I once knew a girl called Rosie. She pronounced it RO-see (see as in the letter C) not RO-zee to make it sound softer. Personally, I wouldn't pronounce it as RO-see as it leaves a gap between the o and the s, and there is a teasing possibility - the nickname "Roce" rhymes with gross so RO-see = gross-ie. Another teasing possibility is that "Roce" sounds a bit like Roach, so RO-see the Roach or Roachie. RO-zee, even though it has a harsher sound to it, it runs more smoothly, and sounds better. If you prefer the RO-see pronunciation I suggest altering the spelling to Rocie or Roacey to avoid pronunciation mistakes.
