There’s also the Rosamond spelling if people don’t like the mund bit. I do prefer Rosamund though.

I have a beautiful friend with this name. Go for it!

shoopshoopdedoo · 29/08/2024 12:26

Love Rose and Rosie but I’m not keen on Rosamund. It feels a little drab to me, and I don’t like the nickname Roz. I like Rosemary as a longer “Rose” name.

Brumchum · 29/08/2024 13:43

Beautiful name. I know a lovely two year old Rosamund.

Olika · 29/08/2024 13:44

I don't like the mund ending.

Underlig · 29/08/2024 13:47

I like it.

MistyF · 29/08/2024 16:21

I love it, but only like Rosa as possible nickname

Andoutcomethewolves · 29/08/2024 16:40

I like it, probably because I have the loveliest, kindest, most beautiful friend called this! She also goes by Rosie. She's teeny and quite hippyish (like some kind of flower fairy 🤣) and both long and short versions of the name suit her to a tee 😊

Hannahspeltbackwards · 29/08/2024 16:41

I don't like it but love Rosalind.

Notellinganyone · 29/08/2024 16:46

Absolutely love it.

Meadowwild · 29/08/2024 16:48

I like it but prefer the spelling Rosamond as 'mund' is a bit ugly.

I absolutely love Rosa as a nn and Rose or Rosie are cute too.

'Rose of the world' is a later (Latin-based) meaning - not the original one. It's based on words that just happen to sound similar but are from different languages.
The original, early Germanic name Rosamund is based on words meaning 'horse' and 'protection'.
Rosalind is similarly based on early Germanic words meaning 'horse' and 'tender'.

But I really like both names, whatever their origin.

redtrain123 · 29/08/2024 20:19

Lovely and classic.

AthenaBasil · 29/08/2024 20:23

I’m another who isn’t keen on the mund ending. I like most other Rose names but this one I like the least.

Yellowgoldsunshine · 29/08/2024 20:31

It's a beautiful name. So unique yet classy with lots of nickname options. It has quite a fairy tale vibe to it. Go for it!

Summerperfume · 29/08/2024 20:52

Nope, it’s a really ugly name

Gorgonemilezola · 29/08/2024 21:00

Absolutely beautiful name.

Gulbekian · 29/08/2024 21:03

Beautiful name!

ChocoChocoLatte · 29/08/2024 21:05

Prefer Rosalyn / Rosalind

GoldenLegend · 29/08/2024 22:16

Lovely.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 30/08/2024 18:42

Gorgeous 1920’s/30’s English beauty wafting around a stately home. Very underused - but make sure you can tolerate the nn Roz as I worry it’ll get shortened despite being so lovely.

MapleMumma · 28/11/2024 10:36

I have a little one year old Rosamund. Obviously I’m biased, but I think it’s such a beautiful name with a romantic fairytale like quality. I know it has various meanings, but I love the Latin meaning of “Rose of the world.” ♥️🌹

LadyGabriella · 28/11/2024 10:40

Prefer

Rosalind

LadyGabriella · 28/11/2024 10:41

Don’t like the mund part. It’s manly.

BabCNesbitt · 28/11/2024 10:44

I have a Rosalind - really wanted to use Rosamund but ex-DH vetoed it! I think they're both beautiful, and she's never been shortened to Rosie.
