Rosalind

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Rosalind? Do you know any?

Think I'd prefer Rosaleen/Rosanna. Just maybe softer.

One of my all time favourite names! It sounds pretty and feminine but strong at the same time. It's timeless and classic, suits all ages.

Ok but personally find the lind a bit harsh.
I like Rosa and I like Rosalie.

It's my name and I've always hated it It's far too classic and old-fashioned for my liking.

I love it!

Love it.

Yes, know a perfectly lovely early 20s Rosalind. Plenty of shortenings if you want, but very classic if later they need or want to use their full name.

Like I say, love it.

Reminds me of Rosalind Franklin, so yes from me

It is old fashioned but classic none the less.

It's lovely. The 'lind' isn't harsh at all, since the emphasis is all at the start of the name. I much prefer it to both Rosa and Rosalie.

I think it's a great name - strong and beautiful rather than pretty/girly.

I think you have to be aware that everyone will call her Roz. It’s a bit dated imho.

We were certain we were going to call our DD Rosalind then when she was born we decided she didn't look like a Rosalind but I still love the name.

Sounds like someone with a cold trying to say Rosaline. Like in the friends episode when Monica has a cold and says "I'm find" instead of "I'm fine"

It's beautiful.
I think I would use it as a mn because it might be misspelt as Rosaline or Rosalyn, neither of which I'm mad about.

It’s lovely. Classic but still unusual. I prefer a Rosie shortening to a Ros/Roz though, and a shortening is inevitable

I used to work with a Rose. Her full name was Rosalind. I like Ros too, probably prefer it as a nn. I like Rosie but as a name not nn.

Lovely. Classic and feminine without being frilly and girly.

My aunt is Rosalind.
Character in "As You Like It "
I do like the name.
I have come across another 2 in my 33 years of working.

You can't go wrong with many of the Shkespearean names. I'd avoid Goneril, Clytemnestra and Titania though.

Lovely. Can't think of a negative.

Love it.

I know a Rosalyn and 2 Rosalinds, all aged 38-41.

Shakespeare's men's names are generally dodgy though.

argh !
