Roseanne or Róisín

[gjriiejeje]

Whats your opinions or rating? Not too fussed on the association to Roseanne Barr, she’s not known well where we are. Róisín is pronounced row-sheen where we are in Ireland.

Or Roslyn?

I like both! I prefer Roseanna with an E.
Curveball: Rozenn?

Definitely Róisín

Roisin, definitely! I have always loved this name but I'm not Irish and we have no Irish connections do I don't think we could make it work

Rosanne, Rosanna or Roxana

I really like Róisín, so I would choose it.

Roseanne seems rather mid-century to me - Rosanna is nicer. I'm from Northern Ireland and while I've definitely heard of Roseanne Barr, I doubt kids will be aware of her.

I really don't think anyone, anywhere would refer to Róisín as raisin.

Roisin or prefer Rosanna to Roseanne

Rosa is also lovely

Roisin is such a beautiful name. Sorry, can't type the accents on the letters.

Roseanne is pretty (Ms Barr aside) but like pps say, maybe a little dated. Rosanna is a nicer variant, but I still prefer Roisin overall.

Roisin or another one is Róise which I love too.

Róise is row sha btw.

Róisín

Roisin is beautiful.

Rosanna is prettier and more classic than Roseanne for me, which sounds a bit flat and dated (like Joanne).

I love Rose- names with Rosemary being my favourite.

I slightly prefer Roseanne over Róisín but only because of the shortenings.

Both are lovely, as is Rosanna.

If Roseanne isn’t well liked, what about Rose? That is the main nn we like. With Róisín it doesn’t seem like a natural nn.

I love Rose and think it's underused as a first name. Lots of middle name use but I don't come across many with it as a first name!

Rose with middle name Ann (or Anne) is miles better than Roseanne. Roísín is a pretty name.

I know a Róisín (England not Ireland) - beautiful name. Roseanne did immediately make me think of Roseanne Barr. Rose is nice but maybe a bit well used?

Róisín is beautiful.

I don't see why you can't use Rose as short for Roisin.

Many names have diminutives with different sounds, eg Kate for Katherine, Maggie for Margaret, Harry for Henry. The initial vowel sound is different from the name it derives from. Then you have Bill for William, Peggy for Margaret, Bella for Isabella and others where the short name doesn't even start with the same letter!

Rose for Roisin is fine honestly! And very nice too.

I think Rose is a very natural nn for Róisín, as it means wee rose.

I know a Róisín who goes by Rosie.

Róisín is a lovely name. Roseanne feels to me of the same generation as Sharon/Tracey/Linda - a bit too dated and not ready for a comeback.

Roisin

I’m glad people think Rose is an okay nn for Róisín - it was one of my biggest worries as I do like Rose as an nn.
