Makes me think of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year).

cute... That's not a bad thing to be reminded of though.

Like the other posters, I get a Shoshannah vibe from it, or a combination name of Rose / Ros and Hanna maybe. I'd pronounce it like Rosanna, so I'd spell it that way (or Roseanna, like my little sister).

I prefer Rosanna. Roshanna reminds me of Shoshannah / Shoshana, which I find interesting, but it's not something I'd consider using.

Sounds like a blend of Róisín and Shoshannah.
Not bad, just not quite my style.

I know a guy named Roshan, maybe it's a feminized version of that? Anyway, I don't really like it. It's not bad though, just not my thing.

I think that's definitely possible. I also think it might be relate to Roxana, which looks like it's related to Roshan.I read a book about Afghanistan and I'd swear there was a girl in there named Roshana. I don't like it much but I'm not into R names.
