romeo and juliet

i was thinking last night about the name rosalind/ rosaline, as in the shakespearean character. i prefer the spelling rosaline myself. i know there are different pronunciations for it but i'm not sure there's any one pronunciation everyone would presume to be correct. would you be inclined to say "roz-a-LINE" or "roz-a-LIN" upon seeing it?

Ranita

I would say roz-a-LIN

Do you want it pronounced Roz-a-lynn or Roz-a-line? No E = lynn to me. With E = line.?

I would pronounce it Roz-a-lin as well.

Bellisimo

ROZ-a-lin

I would pronounce it Roz-a-LINE.  Kind of line Caroline (Car-o-LINE).

Pretty name!

Ditto. I really like that name

jenerally

regardless, she would forever be telling people how to pronounce her name.

*Scuzzlebutt*

The character's name is Rosalind (pronounced "Roz-ah-lind", not "Rose-ah-lind" or "Roz-ah-lin") and she's in the play As You Like It.

People will probably mispronounce this name.

i know there is a rosalind in as you like it, i was referring to the character in r&j who was romeo's love interest before juliet. i think there still may be too many different pronunciations of this version of the name.
