Rosalind

[17caterpillars1mouse]

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

Toby, Andrew, Henry...
... Malvolio, Puck, Bottom.

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 doesn't, though, because it doesn't rhyme with 'find'. It's Rosalind to rhyme with, um, binned? It has a completely different sound from Rosaline.

my mum's name. love it as it's unusual.

Lovely name. V Shakespearean and none the worse for that. Shortened to Ros, Roz, Rosie - what't not to like?!

Rosa Linda - Beautiful Rose.

Beautiful & classy!

Rosalind is fine. But the shortenings aren't very nice. I know a five year old Rosalind who is sometimes called Rozi by her parents, which is ok I suppose, but at school she often gets Roz, which is horrid.

Why is "Roz" horrid LongPurples? I think it's lovely!

I know a 3 year old Rosalind. I like the Shakespearean connection.

I thought the Shakespeare one was Rosaline? Line to rhyme with mine?

Regardless, I like the name Rosalind a lot, and Rosa for short (rather than Roz).

It's my DDs name and no one has every called her Ros

Sorry, just seen upthread that Rosalind is from As You Like It. Was thinking of Romeo and Juliet

littlecabbage as you like it has a Rosalind. An excellent character

I've a feeling "As You Like It" likes both Rosalind and Rosaline, depending on the rhyme?

Name of a good friend. We all call her Ros. I love it, it's very pretty.

Sorry don't like it but I know a not very nice one so that colours my judgement.

I just don't like the way the Rosa goes with lind either

I like it and I know 2, one late 20s/early 30s, known as Ros. The other one is 18 and is known as Rosie.

merdebre it it's Rosalind. But occasionally he changes ending of all names to fit a rhyme,

I like this a lot. Thumbs up.

I like it very much but prefer 'Rosalyn', it's softer.

I prefer Rosamund

Yes, I like that too. You don't hear it much nowadays, there's a piece of music by that name.

From wiki: The name Rosamund (also spelled Rosamond and Rosamunde) is a girls' name and can also be a family name (surname). Originally it combined the Germanic elements hros, meaning horse, and mund, meaning "protection". Later, it was influenced by the Latin phrases rosa munda, meaning "pure rose",[1] and rosa mundi, meaning "rose of the world".[2] "Rosamonda" is the Italian, "Rosamunde" is the German and "Rosemonde" the French form of the name.

rachelover40 that's a completely different name!

A good friend is called Rosalind and she's called Lindy for short. But I love the name.

Absolutely beautiful
