Astrid is my fave

Yika · 15/09/2017 20:31

Very pretty. I like Rosalind best.

What about Ingrid or Sigrid? Aster, Genna, Romola or Romilly, Yseult?

Stitchosaurus · 15/09/2017 20:29

Rosalind or Rosamund - beautiful names!

Notonthestairs · 15/09/2017 20:28

Gorgeous names, i don't think you'd regret any of them (unhelpful!)

purplecorkheart · 15/09/2017 20:28

Rosalind is a beautiful name. The others are lovely but Rosalind would be my choice.

n0ne · 15/09/2017 20:25

All lovely but I have a soft spot for Astrid

upperlimit · 15/09/2017 20:25

Astrid.

lizzieoak · 15/09/2017 20:24

All 3 are lovely but like Genevieve and Astrid best. Prefer the English pronunciation of Genevieve (unless in France).

NannyR · 15/09/2017 20:22

I love Rosalind and Astrid, both are on my fantasy baby name list, along with Zoe, Nina and Rhiannon.

IfNot · 15/09/2017 20:20

Love them all. Rosalind is my fave-Rosa for short.

Doilooklikeatourist · 15/09/2017 20:17

All three are great ,
Rosalyn maybe a bit softer than Rosalind
Genevieve , lovely but NN Evie is a bit over used
Astrid , just lovely

YouBetterWORK · 15/09/2017 20:14

I loved Genevieve. DH? "We're not French!" so vetoed! Rosalind and Astrid are both on our list though; if you asked me to pick one right now from those 3 I'd say Astrid. Classy, beautiful and underused.

ShimmeringIce · 15/09/2017 20:14

I can never decide if Genevieve is pronounced Jen-i-veev or Jzon-vee-ev. Might just be me, though!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/09/2017 20:13

Rosalind, you could have Lindy !
I love Rosie.

AdaColeman · 15/09/2017 20:12

All very lovely, but Astrid is my favourite.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 15/09/2017 20:10

There was a girl in my year called Genevieve. I always loved it.

dillytilly · 15/09/2017 20:07

Genevieve !!!

Jooni · 15/09/2017 19:36

Genevieve or Astrid are gorgeous, in different ways though. Genevieve is flowing, feminine, sophisticated, while Astrid is cool and funky. Depends what feel you want really.

Backhometothenorth · 15/09/2017 19:31

I'm a Rosalind and love it. Think it would be pretty hard to avoid Roz or Rosie if you dislike them however.

Genevieve is gorgeous too.

ColdFeetWarmHeart · 15/09/2017 19:01

Definitely Genevieve. It was on my list but DH vetoed it earlier this week Sad

NorthernLurker · 15/09/2017 18:57

I have a Rosalind. She is mostly Rozzi. Glad to see so many like it.

Caprianna · 15/09/2017 18:55

Rosalind.

I associate Astrid with an older person. I have only come across Astrid in Scandinavia and always an old Auntie. Is it a British name too?

ifigoup · 15/09/2017 18:51

Lindy would be a sweet nickname for Rosalind. I prefer Astrid or Genevieve, though.

redexpat · 15/09/2017 18:49

Ive only ever known one Rosalind and she is lovely so that makes me think its a lovely name.
Astrid I associate with Pippi Longstocking.
Genevieve I like too. You are unlikely to have 2 of any of them in your class.

MinisterForSmallFountains · 15/09/2017 18:47

Rosalind. Lovely, esp in honour of Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday.

Rosalinda as nick name (even though it is longer) or Indie for short.
