I would have guessed Roy-zin, but I had a feeling that it was an Irish name, so I knew I was probably wrong. I think that your daughter would get her name mispronounced a lot, but that it's an easy fix. I have an uncommon name for Americans, and I have to explain it all of the time. It's really not that big of a deal for me. I say go for it if you love it.
I would say it Ro(w)-sheen (ro as in go go) but that is because of the part of Ireland my family is from.
You also here Raw-sheen and Rosh-een (which are the more northern pronounciations).
They are all correct it is just down to accent
Oh and in Irish you only get the final -ee- sound with a fada on on the second i - but I guess if you aren't in an area where diacritics are used you could omit them and still say it correctly
I also have zero familiarity with this, so i would pronounce it Roy-zin, and i might do a double take thinking it was supposed to be raisin. That's from a total outsider, non-irish perspective!
TIL that it's pronounced Ro-sheen and is an Irish girls' name.
Before today, if I saw it on a class list or resume, I would assume it was ROY-sin rhymes with poison and that it was a made-up or seriously old fashioned boys' name.

But every person I know named Roisin is called Rosie.
Funny story, first time I saw hoisin sauce I was living in Dublin and thought it was ho-sheen because of Roisin and Oisin.
