Re: Rosalind or Rosamund?
I love Rosalind - it is so beautiful, and the name of a friend. I don't like the -mund part of Rosamund, though do appreciate its medieval history connections (Rosamund Clifford). Rosamond is a much prettier spelling imho, and makes the name a real rival to Rosalind. In fact, I can see that Rosamond might be more appealing than Rosalind, since it's less commonly encountered. It was Elizabeth Taylor's middle name and I love that combo.
I can only think of Rosa as an alternative to Ros, though hardly as naturally occurring. Not too fond of Rosie.
Rosamond Helen is a combo I like - better than Rosamond Helena though that's pretty too.

It was reading about Rosamund Clifford that brought this name back to my attention. :)
