Never been a big fan or Rose names. It's a little dated for my taste.

I like Rosamond and Rosamund equally. Rosemonde leaves people wondering how to pronounce it.Rosamund Pike is a rather well known actress and brings up positive associations, in my opinion.

I like Rosamund and Rosamond and I love the French Rosemonde.It's a stately name.

I think prefer Rosamond or Rosamund because it is a very formal feeling name, and the added E makes it feel even moreso. I like Rose names, and I do like the sound and look of it, but I don't know if I'd use it. It's very Shakespearean, too, which can be good or bad.

I like the spelling Rosamund, and its sort of pretty, I like the rose part but the end remingds me of Edmond.

Rosamund is nice, I like Edmund on a boy, so the "-mund" always has male conotations to me. It's not bad though... I do like Rosalind, a lot.

I don't care much for Rosamund because of the last syllable. I don't think that "mund" is an attractive sound. For that reason I much prefer Rosaline, in fact, I love it. You could use the adorable nickname Rosie for either one.
