Rosalind pronunciation?

Do you all think it is ok to pronounce Roselind like Rose and not Roz? Will that be confusing? Thanks for any input.

I actually attend a school named Rosalind Franklin University and EVERYONE in and around the school refer to it as Roz - a - lynn. I think it may be a difficult name for people to pronounce correctly just because we are so used to saying it the other way. It's hard to change people's habits.
ex. A friend of mine insisted on naming her daughter Maygan instead of megan. So everytime someone calls her megan she...now a 5 year old says....Its May...gan not megan. I has gotten really old for most people to deal with.
But if you really love it you'll just learn to deal with the constant correcting of the name.
Good Luck
That is the way that I do say the name...with a long O as in Rose, rather than a short O. I would definitely, however, spell it Rosalind rather than Roselind. The second way just looks weird.
Great name...very pretty, feminine, and classic.
