How do you pronounce Rosaline?

[HarderToBreathe]

I’ve heard [name]Rosaline[/name] pronounced so many ways. So how do you pronounce it? [name]Roz[/name]-uh-leen? [name]Rose[/name]-uh-leen? [name]Roz[/name]-uh-line? [name]Rose[/name]-uh-line? What do you think?

[whisk_me_away]

I’ve always heard it pronounced [name]Roz[/name]-uh-lyn.

[aj_bear]

I say it [name]Roz[/name]-uh-line, though I’m also inclined to say [name]Ross[/name]-a-line.

[thatkathryngirl]

[name]Rose[/name]-uh-leen. I think [name]Roz[/name]-uh-lyn is spelled [name]Rosalyn[/name].

[slave_bracelets]

I’d say [name]Rose[/name]-ah-line

[kashed22]

I would say rose-uh-line

[system]

Either rose-uh-leen or rose-uh-line.

Rose-uh-leen. I think Roz-uh-lyn is spelled Rosalyn.

Ditto this!

[heytherepigeon]

I say [name]Rose[/name]-uh-leen, but I’ve heard Rozz-lynn before…

[oboeplayer1]

I think it’s [name]Rose[/name]-a-leen.

@oboeplayer1

I think it’s [name]Rose[/name]-a-leen.

Ditto.

I also think this is by far the nicest pronunciation. The ‘roz’ pronunciations lose the prettiness of the ‘rose’ sound at the beginning.

[celianne]

My first thought was [name]Rose[/name]-uh-line. Then [name]Roz[/name]-uh-leen. I prefer the former.

[Megan_Janaya]

I pronounce it [name]ROZ[/name]-ah-leen.

I believe the correct pronunciation is [name]ROZ[/name]-a-line. That’s how it’s been pronounced at every [name]Shakespeare[/name] performance I’ve been to at least.

Correct

[maggiemary]

[name]ROZ[/name]-ah-line here.

Same here. And since that’s the only place I’ve encountered the name, I’ve got to go with the [name]Bard[/name].
