We can’t find a single girls name we both like.
I’ve considerd Tamsin before and starting to consider it again but don’t come across it much so was wondering what others thought of it?

Classic
Dated?
A bit ‘posh’ in a good or a bad way?
Common

Etc etc

Our DD is P ene lope so want a name that has a similar feel to that which to me is
Classic
Feminine but not too girly
Known but not overly common
Don’t mind the ‘its a bit posh’ comments we got in the early days

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Tamsin is a great name and not used very often. I know some people are concerned she would be nicknamed Tammy but I have never met a Tamsin who was called Tammy.

I think it has Cornish roots and was originally Tamzin?

I really like it. I think it goes very well with Penelope

Gorgeous name. Go for it.

I don’t think of Tamsin as a classic, as such. But I certainly don’t think it’s dated. It’s pretty, feminine, and tuneful. But not twee or sickly.

I think it goes really well with your DD’s name xx

I quite like it, it goes well with Penelope. It sounds timeless to me, would suit all ages, it's not too commonly used but still a recognised name.
