HelpRe: Rosamund or Rosalind? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I pronounce the Ros- element differently: Rosamond sounds like Rose and Rosalind sounds like Roz.
I love the complicated etymological knots that medieval people tied themselves into when discussing Queen Eleanor and Rosamond Clifford: Rosa Munda = Chaste Rose while Rosa Mundi means The World's Rose!
The only Rosalind I've known was not a good advertisement for the name, so Rosamond with an -o- would be my choice; I actually like it enough to use.
