Pretty

HeiressesGiltnor · 12/07/2015 23:00

I like it but prefer Rosemary

ObeseDenise · 12/07/2015 23:01

Pretty but I really don't like Ros as a nn.

scatterthenuns · 12/07/2015 23:01

Love it.

VixxFace · 12/07/2015 23:12

hate it

Sophronia · 12/07/2015 23:47

It's nice, but I prefer Rosamund.

MamaLazarou · 13/07/2015 07:28

It's a bit dour. Rosalie is nicer.

TheCowThatLaughs · 13/07/2015 07:57

I like it a lot

MaudeTheMopLady · 13/07/2015 08:46

Beautiful

sweetpeame · 13/07/2015 08:53

I like it. Very Shakespearian but not too out there.

SoupDragon · 13/07/2015 09:13

I like it.

I prefer it to Rosalie which I think is a bit fluffy and weak.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 13/07/2015 09:16

Not to my taste. I find it harsh. I do however like Rose Rosa and Rosie

harryhausen · 13/07/2015 09:27

I like it. It's similar to Rosamund which is my best friends name. She calls herself Roz. It suits her.

BothEndsBurning · 13/07/2015 11:32

Beautiful. A Shakespearean classic.
With all the riffs on Rose and Linda, a very versatile name.

RattleAndRoll · 13/07/2015 11:36

I prefer Rosalie.

reuset · 13/07/2015 12:00

Also prefer Rosamund which has a timeless feel. I think it's the 'lind' part that dates it for me.

ashesandfire · 13/07/2015 16:35

I love it! It seems stronger and less frothy than some of the other Rose names, I think.
And Shakespearean too. Plus it has good nickname potential, Rose or Rosie or Lindy - lovely.

CPtart · 13/07/2015 17:00

Dislike it. But do like Roseanne!

ButterflyOfFreedom · 13/07/2015 17:08

Not keen, seems a little oldie-worldly to me.

I do like Rosa though.

NadiaWadia · 13/07/2015 17:19

It's lovely and classic. There was one in Shakespeare etc. I don't see why the 'lind' part makes it dated really, doesn't make sense to me.

Also like Rosamond, Rosemary, Rosanna, Rosalie and just Rosa. Rose itself is quite over used at the moment, though.

villainousbroodmare · 13/07/2015 17:21

Love love love, more so than any of the other Ros names. Lots of abbreviations too.

NadiaWadia · 13/07/2015 17:21

Also I think the Irish name 'Roisin' is beautiful, and the Anglicized version 'Rosaleen'. But maybe you would need to have Irish connections?

CakeRattleandRoll · 14/07/2015 02:18

I like it. Something a bit different from all the names you feel that you hear a hundred times a day.

onthering · 14/07/2015 02:21

I like it. You might start a comeback though.

FatSwan · 14/07/2015 02:25

I like it, particularly with Rose as a short form.
