[Opinions] Roseny / Rosemy
I recently asked for opinions on Rozenn (Rosen) and now I've been thinking about Roseny ("ROSE-enny") and Rosemy (or Rose-Emmy / Rose-Emme). So what do you think? Could it work or does it just sounds way too made-up?

Haha, I thought I had made Rosenny up myself! I love it...but it wouldn't work here. People would pronounce it ROO-se-NEE, because that would mean something like "new like a rose" in Swedish. I've named one of my porcelain dolls Rosenny Fern.

I think they'd both be mistaken for Rosalie, several times a day, every day.

Reminds me of Caprice's GP Rosenny. She says it with an S sound, rather than a Z sound, though. It could be RO-senny or ro-SEN-y. I think it looks better Rosenny than Roseny, which looks like it could sound like "rosiny" ... covered in rosin? and I like Caprice's ro-SEN-ee pronunciation more than ROSE-enny.My own GP along these lines is Rose-Amy (or Rosamy, equally impossible to pronounce). I've contemplated lots of ways to spell it. Rosaimi, lol?Rose-Emme seems like it could work really well. It's short enough, and not too precious. Rosemmy, even.
