I’m hardcore crushing on Rosamund right now. I prefer the “Rose-uh-mund” pronunciation to “Roz-uh-mund” — will that be a headache? Which do you prefer? I also love the nn Rose. I know a lot of people say “mund” seems masculine, but I actually think it grounds the name and add warmth. What do you think?
Should the fact that Rosamund means “pink mouth” in German dissuade me? She could always go by Rose around Germans if need be
I love Rosamund and Rose as a nickname!! How lovely!! I quite like the roz-uh-mund pronunciation myself, but I don’t think your preferred pronunciation would be too much of a headache. Also I don’t think the meaning matters very much! Especially if her nickname is Rose!
I love the name [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] I would say it exactly how you would it’s such a lovely name and I have it on my list for at a least a year now and the meaning in [name_m]German[/name_m] does not faze me at all.
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is lovely; personally I’ve comes to prefer the [name_f]Roz[/name_f]- pronunciation as I think it adds some sharpness to the name, something fresh - character.
I don’t think the [name_m]German[/name_m] meaning should dissuade you, [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is used in [name_u]Germany[/name_u] (if not so much currently due to being rather old fashioned), btw, [name_f]Rosamond[/name_f], in case that’s another spelling on your mind, means pink moon in [name_m]German[/name_m]. Also, [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] is a name that’s in use and actually much more common than [name_f]Rose[/name_f] nowadays.
Hmm, [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] is lovely! I always think of the great [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_m]Parks[/name_m] and, until a year ago when I started seeing it on name sites, almost thought of it eponymous with her, but now I realize its wider use. I’m going to mull this one over. Thank you, [name_f]Polly[/name_f]!
Oh, I was mainly talking about when she’s around [name_m]German[/name_m] people, sometimes the [name_f]English[/name_f] R is difficult to say so the [name_f]English[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] may be butchered by some; the [name_m]German[/name_m] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is relatively old-fashioned, while [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] or even the [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] are a little more modern ! I do love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as an [name_f]English[/name_f] nickname for [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], though, definitely my favourite
I love [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] (and Rose) and I always pronounce it Rose-uh-mund so to me [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a natural nickname, for what it’s worth (maybe I’ve been mispronouncing it all this time, haha!)
I absolutely love [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] she’s strong, refreshing, incredibly feminine, and elegant. I personally pronounce this name as roz-uh-mund which to me is a lovely pronunciation. However I’m sure you could correct people so they use the pronunciation you want. Honestly I think this name is fab love the strength and sophistication behind the name along with the wonderful nicknames which keep her feeling fun.
I love Rosamund!! I’ve never heard the roz-uh-mind pronunciation, I’ve only said and heard rose-uh-mund so I think you’ll be fine with that (plus now I know the other pronunciation I know I much prefer rose-uh-mund). It feels so sweet and light, very cottagecore-ish to me, it has a very airy type elegance to it
rosamund is a lovely name, and while i vastly prefer the roz-uh-mund pronunciation, i don’t think rose-uh-mund would be a difficult name to wear at all.
