I love
Rose for its simplicity. While it is overly used as a mn, as a fn it is refreshing. The nn
Rosie is adorable and spunky.
But I must give preference to
Rosamund. She's an underdog. So few people will understand or find beauty in the "-mund" ending. But I love how romantic and historic
Rosamund is. I'm transported back to the court of
Henry II of England and his mistress
Rosamund Clifford. (Poor
Eleanor of Acquitaine.) I just love names that can do that.
Why does
Rosa not get any attention? She seems to be one of the most overly looked "rose" names out there. Just saying . . . .
