people read it as Roy-sin in England?!
My partner is Irish so I know there's supposed to be a fada on it, but don't know how to add on phone! My son already has a straightforward Irish name, so it would fit fine.
What do you think? Just go with Rosie?!

I really like Rosalind.
Then there's Rose, Rosaline, Rosemary, Rosemarie... Lots of options

I like Rosamund on that theme...

But I also love Roisin. I'm a Londoner with no Irish connections, but I know a few and would have no problems pronouncing it.

I think they are all lovely. How do they go with the surname?

I like Rose 🌹

I’m probably not much help as I love all variations of this name, probably as my lovely granny was a Rose. Maybe Roisin though if your son has an Irish name? Good luck choosing you can’t go wrong.

I prefer Rosalie, but from your list I’d go with Roisin since your ds has an Irish name.

Rose is lovely. With Rosie as an occasional nickname. Rosie is very feminine but I wouldn't call it princessy. It's a classic.

I love Rosanna! In fact, it would be in the running if we ever had another girl, (which we almost certainly won't).

I also like Rosalie, but think it's a pain when telling people your name. I did a baby class with ds and there was a baby Rosalie. Every time her mum said "this is Rosalie", people would hear something else (Rosie, Rosemary). Put me off the idea of ever using it, although it's lovely.

The nice thing about Rosanna is, you can call her Rosie, but if she likes, when she is older, she also has the choice of Rosanna, Rose, Rosa, Rosie, Anna, Annie.

I like all the Rosie options - Rose, Rosaline, Rosalyn/Rosilyn too. Rosa is quite popular atm.

What about Rose?

Rosina is another option.

I love Roisin. It suits your family and is easy enough for people to pronounce. It’s one of my favourite names 🌹

Love Rosa. Beautifully name

Love Rosa. Classy, strong and international.

Call her Rosie.

They're all nice but if you choose Roisin, she'll spend her life telling people how to spell it - even in Ireland!

Róisín is well known in Ireland.

It might be nice to continue with the Irish theme.
I like all forms of Rose.

Rose is lovely

Or how about Rosabel

Rosie

Róisín is lovely.

Róisín - will have spelling issues and will be mispronounced - I think it is Roe-sheen not Rosh-EEN

If you love Rosie, call her Rosie. I know adult Rosies and have never thought the name twee/princessy, it's a lovely name.

OP didn't type Rosh-een though.

Personally I'd go with the Irish name but Rosalie or Rosanna are nice too. Or Rose, seems underused as a first name. Rosie is a nice nickname (bit twee for my tastes though) but may as well give her the option of another name too.
