Help[Opinions] Re: How would you pronounce Rosaline?
in reply to a message by findthesea
Would you really accent the second syllable like that?

I don't think you understand the question. Madeleine and Rosalind are not accented on the second syllable either.
I think you meant ROZ-uh-line, not roz-UH-line.

Really?
I can see emphasizing the second syllable of Madeleine if you're going for mad-LEN rather than MAD-ə-lien or MAD-ə-lin, but I've never heard of Rosalind or Rosaline said with the emphasis on any syllable but the first.
To keep it all Shakespearean, I believe they have the same rhythm as JES-i-ka or ROH-mee-oh, not mi-RAN-da or ma-REE-na.

Madeleine with the middle symbol emphasized would rhyme with Magellan. Sort of cool, actually!

Do you know what it means to emphasize a syllable?

I was wondering this too! I would say the emphasis should be on the first syllable.
