Both are nice, but I prefer Rosalind. It evokes images of the Medieval ages, Shakespeare, and a dusty rose color to me. Rosalind is romantic without being over-the-top. Rosaline is a bit more "common" sounding, and can be easily mispronounced- I'd imagine she'd be correcting people throughout life as it's pretty 50/50.

Other than Josephine I find all of the names -een endings to sound really ugly and harsh, so I prefer Rosalind for that reason alone. I also think Rosalind is more substantial and it has a great namesake.

I prefer Rosalind, but Rosaline is nice too. I also like Rosalin

Hmm, Rosalind has not ever flowed off the tongue well for me. The -d seems like an awkward afterthought. So I'm leaning toward Rosaline. I don't love it, but I think I like it better.

hah, I'm glad you specified pronunciation because I was gonna be like "in my accent, those basically sound the exact same" haha

Also taking that into account, I much prefer Rosalind. I think it's a nicer sound and I'm not so much a fan of 'een' endings personally.
