I think it's beautiful but husband says no. Just wondering what other people think of it!

That was my gran's name. Everyone called her Rosie though.

Very lovely.

ScummyMummy · 28/02/2009 18:29

I like Rosetta/Rosette/Rose/Rosie better, I think. Rosina is ok, though.

FairLadyRantALot · 28/02/2009 18:30

don't like it, sorry...

Beautiful, is there no way you can persuade him? DP vetoed all the rose names here too...

How about Rosalie, Rosalind, Rosalyn/Rosalin, Rosamund or Rosa.

NorktasticNinja · 28/02/2009 18:33

Raisin is Rozijn in Dutch. I see a theme there bloss...

Is it Italian?

I like Roisin. Quite like Rosalind although I'd never use it. I like Rosabel, if that's a name?!

Rosina sounds strange. Sorry to the poster who's grandma was called rosina.

I like it but probably because my friend of this name is a lovely person

indeed Bloss...I am german and it does sound much like Rosine , i.e, raisin...which is probably why I don't like it...

EyeballsintheSky · 28/02/2009 20:18

Lovely.

chipmonkey · 28/02/2009 20:19

Well, my name is "Golden Princess" in Irish.
Shame it means "foreskin" in Hebrew, so not popular with people from Israel!

In theory, I like it, but it reminds me of a book I read when I was young called 'Rosina Copper', about a horse. But that's just me, I'm sure.

LyraSilvertongue · 28/02/2009 20:34

What about Rosa or Rosita?

frazzledoldbag · 28/02/2009 20:35

I prefer Rose or Rosie TBH.
Would be worried about it being shortened to Zena?

MrsMattie · 01/03/2009 08:34

sounds made up

Rose, Rose, Roseanna, Rosalie or the lovely Irish Roisin all much better

piscesmoon · 01/03/2009 08:48

I agree with MrsMattie. I like Rosamund or Rosalind.

bytheLiffey · 01/03/2009 13:27

oh that's funny chip, did somebody from Israel feel the need to tell you this? How did you find out?!

chipmonkey · 01/03/2009 14:18

I first found out on Mumsnet ( where else?) I think it was CountessDracula who informed ne? But then i was tol the same thing by an Israeli patient.

bytheLiffey · 01/03/2009 14:49

What is the name!? Give me a clue if you don't want to say. Is it a name I'd know, I've run through all the usual suspects in my head and I can't think of a name that means golden princess!

My friend's daughter is called Rosina - named after an older family member IIRC. Pretty name and lovely girl!

Gunnerbean · 01/03/2009 15:42

Reminds me of a gypsy's name.
