Rosina is my mother in law's name and I love it. She goes by Rose; She does not like Rosina. I am not allowed to call her that lol. Her parents came over to America from Italy. I think it's a beautiful name.
Rosina is a beautiful name per se, but in my opinion it sounds and looks too much like the Finnish word "rusina", which means raisin. Still, if you never knew about the Finnish word then sure, Rosina is a pretty, sophisticated and unusual name!
It seems like a very graceful, romantic, name. I love it, and I wanted to use this as a first name for the longest time. I love the name Rosina Juliet. I also love Juliet Rosina.
No one has mentioned the 'Barber of Seville' to me when they see it, but that was/is a very old production. The modernized version of it is Sweeney Todd; the demon barber of Fleet Street. This is a musical and has been produced as a film with Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham-Carter as main characters- extremely good film! I recommend it! My school is even putting a show of it on at the moment!

My name is Rosina but my friends call me many other names. It could be because it can be a mouthful if you say it a lot of times. I like my name because it is unusual and interesting.

It's my middle name too - also a tradition in my family for the eldest daughter! My great grandmother was Clara Rosina but used Rosina (shortened to Rose) as her given name. A beautiful name I think.

My second middle name is Rosina. It is our family tradition going back several generations for the eldest daughter to have Rosina in her name, therefore I have this name so to does my mum, my nan, my Grandma had this aswell and that is a far back as I know.I do have a colleague at work whose first name is Rosina and she was quite impressed that I pronounced it correctly!I think the name is definitely feminine.

A British friend of mine is named Rosina, and she really hates it. Apparently people usually mispronounce Rosina so she always introduces herself simply as "Rosie" to people. She feels her parents tried too hard to be fancy when picking her name.
