Rosamund

This is a very pretty name.

I love this name very much! It's the name of a very beautiful character in the book Jane Eyre, it means the rose of the world, and honestly I was mesmerised the first time I saw it, it's lovely and elegant, and most importantly it's rare!

Rosamund, with her elegant resonance and timeless charm, truly encapsulates the essence of beauty and grace. Much like a rose, I imagine that individuals bearing this name exude a sense of enchantment that blurs the line between fantasy and reality... they possess a rare beauty that radiates from within, captivating all those who stop to observe. In the silky pinkish letters, there is a sense of sophistication and refinement, as well as natural simplicity and warmth. I believe that to bear the name Rosamund is to carry a piece of the world's beauty within oneself, a reminder of the enduring magic of nature's most beloved flower.

I like this name a lot. One of my favourite names beginning with ‘Rosa’.

I love all these names which come from the Germanic element "hros" for horse. They're all stunning! (Rosalind, Rosamund, Roswell)

I love being a Rosamund! It's so rare I've never met another Rosamund in my life (which, in my opinion, is a good thing), but it's definitely a head-turner. Everyone compliments me on my name when I say it. I go by Rose or Rosie on a more daily basis. I pronounce it Rose-a-mund, which is the only way I've ever heard it pronounced, ever! I've seen some people online assume that Roz-mund or Roz-a-mund is the "correct" pronunciation of the name, but that isn't true at all. The Roz pronunciation is actually one possible pronunciation for this name. I'd say it's more commonly pronounced Rohz-a-mund (almost like raw?) or Rose-a-mund in the U.K. Here in the U.S., I've always gotten Rose-a-mund when people read it off paper, and only very few mispronounce it (Rose-a-moond, etc.). Rosamund is actually a family name that has come down generations in my family tree, and they were all called Rose-a-mund. It also means "protector/defender of honor" in its German roots while it's more commonly associated with the "rose of the world" or the "horse protection" meaning today. :)

I pronounce this as ROZ-uh-mind. It's really bold and girly. But I also think that it sounds masculine. (Rosamund, Edmond, Cunimund, Sigmund, Richmond, Desmond, Redmond all end in the same sound.)
No one is wrong for thinking that the name sounds manly. That's why some people don't like the name. They can't see it on a girl, its dominant gender. I can, but I think this should become unisex if it isn't already. Only half of the name is girly. The rest is all man.
I like it.

This name makes me think of mint for no reason.

I like it.

I like this name much more now. It's really elegant and has some nice nickname options.

It seems slightly masculine because of the -mund ending, which reminds me of the name Edmund. I prefer Rosalind(a).

Dislike. Only like Rosa.

Gorgeous and theatrical name that is in the same league as Victoria and Elizabeth, love it so much and the nickname possibility of Rose.

I adore this name! It sounds mature (perhaps a fitting name for an elderly British countess in a story?), but it can suit a small girl as well with nicknames like "Rosie", while sounding more refined than names such as "Rose". A more youthful, but equally beautiful option is the Shakespearean Rosalind.

Absolutely love this name. Rosamund is a rare beauty of a name. I'd probably use it as a middle name for Alice, personally :-)

The most beautiful Rose name, it's elegant, distinguished, and striking!

Personally, I love this name! I don't find the -mund too masculine at all, but I think it's just gorgeous! It sounds medieval and mysterious and it attracts attention because it's uncommon. I'd pronounce it either "Rose-a-mund" or "Rhoz-a-mund", but probably "Rose-a-mund" because I like it more.

It took a while for me to like this name, because I thought it sounded too much like a surname and not personal enough for a first name. Now that doesn't bother me anymore, because there are plenty of great first names that end with "-mund", but I can't think of any surnames that do. Sure, all other first names that I can think of ending with "mund" are masculine, but I don't think that makes Rosamund sound any less feminine- I actually think it sort of accents it, and at the same time weighs down the first two syllables. A lot of popular girly names today either don't sound feminine at all, or only suit little girls. I think Rosamund is gorgeous and can suit any age well.
Besides for that, the meaning and history is lovely enough to stand on its own.

The 'mund' makes it sound too masculine.

The most strikingly beautiful of the Rose- names.

Amazing name, definitely worth using and suits any age! :)

Reminds me of the name Edmund.

Even though I like Rosalie a lot more than this name, it has an aura about it that a lot of other names lack.

The name feels ugly and blunt to me.

I'm in love with pretty much any Rose name but I think Rosamund might even be more of my favourite than Rose or Rosemary. I think it's absolutely gorgeous either as a first name with nickname Rose/Rosie or as a middle name. I think I like it as a middle name for either Jane or Autumn. Jane Rosamund. Autumn Rosamund. Charlotte Rosamund? Evelyn Rosamund? Oh, how I love Rosamund!

Gorgeous and classy name. Leaves all the other Rose names in its wake.
