Pronunciation of Rosamund?

I’ve added this to my list, and I’ve been pronouncing it [name]ROSE[/name]-a-mund, which sounds gorgeous to me. But nameberry says it’s pronounced Rozz-a-mund…

Is either pronunciation accepted, or am i pronouncing it wrong? I like it my way, but i dislike the Rozz sound

Well, it’s rare name. Doubt anyone outside nameberry would know correct pronunciation. Also, I believe both pronunciations are acceptable.

I vote for [name]Rose[/name]-a-mund pronunciation. :slight_smile:

I’ve always pronounced it Rozz-a-mund, but I suppose it could be either.

I say [name]Rose[/name] a mund. I love [name]Rosalind[/name] but prn the wrong way of [name]Rose[/name] a lind. I also don’t care for the Rozz sound.

I’ve always pronounced it rose-a-mund. I really dislike roz-a-mund.

I think you’re good. I think both are acceptable and rose-a-mund is very pretty.

You could say it either way. I say it with the soft “o” though – and without the second syllable (so something like ROZZ-mend)

I like rose- names prn like rose- although I’m not sure if this is correct.

I think the technically “correct” pronunciation is [name]Roz[/name]-a-mund. But a lot of people like it the other way and I don’t think you’d get any weird looks if you called your kid rose-a-mund instead.

I have always preferred the rose-a-mind pronunciation as well!
