    How would you pronounce this name?

    I'm looking for a female middle name that can incorporate family names. We have a male middle name. One option I've thought of is a name that could be a mix of both grandmothers' names. Lucky for me, there are a couple that could work and I dont have to make something up (I think people know I hate made up names, so dont want to be a hypocrit).

    I'm just concerned about pronunciation.

    How would you pronounce Rosalene?

    I must be the odd one out - I'd pronounce it roz-uh-leen. The first 2 pronounciations are pretty, it's a pretty name

    To me it would be either of the first 2, though rose was my first thought

    I can't see the poll on iPhone (assuming from posts that there is one)
    My first though was Rosa lyn

    I went phonetically...Roz-uh-lene due to no 'E' at the end of Ros. This would be only if I saw it written down, if you said the name first I would pronounce it how you would want it.
