Róisín

Kind of looks like raisin.

Very interesting. I think it sounds nice.

I love my name Róisín. Here are some nicknames my closest friends use which I love as well. Ro, Róis, Rose. The only downside of my name in Ireland is a lot of people from Northern Ireland and Ulster pronounce it “RAW - SHEEN” which I despise a lot, I hate the sound of it. My friends from other countries get used to pronouncing my name quick enough so it isn’t very difficult to pronounce.

I'd thought this might have originally had some relation to the ancient name Roshanak / Roxana (Dawn). Guess I was way off.

I personally prefer to say it as "Row-sheen" (Rose\Rosie) much more beautiful.

Róisín is a beautiful name. If I had a daughter, there's a good chance I'd give her this name. From what I hear, it's quite common in Ireland, but I live in the US, where it's extremely rare.

This is a beautiful name! It's a lot nicer than Rosie, ugh.

I first saw the name on this website and never looked at the way it is pronounced. I always said it as Roy-sin, but now I see it is said Row-sheen. Still, it's pretty either way.

It's a nice name, I like the way it is pronounced but it looks too much like the word raisin to me.

I love this name, odd but beautiful. I like 'Rose-een' better then 'rosh-een' so that how I would use it with my daughter.

This looks really pretty, how it's spelled, but its pronunciation is awful. 'Rosh-een' sounds really tacky.

I hate it when people mispronounce this beautiful name!

This name is very pretty. I know a girl named this, but the only problem is that she gets called the weirdest things by substitute teachers when they try to say it. I always thought you said it Ro-sheen. Very nice.

It makes me think of raisins.

I think it's a pretty name. Although, even though it's a girls name, I really like it for a boys name, personally.

One of my friends back in school was called Róisín and although it's such a beautiful name, virtually no teacher was able to pronounce it properly.

So unique and beautiful. Much better than it's English counterpart, Rosy.
