It's wonderfully Shakespearean and that association will always make me happy. Its not in my top names but I'd be happy to meet a Rosalind irl.

I like the pronunciation Rosa-lind but I think most people would pronounce it Roz-a-lind. I just don’t like the harsh sound of Roz.

It's a favorite, as long as it's pronounced roz and not rose.

Just adorable! I'm surprised it was never too popular (her peak was around the 240-250 range) - it's has a sweet sound and meaning to it, it ages well, etc. The nickname Lindy is nice, too. I'd use it for a character in a heartbeat!

I also like the similar (well, similar as in another "rose" name) Rosalie.

Love it! So beautiful.

It’s okay. I prefer Rosalee :)

It's one of my absolute favourite names. I adore the association with the cross-dressing Shakespeare heroine, the myriad of nickname opportunities, and the light and playful, yet rich and classic style.

like it

I like a lot of Rose names but the sudden D at the end makes me dislike this one. It's like the name wanted to continue but someone slammed a door in its face.

I think it’s beautiful. I’d definitely use it.

I love it for the Shakespeare character, but I had a rather unfortunate colleague once who put me right off it. I think Shakespeare wins by a hairsbreadth.

I think it's gorgeous and steely. I've come to prefer Rosamund, but I'll always love Rosalind.

Gorgeous.

It’s a lovely classic. A little too old-fashioned for my taste, but it’s nice. I prefer Roslindis.
