HelpRosamel
So it just recently dawned on me that my beloved Romy, could work as a nn for Rosamel. I've always loved Rosamel but its "made-up-ness" has made me apprehensive. But, since Rosamel could result in Romy, Rose, Rosa, and Mel (all of which I ADORE) I'm willing to take it more seriously. So WDYT of Rosamel in general and Rosamel nn Romy?
Rosamel Eve has been my stock combo

I'm kind of liking Rosamel...but I'm generally a fan of Ros/Rosa/Rose- names.
I'm not fond of Romy, but it definitely works for Rosamel. (Although I would prefer Rosemary nn Romy. Rosemary is in my top ten for girls.)

Rosamel intrigued me. So I googled it. It's a French surname with an Antarctic island named after a famous French naval Rosamel. So you could defend it as a geographic name, not "made up" at all. It's used in South America (rarely) as a masculine fn. Who knew?
I certainly agree with you about the Rose / Rosa + mel (honey) sounds. Gorgeous. Although with Ros- names you always have to consider that the root might be "horse" not "rose."

Agree with Helena - maybe because honey in Welsh is mêl - it is a bit overly sweet, in fact sounds like a brand of rose-hip syrup. But if I saw Rosamel Eve in a BA I'd probably think it was quite interesting and pretty.

No offence, but I find it far too sweet and even a bit cutesy, no doubt because 'mel' means 'honey' (the sweet golden goo, not darling) in Portuguese. I can't seem to look past that, but I suppose it would work in an English-speaking country. Romy is okay, not really my style but it's sorta cute. It reminds of me Romy Schneider.
Eve compliments it nicely, though.
