Rosaline (pronunciation)

[peaceofmind1]

How do you pronounce this name?

I like it pronounced Rose-a-lin...

What do you think of it?

Roz-a-Lynn

Not really my cup of tea.

This

Rosaline I'd pronounce roz-a-leen

Rosalin would be a better spelling for your pronunciation.

Rosalie is another variant

I'd assume Rose-a-leen.

Like Dark Rosaleen.

Roz a line

You won't be able to stop people calling her Rosie and then you're back at Rosie Lee.

This, like in Romeo & Juliet. I think for your pronunciation you want Roselyn

Pronounced as in Shakespeare

Roz a line

Rosa-leen

I've only heard it pronounced as Roz-a-line, I have a similar name and people get confused sometimes.

The Shakespearean way, obviously.

"The last is true; the sweeter rest was mine."
"God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline?"

I have a Rosalie in my class. It's a beautiful name for a very sweet little girl. I hadn't heard of the name before but I do prefer it to Rosaline.

I'd say Ros-a-leen

Roz - a - line

Roz-a-leen

Rose a leen. Don't like it.

Roz a line. As in the unseen character in Romeo and Juliet.

Rosalin. Like Rosalind without the d. Put a 'd' on the end. Just go for Rosalind maybe and there'll be more concensus in everyday life about how to pronounce it.

Or is that boring?

I´d pronounce it Roz-a-leen.

When people look up the meaning of Rosalind, they do not like it. Something to do with horses, it is a germanic name. They prefer to think it comes from rosa linda (pretty rose in Spanish), it doesn´t...

Sorry, that was quoting @porridgeisbae

Roz-a-lyne or Roz-a-lean

Like Rosalind (Roz-a-lind, which yes, has it's oldest roots in "Hros", horse)

And like Rosalie (Roz-a-lee).

Traditionally it's always been "Roz-a-" when there's been another syllable (also eg Roz-a-mund, Roz-a-belle)

Only "Rose-a" when it stops there as Rosa.

But some people use non-traditional versions, so if in doubt,, ask.

@Katiesaidthat It's one of those which etymologically has two meanings, or two combined.

My instinct is roz-uh-lin

The ones I know are Roz-a-lin. Usually nicknamed Roz. I could see it ending in leen or line but to me it always starts with Roz not rose
