Rosaline/Rosalind

mkanderson85

I love both. What say you? And which would you pick? Do you go more Romeo and Juliet or more As You Like It? DH isn't really a fan of either, but I think I have enough time to convince.

Also, at first glance, how would you pronounce Rosaline? Would you say rose-uh-line or roz-uh-line? I'm scared of it getting butchered. I don't want Rosalynn or Rozalynn.

I go more towards As You Like It than Romeo & Juliet.  As for the pronunciation of Rosaline, I'd look at it and say Rose-uh-line or Rose-uh-leen.  I think it's a really pretty name and not one that you see every day.

 But Rosalind I'd say Rozz-uh-lind, I think.

Roz-a-line, Romeo and Juliet, all the way. I think both names are really pretty.

For Rosalind, I actually immediately think of Rosalind Franklin (the female scientist who actually discovered DNA structure)

I do not care for the name at all.

I LOVE Rosalind! Roseline is meh for me. I know a girl who pronounces it Rose-uh-leen, but she is French.

When I see Rosaline, I think Rose-ah-leen (rather than lyne).

When I see Rosalind, I think Roz-uh-lind)

My grandma was Rosaleen (ROSE-uh-leen) after the poem

So that's my fav!

I like Rosealine - I'd pronounce it Rose-ah-line, just how it's spelt

Agree that I prefer Rosalie.

I love it either way. I prefer Rosalind (Ross-a-lyn) over Rosaline (Rose-a-line). Thats just a personal preference bc I want to be able to use the nick name Rossi (after my granddad Rossy) and not Rose.

I have LOVED Rosaline (roz-uh-line) forver. I think its such a beautiful name. My mom disagrees and says it remindes her of one of the Kennedys, can't remember which one. So I won't be using it but I love it!!!
