Comments for ROSALIND:
This is the name of the actress Rosalind Russell.-- Anonymous User 3/8/2006
Sexy and sophisticated name! Awesome!-- Anonymous User 6/22/2006
I think Rosalind is quite pretentious-sounding and too old-fashioned to suit a child or teenager. It makes me think of an old woman. But I think that with the right abbreviation or combined with another name, the right person with a really strong personality could update this name and make it into something fresh and modern. And of course, who wouldn't want their daughter to be named after a beautiful rose? I think this name has potential.-- Anonymous User 8/10/2006
Somebody once told me that the name Rosalind means "snake" in another language - however I find this quite hard to believe!-- Anonymous User 8/10/2006
Rosalind is a character in William Shakespeare's play As You Like It.-- seethisworld 8/10/2006
For some reason I really love this name, it's just so classic.-- O Maoileoin 9/5/2006
Rosalind Franklin was a Bristish scientist who studied DNA in the 1950's.-- Aqua 1/30/2007
Also pronounced RAHZ-a-lind.-- Kate 8/6/2007
I think this name is much easier to pronounce than Roslyn.-- Honeyrose 12/22/2007
Rosalind is the name of a small inner moon of Uranus, discovered in 1986 by the Voyager 2.-- AndrewJKD 4/13/2008
I've heard this name pronounced without the "d" at the end, i.e, "ROZ-a-lin".-- Reina Vered 6/16/2008
I definitely want to name my daughter some form of Rosalind/Rosalyn/Rosamund/etc. but I like pronouncing not like Rahz-a-lind. I'm scared people will say it like that when coming across her and I don't want to put her through correcting everyone.-- Circus Lullaby 1/3/2009
A famous bearer is American singer Rosalind Ashford (b. September 2, 1943). She's a soprano R&B/soul singer, best known for her work with the famed group Martha and the Vandellas.-- AndrewJKD 7/11/2009
My name is Rosalind, and I have to say it indeed is a "heavy" name for a child or a teen. I have never really liked my name, although many people have told me they think it is beautiful. I usually go by "Roz" or my family name, Rozzie.
99.9% of people mispronounce my name, at least in the US, where I was born. I get "Roseland" "Rozlin" "Roslin", and all other variants EXCEPT for "rahzalind". Native Spanish speakers ALWAYS call me "Rosalinda", which I do not mind as much as "Roseland". Just something to think about if you are planning to name your child Rosalind! And I was named after Shakespeare's Rosalind.-- realroz 9/12/2009
I love this name, and I'm surprised it isn't used more often.-- -Julia- 9/27/2009
I really like this name; I think it's fresh and young-sounding, but has a deeper historical presence as well. So basically, I think this name has the best of both worlds in terms of usability. :)-- walesgal92 5/1/2010
All "Rose" names seem to have a dual meaning and history depending on whether you associate it with the Germanic elements hrod or hros or the Latin rosa. Either way, a beautiful name, though I prefer Rosalyn.-- britto08 10/11/2010
Rosalind is a delectably beautiful Shakespearean name that is my teenager friend's name - I envy her. It's so stupid to condemn this or any other name as an "old lady's" name - old ladies were babies once, and naming styles recycle themselves, though Rosalind has never been used enough at any one time to be dated to a particular decade - a real advantage.
It's much more stylish and classy that Rosalyn and is so perfect as a middle name as well, suiting many names and a welcome refreshing change from Rose.-- Anonymous User 7/14/2011
