Rosaline

Ever read Romeo & Juliet? :)
Remember Romeo's old girlfriend? 
Her name was Rosaline(roz-ah-line).
I read the play in grade 9, completely loved the play & that name. 
It really stuck with me and now I am wondering what everyone thinks of it.
Does it sound too pretentious? Just throwing it out thurr. :P
WDYT?

Nah, not really pretentious.
Its a pretty name.

I think it's pretty and very feminine. Or, if her personality is not girly, Roz is a cool nickname.

Makes me think of Frasier, which is a good thing :P

I think it's pretty

Rosalind is one of my favorite names. I plan on naming my future girl Neva Rosalind.

[maniacalapricot.livejournal.com]

That is a gorgeous name! :)

I like it but I like Juliet better.

I like the name Rosaline, but I am more likely to name my daughter Juliet :-) Therefore it's probably an excellent name because it will be less popular, but not totally wacko!

It's a great name.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Love it

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

I love it. I love almost all Rose- names. I love the nickname Rosie, but they sound great when older. Although I prefer Rosalind.

Great name. I love the nickname Ros for it. I also like Rosalyn, but I think prefer this -ine ending. I don't think it's a pretentious name at all.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I actually really like it.

[jenufa.livejournal.com]

My cat was Rosalinda (Rozzy) :( So it would always make me think of her. I miss my big fat old kitty. ;-;

I don't think it's pretentious.
It's not really my style, but it is pretty. Here we would pronounce it Roe-sah-leen.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I love it! It reminds me of the poem, My Dark Rosaleen

Would you pronounce it RosaLINE or RosaLEAN?

[spikes-sexkitty.livejournal.com]

i always pronounce it as:

'ROZ-uh-lyn'

[maniacalapricot.livejournal.com]

Definitely roz-ah-line.

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

Wait, is the name like "rawzzz" or "rose"?
If it's "rose", then I think it sounds better with a "lyn" sound at the end more than "line".
But if it's "rawz", then I think that the "line" sounds better.

[maniacalapricot.livejournal.com]

It's "rawz". :P
