Rosalind
How do you say Rosalind? I've always heard it said Rozlyn.

I have heard it ROZ-ə-lind, but I like it more pronounced Ro-sah-lind. Either way it is a lovely name that evokes the image of knights in shining armor and mystically beautiful ladies riding on white horses. Barring romantic legends, Rosalind reminds me of Shakespeare's heroine in 'As You Like It.'
Instead of Rosalind, What about Rosalina?
I heard it pronounced "Rozz-Ah-Lynn".

Nah, Rosalina is frilly.
Ditto, although it seems that people are choosing to pronounce it ro-sah-lind, which I don't like
It's very pretty, with the Shakesperean reference to boot.
I've only ever known one, and she pronounced it ROZ-a-lind very firmly and never answered to any nn or shortened form at all. In her case it was a Shakespeare reference (As You Like It), so the rhythm had to fit a pentameter line, which ROZlin wouldn't.
'ROZ-uh-lind'.
ROZ-a-lind.
ros-ah-lind
Roz-ah-lind or Roz-ah-lin. I really love this name.
I say Roz-ah-lind. Pronouncing the "d".
Hoo boy. That's my name. I pronounce it ROZ-uh-lind.
I love it!

A British friend has this name - it's beautiful, one of my very favourites.

Like roz-uh-lind. I prefer Rosaline, which I pronounce like rose-uh-leen.
