Meh... I tried.

i would guess its pronounced rox-eh-lahn-ah. i've learned that Turkish words dont have any silent letters (at least thats what a Turkish friend of mine told me) so if you see a letter in there (like the E in the middle), pronounce it.

If you want to stay with a Turkish name all the way through you could go with:

---

Roxelana Yasemin (yass-eh-meen, this is the name of my friends daughter)
Roxelana Ayse (ay-shuh)
Roxelana Nur (noor)
Roxelana Busra (bush-ruh)
Roxelana Semra
Roxelana Esra

or Arabic mn's

Roxelana Basima
Roxelana Basira
Roxelana Fayruz (fair-ooz)
Roxelana Hadia (hah-dee-ya)
Roxelana Hafsa
Roxelana Leila
Roxelana Lujayn (loo-zhayn)
Roxelana Nadia
Roxelana Rabia or Rabea
Roxelana Raja
Roxelana Sadia or Saudia
Roxelana Safiya
Roxelana Samira
Roxelana Shahrazad - this one is a bit of a mouthful but it kinda sounds cool.
Roxelana Taliba
Roxelana Thamina
Roxelana Zayna
Roxelana Zainab
Roxelana Zuleika

hope this helps! :)

1. Don't know about correct, but my first instinct is rahks-el-AH-na
2. Roxelana Marie, Roxelana Angel, Roxelana... um... well I thought of two :)

1. I think I'd pronounce it Roks-uh-lan-ah.
2. Roxelana Lydia, Grace, Taylor, Megan, Payge, ? I can't think of any right now. Try going through popularities of like 2007 and match up names you think might fit.

1. I would pronounce it Rox-uh-lahna or Rox-elle-uh-nuh
2. Not in a combo making mood, lol.
My half-sisters name is Roxanne and i like it a lot, so i like the Rox- part.
