*Love* Rosamund Augusta and Rosamund Hortense.

---

Anything paired with Rosamund is excellent, though. Such a beautiful, substantial name.

I like that Rosamund is a name you hardly come across (and I'm wondering whether I prefer the spelling Rosamond, which George Eliot used in "Middlemarch"). My main worry is that Rosamund would inevitably be called "Roz" (pronounced "rahz"), and then people would think her name was Roslyn, or something.

---

Of the combos you posted, I like:

---

Rosamund Elaine
Rosamund Eloise
Rosamund Eve
Rosamund Geneva
Rosamund Joanna
Rosamund Maria (normally I think Maria is just boring, but here I think she flows well)
Rosamund Olivia
Rosamund Sophia
Rosamund Yseult (though I like Rosamund Iseult better)

---

My I suggest:

---

Rosamund Adela
Rosamund Adele
Rosamund Elisa
Rosamund Elise
Rosamund Idella
Rosamund Idelle
Rosamund Idonea
Rosamund Igraine
Rosamund Ilana
Rosamund Imelda
Rosamund Iola
Rosamund Iolana
Rosamund Iona
Rosamund Isaura
Rosamund Isaure
Rosamund Isobel
Rosamund Isolde
Rosamund Ivy
Rosamund Jane
Rosamund Julise
Rosamund Ygraine
Rosamund Yvette

Aww, I like treacly romanticism. Haha. Some of my favorite names are very romantic or Shakespearean in nature.

---

However, Rosamund has never quite captured my interest, but you've made some lovely combos.

---

My favorites are:

---

Rosamund Agnes
Rosamund Clarice
Rosamund Eve
Rosamund Helene
Rosamund Leona
Rosamund Yseult

Rosamund is lovely. I don't prefer it to Rosalind, I think I like them about the same. Rosamund is strong, romantic, & reminds me of a medieval princess or something. I do slightly prefer Rosemonde but I think I'm probably the only one! :)

---

Favorite combos:
Rosamund Alice
Rosamund Clare
Rosamund Elaine
Rosamund Eve
Rosamund Ianthe
Rosamund Olivia (I love the repeating O sounds here)

---

Lots of lovely combos here, however! These are just the ones I would use.

Do you prefer the -mund version? I like -mond, myself.

---

My go-to mns are Philippa, Margaret, Cecily, Eleanor and Isobel. All with a medieval vibe, except perhaps Isobel.

I love it, but only the ROZ-a-mund pronunciation, I don't like ROSE-a-mund so much. I went to school with a really nice red-haired Rosamund when I was around 11 or so, and I've liked it since then. I prefer it to a lot of other Ros- names like Rosalind and Rosalie which seem a bit more frilly, I feel like the non-pretty -mund part makes it feel grounded and down to earth.

I love Rosamund so! It is a marvelous name. I like that the meaning pushed you towards the positive... medieval and nobly earthy indeed. Some great combos... I like Alix, Alice, Inez, Laura, Maria, Ruth, Sibylla, Sophie, and Yseult especially.

It seems so stodgy to me, and I typically love these types of names. It's just so matronly. I prefer Rosalind by miles.

I like Rosamund, but it holds nowhere near the appeal for me that Rosaline (line; not leen) does. I would consider using Rosaline, but would be happy to see Rosamund on someone else’s child. Your comments about horses have me chucklingly saying Horsemund in my head now.

---

I’ll choose the three combos you’ve listed I like best:

---

1. Rosamund Frances
2. Rosamund Sibylla
3. Rosamund Virginia

---

No Rosamund Lavinia today? That would have made my top three.

The mund sound annoys me a bit, as it does in Edmond as well, but I think its really cool. I think its a bit more unique then plain Rose and it sounds cooler then Rosalind.

I like it, though I prefer Rose names like Rosetta, Rosalina, Rosina, Rosita, Rosalba, Rosario, Rosemary, Rosella, Etc.

I like its treacly romanticism, but I'm put off by the "mund" at the end. I don't find that syllable attractive, which is why I prefer Rosaline.

I like it a lot! It's very mature (a kid would have to grow into it) but there are plenty of Rose nicknames like Rose, Rosa, Rosie, & Ro. And a few "stretch" nicknmes like Sam. Or even Mundy... which I think is 'ugly in a cool way' (I could see it as a nickname with a hipster kind of appeal). Basically there are nicknames available for any kind of personality.
I completely agree about the meaning!

I like (* = best):
Rosamund Agnes-- I only like the French pronunciation of Agnes though
Rosamund Alice
Rosamund Althea*
Rosamund Augusta*
Rosamund Aurelia
Rosamund Clara
Rosamund Cordelia
Rosamund Elaine
Rosamund Eva-- I like ay-va
Rosamund Flora -- I almost deleted this but it grew on me in 2 seconds
Rosamund Geneva
Rosamund Ginevra
Rosamund Helene* (also Helen and Helena)
Rosamund Ianthe*
Rosamund Leona
Rosamund Louisa
Rosamund Olivia

Horse protection ... like something that prevents horses from biting or kicking you. Definitely not romantic. Not even very attractive.

---

This is one of the ugliest Rose names. It's heavy and ponderous and ugly.

Rosamund is not something I'd use myself, not because I don't like it, but because it literaly means "pink mouth" in my Native Language.

---

Anyways, I love Rosamund with Elaine, Viola and Violette!
