My favourite is easily Rosalinde with an e at the end.

I always forget about Rosemay — what a lovely one. I have also seen Rosebay.
Rosalbanne is pretty intriguing. So many of these are new to me and so nice, I can’t choose a favorite. Maybe Rosemeen or Roosje.

I’ve always been a fan of the romantic Rosamond, but I do like Rosalba and Rosalie.
