Rosalind, Genevieve or Astrid

[ElspethTascioni]

or any other inspiration you might have...it's now rather urgent, baby is already overdue...

I really love Rosalind. It has a delicate, old fashioned feel which I like but also can be shortened to Rosey which I find more fiesty and modern (I know it's not)

I always think Genevieve sounds so serious. Too serious. But I do love that it can be shortened to Ginny which is such an underused beauty

Astrid is nice but I do much prefer Rosalind

Rosalind Astrid?

Phadra
Skyler
Tabitha

I like Astrid though.

Ooh, don't like Phaedra or Skyler. Tabitha is nice but always reminds me of Tabitha Twitchett.

I am drawn to Rosalind, but don't like Rosey as a NN or Ros, so have no idea what they'd get!

Astrid 100%. It sounds cool/trend, fresh (for some reason!) not over used and a bit quirky.

Astrid is stunning!

I adore Genevieve. So many potential nicknames and so beautiful to say.

I like Genevieve and Rosalind (prefer Rosamund though)

My vote goes to Genevieve

I like Genevieve and Rosalind and also Rosamund. Astrid is qute nice too but I prefer the other two.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

Genevieve !!!

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

All very lovely, but Astrid is my favourite.

Rosalind, you could have Lindy !
I love Rosie.

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

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.

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

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