Help[Opinions] Re: Rhoswen
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
Where is this from?
I like the sound (ROZ-wehn?), but that H strikes me as unnecessary.

It's a Welsh name that's only been in use since the last century. A modern name, I suppose you could say, equivalent to Saoirse or Aislinn in Ireland in terms of usage and modernity.
Rhoswen means 'fair, white or blessed rose'. Rhos- coming from the Welsh word for rose: rhosyn.
It's pronounced 'hross-wen'.

Agreed.
The sound is nice, assuming that it's prn. ROZ-wehn, but the spelling is misleading. To me, at least.
[ETA: I love your sig, MariaNikolaievnaRomanova. :)]
