I've decided I really like the name Noreen. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but only recently has it occured to me that I like it enough for it to be a "favorite." WDYTO Rosa Noreen? I think it's beautiful. :-)

It's nice. I prefer Norine (same pron) though.

I consider it somewhat dated, and I am not really sure how I feel about the name Noreen. I think that I prefer Maureen. I do, however, like the combo of Rosa Noreen. I would like Rosa Maureen better, though.

It was my grandmother's mn, Elsie Noreen. I'm not crazy about -een names, not sure why. I prefer Nora to Noreen, but it's not bad. Rosa Noreen flows well, I think.

I have a cousin named Noreen. It's very Irish. Rosa is nms, but I think Noreen makes a nice middle name. I also like Nora.

Yes, I like it too, it being an Irish name, and our family (or actually, me and my siblings*) being 100% Irish, you kind of get an insight there. :)

I love Noreen-and Nora as well. Rosa Noreen is pretty.

I forgot to add that I have a second cousin named Mary Noreen from Ireland-lives in the States now. I love her name!
