What do you think about this name?

It’s a lovely classic. A little too old-fashioned for my taste, but it’s nice. I prefer Roslindis.
Gorgeous.
I think it's gorgeous and steely. I've come to prefer Rosamund, but I'll always love Rosalind.

I love it for the Shakespeare character, but I had a rather unfortunate colleague once who put me right off it. I think Shakespeare wins by a hairsbreadth.
I think it’s beautiful. I’d definitely use it.
I like a lot of Rose names but the sudden D at the end makes me dislike this one. It's like the name wanted to continue but someone slammed a door in its face.
like it
It's one of my absolute favourite names. I adore the association with the cross-dressing Shakespeare heroine, the myriad of nickname opportunities, and the light and playful, yet rich and classic style.
It’s okay. I prefer Rosalee :)
Love it! So beautiful.
Just adorable! I'm surprised it was never too popular (her peak was around the 240-250 range) - it's has a sweet sound and meaning to it, it ages well, etc. The nickname Lindy is nice, too. I'd use it for a character in a heartbeat!
I also like the similar (well, similar as in another "rose" name) Rosalie.

It's a favorite, as long as it's pronounced roz and not rose.
I like the pronunciation Rosa-lind but I think most people would pronounce it Roz-a-lind. I just don’t like the harsh sound of Roz.
It's wonderfully Shakespearean and that association will always make me happy. Its not in my top names but I'd be happy to meet a Rosalind irl.
