I like them, though I prefer Rosalind. Roslyn is the name of a pretty town in my state, I think of that before I think of it as a name.I suppose I just like most Ros- names.

I love Rosalind and Roslyn. Rosalyn is nice too but I feel like it's sort of in limbo between the other two. Rosalyn (and Rosalind) is red and purple and flowery and sweet and demure. . Roslyn is brown and yellow and brash and attitude. Really I just love Roz, so I waver between preference between Rosalind and Roslyn. Roslyn is sort of stale/dated looking but in a kind of rebellious and hip way. Rosalyn is like, dated but not dated enough for it to be cool again

I'm in the mood for Roslyn at the moment. Are you pronouncing the first syllable with a "z" or an "s" sound, like Rose or Ross? I prefer the second. It's actually closer to the original Hroslinde. Just a thought. And just to be nerdly, I've always had a soft spot for Rosslyn, even before "The Davinci Code."

Rosalyn sounds beautiful though my preference goes to Roslyn. It's actually my favorite name for a girl starting with that letter. I like how classic yet spunky it is. I picture a Roslyn to be someone who doesn't take crap from anyone (:
