[Opinions] Rosalind and Rosalyn
Replies
I definitely prefer Rosalyn. Whenever I hear a name ending with -lind or -mund. I automatically think it's a boy's name. Rosamund sounds like a masculine name with -mund ending.

I've only ever heard ROZalind, and yes, the D is sounded. I think of it as Horse + Snake, which makes a short O necessary - if it was Pretty Rose it'd be a long O.
For Rosalyn, I'd expect ROSEalyn, I'd assume it was Rosa + Lyn, and I don't like it. Rosalind is fine and has got an excellent Shakespearean connection: I used to avoid it for personal reasons, but that's faded.

I say ROZ-uh-lind. I think that way it isn't to sweet sound with Rose and the lin/lynn sound. I really like it because of Rosalind Franklin, and I'm trying to find somewhere to put it in the middle as a nod to her. Plus I love the vintage aspect. I don't like Rosalyn much. It doesn't look as pleasant, and I think the d ending of Rosalind finishes it off nicely.
