It’s very musical and pretty, a name I found in my family tree. The Italian pronunciation stresses the third syllable (ro-za-LEE-ah) but I would be more inclined to stress the second (ro-ZAH-lee-ah), more similar to the pronunciation of Polish version Rozalia. However both are gorgeous!

Longer and frillier than it needs to be. Rosalie looks and sounds better.

It's ok, although a little frilly

It's very pretty.
My POV on names usually defaults to "what would I think of it on a newborn child of Americans who are a lot like myself" ... because I don't really have any other POV ... In that case I think it would stand out to me as a bit Old-Worldish, about like Valeria or Valentina or Aurelia. Americans reaching for something that seems new/fresh to us, but isn't modern. It seems appealing as such, though, and just for the sound of it.
I like it a lot more than Rosalie.
It seems more fashionable and "young" than Rosa.
I like that it could have nn Rosie or Lia.
It's not a favorite of mine, not quite my style.

As an Italian it feels very stereotypically Sicilian, to the point if someone named the character of a Sicilian woman that I’d suggest they change it to something less obvious. I wonder if, like many names that are old fashioned and southern, it’s falling out of use.
