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

I've never heard of this name. I'm surprised so many people know one. Is it the same rosina that you all know?

Liffey, Irish name beginning with O

I used to know a Rosin, don't think it was short for Rosina though.

Still think Rosina is lovely

How lovely

My granmother was Rosina - but everyone called her Queenie, I think both are old fashioned but pretty names.

Gunnerbean is convinced I am from gipsy stock

My cm was called Rosina, she was fab. It's a lovely name.

ah yes, of course! Well, well, I know one word of Hebrew now. Best to start with the basics. How are you? Foreskin!

OK. Who wants this for their next screen name? Form an orderly queue.

Sounds like raisin in German (Rosine)

Thank you for all your thoughts! It's terrific there's some actual Rosinas out there - I've only heard it as the name of an opera character (Mozart, Marriage of Figaro). That made me really happy!

I will pass on comments to dh (might edit out the dried fruit connotations though... )

Or you might point out to him that as a dried fruit name, it's definitely better than prune!

I knew a Rosina at school, lovely name. My DD1 is Rosie too!
