HelpRe: Rosalind vs Rosamund
in reply to a message by Morgan1599
It's partly a pronunciation issue, I think.
I've always heard ROZalind and ROSEamund; although I love the Shakespeare reference, I've had a very bad experience with a Rosalind which has pretty much spoilt it for me. And though I don't much enjoy the thought of 'horse protection' (who's protecting whom?), I do like the Latinised version of Rosa Munda or, preferably, Rosa Mundi! And as a nn I prefer Rose to Roz.
The other issue is the spelling. I just don't find Rosamund attractive, but I'd willingly have named a daughter Rosamond.
