It depends, I think. 'Rosheen' is one way, but you can have the emphasis on the 'Ro' or the 'sheen'.

anteater · 13/10/2006 19:43

no no no, its Ros-In like the scape on a bow!

FrannyandZooey · 13/10/2006 19:44

I know one who pronounces it Roe - sheen.

nannyme · 13/10/2006 19:44

I know a Roisin pronounced Roy-Shaun (as in the 2 masculine names, roy and shaun)

Spidermama · 13/10/2006 19:44

I thought it was Rosheen too. I knew a girl with this name and that's how she pronounced it.

hewlettsdaughter · 13/10/2006 19:45

Ah yes, I've heard that too FaZ.

TooTickyTheAppleMuncher · 13/10/2006 19:48

Goodness! i'll wait and let them say it first
Spidermama, come and join me on the pETA thread, pretty please?

I thought Rosheen.

I think we need some Irish experts to cast the final vote.
My Roisin - albeit only virtual so rarely pronounced - is "Ruh-sheen", with the stress on the 'sheen'.

TwigTwoolett · 13/10/2006 19:51

so ROI - SIN

Like Raisin but with a Roi will be totally wrong then

SOULGIRL · 13/10/2006 19:53

I always thought it was Roy sin

bigknickersbigknockers · 13/10/2006 19:53

Roe sheen

jalopy · 13/10/2006 19:55

Roy sin? Isn't that the thing you use on violin bows?

Tinker · 13/10/2006 19:55

Have always said Roe sheen

fartmeistergeneral · 13/10/2006 19:55

I know a child called Rhys, who pronounces his name to rhyme with furs (as in fur coats), but with an "R" at the start obviously!

WideWebWitch · 13/10/2006 20:01

Oh dear, in my head I say it

Roz in

oops.

bigknickersbigknockers · 13/10/2006 20:02
