Rosalia
Another new favorite. What do you think of Rosalia? How do you pronounce it?

Roh-ZAL-ia, definitely! I really prefer Rosalie, though.

I don't hate it but I don't love it. There are too many airy sounds after Rose, and it bothers me that it's sort of ambiguous in pronunciation. I prefer Rosalinda or Rosalie.

I say ro-SAH-lee-ah and think it's gorgeous! I've never met a Rosalia but would be delighted to.

ro-ZAHL-ya is how it comes naturally to me, but I realize that's not typical. I do like it better than ro-zah-LEE-ah, but seeing as this is the most common pronunciation, I'll give my opinion based on that.I prefer Rosalie to it. Rosalia feels a little longer than necessary, though this might just be me wishing it was ro-ZAHL-ya. It's still pretty, it just feels like Rosa and Leah were pushed together.

Hi !!!Well... Rosalia.
It is a very "Southern Italy" name.
More than 51% of all Rosalia live in Sicily.I dislike it.
It seems dated to me and heavy.
..and too related with Sicily (I have no ties with it although is a wonderful region which I would like to visit).Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
