[Opinions] Rosamind & Rosemind
Rosamind & Rosemind
Are these actually names? I know there's Roselind and Rosalind, but I've been thinking about those other two for some time now. They sound better and better, but I'm not sure if it would be too weird to actually call a person this... They would probably be confused with the -lind names a lot. WDYT?

I love Rosamind and Rosemind, and well as Rosamund/ Rosamond. It's got some good, old-fashioned, charm to it, very pretty, very distinguished.

I love this old English name. Henry II's mistress was Rosamund Clifford. Some historian's believe Queen Eleanor (of Acquitaine) had her rival poisoned, but there is no actual proof of this. Rosamund reeks with historic romance, to me. Love it.

Oh, I didn't even think of Rosamund. That is a real name, I'm not sure if the others are.
Very pretty, yes :) Rosamonde is now my favorite name.
