Rosalind is a female first name.
Rosalind is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,374 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,373 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 21,220 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Rosalind. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With eight letters, the name Rosalind is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Rosalind and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Rosalind, you can simply say:
Rocket
Orange
Sun
Apple
Lion
Igloo
Nut
