Róisín

Family are Irish, but mother born in London.

It's a beautiful name.

There was a little girl in my DS called Roisin, I liked, but I agree with PP, a lot of people don’t know how to say it.

Lovely name. Well done on spelling it correctly with the fadas. Really important.

I’m not a fan - it reminds me of dreary Maureen / Noleen 1950s type names

Rosanna is nice.

It's nothing like Noleen (?)! So you're saying names that end in an een/ine sound can never be used again basically?

Roisin is lovely and unusual in the UK, probably not unusual in Ireland.

I knew a sibset of Roisin and Clodagh growing up :) It's a good combo.

@bidenfor I'm English and can pronounce most Irish names but then I am also Liverpudlian and we get tons of Irish names there so that may skew things I suppose :)

It has the same end sound.

I’m not saying anything other than it makes me think of dreary names popular in the 50s.

The OP is asking people what they think. OK?

I don't love it, but there are worse names and Róisín Murphy is pretty cool.

I prefer Róise though, feels fresher and cooler than Róisín.

I think it's a lovely looking name, but you will need to tell people how to pronounce it. I think most English people can pronounce a couple of Irish names, but not then all... and I'd had to ask about that one.

Absolutely love it, my friend has a daughter named this.
I have a Niamh.
Neither of us are Irish.
