Re: Rosalind or Rosamund?
in reply to a message by Sadie-Janae
I prefer Rosamond (my preferred spelling, but Rosamund is OK) to Rosalind for personal reasons: I knew a sadly unbalanced Rosalind once.
The Rosalind I knew was never called by any nn. I pronounce Rosamond with a long o, not a short one, so the automatic nn would be something like Rose or Rosie.
Rosalind Mary or Rosalind Susan or something else 1950sish. Rosalind Patricia?
Rosamond Philippa is wonderfully medieval. Rosamond Alice likewise.
